This was a genius move. No other RTR boat this size I know of that self rights. Going to have to get this one for sure.

![]() Yes it is! And floodchamber self righting works so much better than the ones you have to use throttle to get to roll back over. |

Thanks for posting this. Here is some more info.
The boat will self right empty, it does not rely on the weight of a battery, but the weight of the battery does help it self right quicker. Self right feature works in about 10 seconds. Battery is center mounted so the boat will perform evenly when turning left or right. Prop is stainless steel, de-tongued. Motor is 3674 4 pole 3.5D wind rated at 2400 watts,. ESC is our tried and proven 120A Dynamite ESC. Sealing canopy with thumb screws. 4.7mm flex shaft. 2 piece strut with easily replaceable long barrel brass busing. Battery trays accept 2 packs for combined voltage or a single 4, 5, or 6s pack. Priced to fly off shelves at $399.99 ![]() |

Nice boat!
But to be honest, I'm typing this with a smile from ear to ear, due to the fuss that's being made over a selfrighting monohull... Everybody that's not all thumbs can add a floodchamber to almost any monohull... The fact that it has to be RTR, probably indicates how many people have the skills and are willing to invest some time in their existing hulls to make them self righting. Regards, Jan. |

Looks like it could be a good one performance-wise. My flood chamber boats handle much better than the bloated, roll-over boats like the Recoils, the Fei Lun FT series and the smaller Barbwires to same some.
Priced too high in my opinion though. Any $400 boat should come with a fiberglass hull. Strength is not the issue. A two-piece molded plastic hull assembled via "shoebox construction" (basically the same tech as how a plastic lid fits over and around the top of the paper cups at McDonalds) is far cheaper to manufacture. In fact, the toy-class $60 NQD "Tear Into" jet boat is built that same way. ![]() ![]() I guess that overlap is why the tip of the bow looks so odd: ![]() I mean, for the same $400 you could have something like this beast with a proper 4-layer glass hull AND a flood chamber. http://tobsd.com/ViewDetails.aspx?ProductID=939 Sorry Raphael. Not for me. ![]() Oh no. Don't fool yourself. Capsizing is only one issue that can strand a boat. Collisions, failed electronics or hardware, etc.. Keep that emergency rig ready! ![]() |

Any boat that is already laid out for the lipos to be on opposite sides seems like it would be tricky to get a working flood chamber. Like the Spartan, Voracity, etc. Quote:

Wait until eBay does the 20% off coupon, and buy the boat from HH's eBay store for $320 ![]() |
