where did you get that boat to start with? i have been wanting to do a boat to go with my cars and a jet boat seems like the best way so i can run in my backyard during a big rain if i wanted lol.

link to that crazy cheap brushless setup on ebay too?

I never knew those boats were so fast. I have the fastest stadium truck they make (stock of course), but that would straight up push its **** in if you pitted 'em up in a drag race. lol

Heres where i got mine http://www.raidentech.com/17wajetrcelr.html

This is the motor and esc i used- http://cgi.ebay.com/KV-3700-Brushles...item3ef9fc860a

There are 100s of different motor and esc set up's you can go with. I just used that one since it was really cheap. I can say my next motor will be a water cooler inrunner and water cooled esc.

Oh also about hobby city (bought my batt and charger from them), they have great prices but expect a 2 to 3 week wait to get your parts lol

Im using the 3cell in mine but from what a few guys on the forum were telling me its pushing the limits on the motor im using.. Better to go with a 2cell. But i had already bought this battery before the motor and its all i got.

i saw another vid with one of these that had a 22 volt motor and battery combo... what you need to do is tie some really strong fishing line to this, number 6 hook and a bullet weight, and throw a night crawler on it, and do some "deep pond" fishing lol

How long do the batteries last on that thing? That little boat is freaking nuts.
