For the money this is a beautiful boat, wife has the pro version and it got us into the boats now we have Tfl boats and proboats everywhere. This boat is worth every penny, only problem was a hose falling off and filling the boat with water . Very stable and easy to drive, nice work mate.
i couldn't have said it better thanks peter! i haven't yet had the hose fall off but i might add some small zip to for some preventative maintenance!
I too has really got me into rc boats!
nice demo! id be afraid to get in there lol that looks like a mecca for those croc's
@@johnyaskoveakarpaccio4737 haha, nah, no crocodiles in there, just me and the fish 🤣
That’s insane love your videos
Thanks dude 😀
Love your channel, like to see other rc stuff. I always wanted a boat but never pulled the trigger.
Thanks dude! If you aren't 100% sure, try and borrow and have a go of some else's if you have that chance, it's really fun! I thought it wouldn't be that fun, but it is 😀
@@MatthewSimm I know I would love it! It’s just not near a lake. But that won’t stop me! Thanks mr. Simm
I put a new stuffing tube and 3/16 flex with 4216 prop, 3660 1800kv hobbystar motor, 90amp seaking esc. Running 6s You definitely have to tape the hatch and stuff the front with flotation. Its fast!!
That thing has an evil spirit in it holy crap that boat is a speed demon 😈
I love it! So fast but has potential for a lot more 😀
Does it reverse?
In have ordered one also and came in yesterday, my girl ordered youre full throtlle sticker also greetings from the Netherlands
Hey Ronald! I remember the order 😀 hopefully they come in soon, you and your partners and Legends!
Wow that looks pretty cool! Definitely make it faster!
Oh definitely! More speeeed 🤣🤣
Great review brother! And congratulations on going over 5k subs! 😃🍺🍺
Cheers dude! Your turn next! 😁
@@MatthewSimm Hahaha. 😃 Thanks brother!
This boat is really cool I love your vids
thanks dude :) yeah its awesome!
Speed build time 👌
💯
Man that thing rips 👍
It sure does, I love it 😀
great vid bro!👍🏻🤩 love that boot🛥💨
Thanks dude, yeah, it's awesome 😀
That boats so fast definitely try and get it to 100! The slow mo at the end looks awesome
Cheers dude, it looks better on my camera because it's not compressed, it's so cool. I'll be definitely trying for 100mph it might be a slow project but a fun one 😀
Nice boat man, can you test the Volantex RC ATOMIC SR85 ?
I like the Catamarans.
I'm waiting on the volantex Atomic V792-4, I believe it's the cheaper version of the sr85, I'm not sure if I'll get the sr85 though sorry dude
Your channel is really growing fast!!
This video was amazing! I love the Slo no shots!!
It goes pretty dang fast! Definitely go for 100mph!!!
Hey thanks dude 😀
I had a really good time filming this, it's hard to get boat footage haha, glad the water wasnt too cold 🤣🤣
@@MatthewSimm no problem!
I was pretty sure the water was pretty warm (cause it Australia😂😂) l
Yeah haha, it's was a little cold but not too bad 😀 cooling down here now, I'm you guys are heating up?
@@MatthewSimm it’s warming up a bit here. I think we might get one last snowfall before we get some nice summer weather!!
Nice dude, I don't get snow here, just abit cold, it's good for rc cars though haha
I want one of these just brought my kids the atomic but this wow loads of room for upgrades getting my other son this but not the pro
Man water would be easier for speed runs and cool as that was awesome that boat 👊👍💯
It definitely helps keep the motor cool!
I have heaps of water where I live sone plenty of spots to try 😀
Interesting the rudder is offset from centre. Does turning one direction seem different from the other?
yeah i would say it does turn a little sharper to the right but i wouldn't say it was a huge difference
It's to Counter tourqe wouldn't be trimmed straight if it was in the middle
@@Billskins4dayz oh ok! Interesting
Super cool dude stil dont know witch rc i AM gonna buy 😓Nice vid
Aww man :/ well, I'm sure either one will be good, maybe make a pros and cons list?
@@MatthewSimm good idee thx dude
No worries 😀 let me know what you choose.
