But not in the HACKS room, please. Way off-topic. Dadtech has a thread for this boat going on here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...k-Mod-on-WL912 |

I didn't actually go ahead and do it, because i didn't get any verification from any other member that what i was thinking was correct.
I guess i should just do it and work out potential issues on the way. |

I guess this is not such a popular boat and not many people care about it.

I'm pretty sure no matter what you buy in this hobby your going to have to through some money at it to either keep it going, mod it & make it faster. |

I already have a good fast boat the Volantex Atomic.
I just wanted to fix/repair the wl912. If you have a good reliable model it does not cost you anything to keep it running unless you crash it or drive it like you stole it. The gears on the wl912 broke on the 2nd run and the boat is not that fast so its build quality is not good |
