ProBoat has a new boat in the lineup called the Recoil. It's a 26" Deep-V that comes ready to run with everything you need. It's a peppy little guy with its included 2100Kv watercooled brushless motor and 3S 3200mAh Lipo. That power system delivers 30+ MPH speeds on the water. It also features a self-righting hull so if you get flipped wrong side up, all you need to do is hit the throttle and the Recoil will flip itself right side up so you can keep on running.
Inside the box you'll find the boat assembled and with all electronics installed. You get a Pro Boat 2.4Ghz radio system made for marine use. The boat has an allow rudder and stainless tabs for trimming as well as stainless hardware. It comes pre-painted in the fiery yellow, orange and red trim seen in the photos below.

Wow, I really like this. Looks much more promising than the 17" version. Does anyone know if this is also based on a Joysway boat as well?

I believe this one is all-new. At least that's what I read in an earlier post displaying it.

Quick question, proboat recoil 26 stock, if I wanted to upgrade motors would I go higher kv or lower kv with larger prop? Also would like to keep stock esc.

A octura x640 will really wake this boat up.

Just keep in mind that the KV of the motor is key to the self right feature. You will lose that with a lower KV motor which may require you to rapidly hit forward, reverse, forward to rocks the boat and flip it over. |

Decision
Looking at the Recoil 26 and the barbwire 24 having trouble deciding as there just isn't much info out there about the recoil 26 yet. Any thoughts out there?

So just want to ask you a few : 1. If I were to go 4s, as you mentioned the problem is the stock ESC. So which ESC do you think is a good upgrade? 2. I am new to RC boats, so I am lost when it comes to propellers. I know the stock propellers are sold as parts/replacement parts & I also know there is a metal props sold too which fits the Recoil 26. So is there any other metal props that you recommend? Is this a contender? |

Picked up this awesome little boat to finally start getting into boating. Loving it so far. Unfortunately I had a little brain fart earlier when taking the flex shaft out to grease it. Attaching a picture to better help describe my question.
The piece that is circled in black.. is the tapered side supposed to be towards the motor or towards the rear of the boat? The piece fell out and I can't seem to remember which way it goes and don't see any exploded parts views for this boat. |