Awesome Video !!!
what motor and esc upgrades can fit in this? ive been eyeballing them since me and my gf got into kayaking
Love the vids
Thanks dude, appreciate it 😀
Nice video mate I'm in to my 1/5 scale cars but I think I'm getting one off these boats
Hi Matt, just purchased one of theses boats after watching your awesome videos and wondering if you might be able to give me some advice as I’m having trouble binding/connecting the transmitter to bind to the receiver. Is there a light on receiver to indicate that is on as my doesn’t do anything when battery is plugged into it. I’m not getting any throttle or rudder response? I’ve retested my batteries just to make sure there fully charged and just in case one battery my be faulty I’ve tried both batteries. Can you give me any advice on how to get my boat running? Sorry for the novice question..
Hey Ryan! 👋
It has been a while since I have used my boat. So here are a few things I recommend trying.
1. With everything on, put it in water, some boats can sense water (not sure if this is one of those boats, so my apologies)
2. Check all the cables to make sure nothing is loose. I know it seems simple but sometimes that's all it takes.
3. If it is a binding issue, I would recommend taking it to the local hobby shop, they should be able to bind it quick and probably won't even charge you for it.
If this fails, contact me by email and I'll see if I can help with a solution, I may even have some spares if you need 😀
Also, I forgot to mention.
Turn in the transmitter first, then the boat, now (SAFELY) pull the trigger to full throttle for a second and back to neutral.
@@MatthewSimm thanks heaps for the reply, will start with these solutions and work my way through them. If still no success I’ll make contact with hobby store I purchased it from.. just thought I’d try here first.
keep up the great work mate!!👍
@@MatthewSimm yeah tried this process just not getting any power from esc or servo so could be a more internal problem… cheers mate 👍
So just another thing I’m wondering do I need to put that xt60 plug loop looking thing that came in the tool kit provided on the other connector when I’m running a single 4S battery?
Hi man, I bought myself a 4s battery too but it comes with ec5 plug so I bought adapter ec5 to xt60. However the boat does not power on. U know why?
Hey mate nice boat! Anyone can suggest which one is better the SR80 pro or the atomic SR850 😅 hard for me to decide which one to buy 😂
Any idea where I can find the instructions to set throttle end points with my new radio?
What radio do you have?
@@MatthewSimm dumborc x6
Do u recommend that or the smaller one for someone who has RC cars but doesn’t have any boats?
If you are a decent rc car driver, you'll be fine with the bigger one 😀
If your are new to the rc hobby, then maybe a smaller one would be better
Yay kilometres
I remembered 😉
Just ordered this boat, do you have a link for the batteries you used? Not sure exactly which plug type to order for it.
Upgrade the speed controller and it will go much faster
Yeah I've done that but now it's too fast and jumps out of the water haha, I need to adjust weight wtc..
If you like rc, get this boat. Great value and it is a blast.
I agree! Do you have one?
@@MatthewSimm sure do. Super for the price
Nice dude!
it can directly use 4S battery isn't? by using stock motor and esc?
Yes 😀
@@MatthewSimm thanks mate for your reply, appreciate it
No worries 😀
Where you buying the probs and stuff from for this
Bagus sekali saya lihat dan berharap harga nya
My shaft where my propeler broke. It happened to me twice already. Is this normal with this kind of boat sr80?
PERFETC
Thanks 😀
Super ☺
😀
38mph considering you did not adjust trims or try anything but stock prop is fast imo.
That's good!
Does this Boat take 1 or 2 batteries to run
Also how long does it take to charge
put the next size prop on it and thats all you'll need ... ;-)
What 6s did u put in there?
I have recently put a blx185 from a kraton, I dont recommend it though because it's not a marine esc, video coming soon 😀
stock prop?
Yes 😀
How long can the battery last?
That depends on the battery, I used a 7000mah and got about 40mins
@@MatthewSimm tnx for the reply. Because I got min with Li po of 5000 mah. Only last for 30 mins. So it is normal to last that long. I thought it could take for 1 hr.
30 minutes is correct for a 5000mah on 4s 😀
@@MatthewSimm also can you do reverse with this kind of boat bcoz mine doesn’t reverse?
No it doesn't, mine does not reverse either
Wish you would've shown the self-righting functionality. Good video otherwise.
The hatch locks are shit on these they snap off really easy
Yeah they are dude, it's an unfortunate flaw in an awesome rc boat
Yeh mate I've got 13 boats I got the Spartan and M41 and they go super fast
I don't like the shape of the vector
Didn't take U long to break it buddy the hatch on these are shit
There r better boats on the market
