Still waiting on a package from down under, but this will give us a chance to see the results of changes individually.
Two things I did prior to this was add a couple ounces of weight in the rear. Box stock on 4s it was little light in the rear
And swapped out the plastic gear Traxxas servo.

Not pleased with the range on the flysky setup. It lost signal a few times when it really wasn’t that far away. It was constantly throwing the warning. I’ll probably swap it with the mt12

Seems like having a chase boat is non-optional.
The smile on your boy's face says it all!
Awesome summer fun!!!

I've never seen someone running an RC boat without a huge smile on their face. That looks like an absolute blast.
