A quick look at my Traxxas M-41 DCB widebody. This is a fantastic boat straight out of the box. I have had to do no modifications at all other than adding some cool lights. Follow me on Facebook / 1882987385325666

I have had 3 years of no problems running my M41 and have recorded just over 53mph. I have never heard anyone else doing this, but I applied some automotive paste wax to the lower hull and sponsons and I'd guess that was good for 2-3 more mph. Great fun and a well made boat!

How's the boat been running... Been thinking about getting one. Have you had any issues with water in the hull... I was was thinking about putting down a layer of foam in the grooves for the lid... Kinda like PROBOAT does

NICE BOAT. I got mine , recently. Another friend, has his seriously hopped up, and using an AUX, ON,, ALL time, all the time, pump, and it seems to keep the electronics cooler. PROPS? Lose the plastic, and get serious. OCTURA M448, CNC 442 (MY boat), is a smaller diameter prop, and allows the prop to spool up better, and it keeps the system cool. X642 , and X645 , gives you better top speed, but slower out of the hole, and hot electronics. Batteries, ? Go up to a 7600 75 C, and you got a new boat. THE extra C Boost is a kick. Right now, I am hovering in the 48 -52 Mph, mark on good water. AND, thanks , for your review.

@Mark Nickells - I have a completely stock M41 and the GPS showed a best of just over 53mph! I waxed the underside and sides of the hull with automotive paste wax and I'm pretty sure that alone was good for a couple or 3 mph. Great fun! 🚤

Not too bad but never do more than two runs without leaving it to cool. The batteries get hammered though due to the high discharge rate.
