FT012 Cheap Brushless Racing Boat First Time Out

[@princessstar1872]

Me and my father-in-law have just purchased 2 of these, too frozen to run right now, but several videos have really made me think we make a good choice on boats, however, I purchased mine on Christmas day at $62.80 plus shipping, that was free,, my father-in-law waited until 16th of this month, he paid $96.00 plus shipping, again free, loved your video, I am very pleased, and know my purchase will be more then worth it. thanks for the video

I received this boat last week. I loved taking it out for a spin. The ESC gave up upon me after a second reload. Now there is a replacement on the way. But the boat is a great sail. And it has a great running time too! So still.. If the new ESC holds out it is a great boat for a great price. It can actually hold up against the spead of a Traxxas Spartan on stock Nihm batteries.

[@rockon2kp1]

Just ordered mine yesterday, so stoked! This is about 1/8 the price of a Traxxas Spartan and goes 7/8 the speed. It also accelerates faster than the Traxxas. Sold

Andrew no where near as big tho

[@lydiapasierbek3634]

Best mod I've found, is to grind off the little stops on the rudder to give it more turn.... makes for some cool spins!Keep them away from salt water unless you like swimming

[@RCAddictMakuloco]

I've been there with the 007 boats it was worth it while it lasted.

[@usasupra23]

Lydia Pasierbek I don’t see any stops on mine but I want to knife edge the steering rudder front. Any other tricks?

[@jeff0566jsm]

You'll find out if you haven't already these boats may be small but there very powerful and very, very fast out of the box what's needed to really enjoy these are bigger venues! By that I mean bigger lake, smooth water!

[@martinpham3248]

Its not quite, shes a monster, love the scream

[@qtonyq66]

Because where I live at that part looks like New Jersey and not too far from my house thank you for replying

[@usasupra23]

Can I upgrade to the 2200 35C 3S battery and use the same charger and will that be the best route to go to keep it super simple?

[@vildebill2000]

Did the sealing tape help? Im starting to think mine leaks water from the shaftholes or something

[@bluspirit81]

What s your upgrade?

[@Marceloaesse]

Luck gui. Nice place.

[@weekendwireless]

What’s the difference between the 11 and 12 ?

[@qtonyq66]

Video taken in New Jersey❓

[@RCAddictMakuloco]

Chicago why you say Jersey?

[@k1ortia]

is this standard out the box? if so it's pretty quick

[@stevefox3763]

you say the turn is "like" torque steer, thats exactly what it is!

[@PaulDoodes]

Can it run on 2?

[@luc2.099]

Paul Doodes it comes out of the box with 3s so yes you can run 2s

[@PowerUpTo360]

Would electrical tape do the trick?

[@blakemargason5867]

yes it works fine but i never need to tape it up as the double seal is normally enough except a couple drips of water in! hope that helps.

[@PowerUpTo360]

Blake M 4 Thanks

[@blakemargason5867]

PowerUpTo360 no worries

[@MrFLYBY77]

Its $114.99 on tmart.com

[@RCAddictMakuloco]

MrFLYBY77 Amazon just dropped to the price to $99 shipped to your door! I actually just bought another for that price. Links are updated in video description. This is great just in time for the lakes to get warm.

[@Paulsmarinesalvage]

MrFLYBY77 I bought from tmart, got it last week, charged batteries and it doesn't work. They are giving me a real hard time about a return/refund too. Beware

[@jlr6]

Its $ 236 on Amazon not 120

[@Sackmatters]

It's $100 change the store you buy it from.

[@gloop2419]

+James Roberson i got mine off gearbest.com for 84$ with shiping

[@clintmacas]

Got mine $84

[@angrybritishkid7513]

I searched this boat on Web and came up as $83 so it's not cheap

[@RCAddictMakuloco]

+react boy 751 That is cheap for a brushless racing boat!
