Hey Kevin, watch running the boats out of water , it's a water cooled motor and it only takes a minute to burn up out of water. I learned the hard way 😂
Hey kev, I just thought of an idea so whenever you do another x-maxx water crossing,get the boat out and you could stick a gopro on it and get a different view on the x-maxx going across the water.
Good for you guys for stepping out of the box and showing us more options for RC! Those boats looked like a lot of fun for us land dwellers. Seeing the smiles on Pat's face says a lot about the fun factor. Thank you for another fun video.
I love how you have a Lamborghini but you don’t flex it like other RUclips’s, you bought the car because you liked the car, which is how it should be! Anyways I love your content and keep up the great work!
Lane Waite I had the miss geico 29 when they first came out and just bought the traxxas m41. Proboat wins in quality and handling forsure but that m41 is sure fun!
@@r3nko93 The M41 definitely is fun. A guy I work with has one. It's a simple platform and it's got the Traxxas backing, but you are definitely right about the ProBoat being good quality. I was going to get the M41, then thought I decided on the Sonicwake after having watched videos. Then I saw the Zelos, and right away that boat is for me for sure. The biggest sell point on me was the freaking rooster tails! That was so cool to me. Now that I have one I am VERY glad I went this route rather than the M41. Like I said though, the M41 isn't a bad boat, just doesn't thrill me like the Zelos. Traxxas is fairly new to boating compared to the ProBoat brand, but you can't go wrong with the Traxxas if that's the way you go. There is a lot of good companies out there that make some good stuff, it all comes down to where you send your money. Lol
Glad to see you’re expanding your RC enjoyment Kev. The Mrs. and I really enjoy ours and it’s way less expensive compared to a full scale one to repair. You do know boat is an acronym: Bring On Another Thousand or Bust Out Another Thousand
You did better than I would because I would crash it very quickly, BTW that's duck abuse. Personally the banter between you and pat is the best about these boat videos
Yeeeeah, I nearly bout this one but I have no money, I spent it all on boats... Great vid Kev, also did u tighten the coupling from the flexi shaft to motor, because me and my mate both lost I prop shafts cuz we forgot to tighten them... 😅
@@LuisLPRCs I'm not sure if you are familiar with the "RC Tanks & Trucks" channel but they do good reviews of boats. Might have to search a bit to find what you are looking for though. One of their videos helped make me finally decide on the Zelos. I'll be getting my brother the Sonicwake here in a little bit, has self righting and can be beat on a bit more without the worry of flipping. Has the same ESC as my boat but has a 1900 kv motor rather than the 2000 kv pair I have in mine. I really like my Zelos. The only issue I have it the canopy can be a bugger to get on and off, but the positive about that is it seals very very well.
@@SebastianLong I seen all there boat videos. It's hard to pick one because they all look good lol! I never own a boat before, But I want a fast cool looking boat. I dont want a gas boat. To much to maintain, but they are crazy nice though. Lol!
@@LuisLPRCs the Zelos is my first boat as well. Probably not the best boat to pick to start with, but I've had a few years experience with on and off road RCs and figured it's basically all the same ingredients to make a boat. It kinda is, but you're trying to get the water near the ESC on purpose rather than trying to keep it away. Lol. Good luck on finding the one that suits you the best.
Kevin how did you like running the boat, I know it's a different fun I have a pro boat implulse 31. Lakes and flat water fun for speed but I suggest finding a river with some current and Rapids makes it way more fun. Love the videos cheers from Canada
Hi Kev, I was wondering what rc car I should get for my second rc I used to have a tamiya rising fighter, but your channel has really inspired me to get a new rc and get into the hobby again. My budget is £200. Thanks Kev...
Hey Kev....for some really cheap($100 to $130 USD) fast right out the box fun look at the Feilun FT011 and FT012. I have both they are pretty fast....but with a couple mods they fly!! Your new ride is sweet!!!!
Hey Kev, I have the same boat and just to note that the switch on the top on the controller is a launch switch, really helps when you need to launch from certain areas, asides that absolutely love your videos man 🤙
Hey Kevin what's really fun is to attach fishing line to the boat and send it around and catch a fish and pull a fish to shore we use RC boats in some of the places that it's too hard to swing a finding pole it's really fun to try to pull a bug fish to shore with a RC boat.
I have the red and white one and u need to go easy on the throttle, otherwise the prop tends to cavitate and not bite into the water hard enough. Looking to fix that and the drag from the flex shaft by installing a slightly longer straight and rigid shaft. Should increase the speed already, but I also wanna replace the default outrunner motor (high torque but can't spin all that fast, probably installed to overcome the resistance of the flex shaft) with an inrunner to increase the top RPM and gain even more speed.
You should try the pro boat recoils. They have a smaller 17 inch and a larger 26 inch. They have self righting incase they flip over :). I loved seeing some boats on your channel since I own the two above myself and I've owned many others in the past. Super fun when you want something different.
Ohhhhhh it looks fun! And I have enough money from my pool cleaning!!! I'm gonna get one!!! Now all I need is someone who I could pay so that they could order it!!!
Hi, I'm really into rc and am not too far away from cambridge, I know its asking much but could we meet? Drive some cars, boats, planes the lot. I have 2 rc boats, 2 nitro cars, 1 hover craft, 1 drone etc. What do you think?
I have the yellow one and I recently changed the ESC, receiver and the servo (ESC caught fire). I played only one time and then the boat does not accelerate. The servo works properly and I cannot understand whats going on. I bought a new battery because the old one was puffy, but again only the servo works. Any idea guys?
Question to anyone who knows about RC boats: If you add more fins to a propeller wouldn’t the boat go faster because it’s more surface that it is pushing off the water? Just a random question
What happened after the second boat was made. Drag race. Less moving parts with boats, less maintenance, less carnage. Generally if the boat doesn’t catch fire or sink it will come back and run again . Have fun bud
Making my rc boat 8s like if u think he should
You batter do it
Need to build some floating ramps too. Air them out! 😂
Yea he's gonna need it
Probably won't float
Now that's atomic

I was in the middle of watching the hour special when I accidentally clicked on this... oh well this is good too!
the hour special is better :)

i LOVE RC BOATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get a Traxxas Spartan, that thing can handle 6s ! :)

@@tcbrides5851 So what??

I have a Kyosho Jetstream 888 sing me fast and excellent handling you should try that all fiberglass
Lord Snowy and i was fine with my 30kmh century rc atlantic yacht
Ahaha you guys want me to get these boats so badly! But I got no river near me!
Lots of fun for the dads & their lads
That was the sickest slo-mo I’ve ever seen
Can you test the feilun ft011 rc boat thanks
I just got a horizon hobby recoil 17 proboat the other day and love it
I've got the Zelos myself. Had it for a few weeks now. If you ever have interest in another, definitely stick with ProBoat.

I am thinking about bying one now
Now all you need is a dirt oval race car.
Cool vid Kev. Is the boat brushless?
159 WOOHOO FROM TEXAS, COMMENT 61, NICE BOAT. KEEP VIDEOS COMING. 👍👍😎😎😎😎
old man from x maxx vid: stop that your scaring the ducks and harming the environment. 😂
haha yes!
🤣100% true.✔
Glad to see you guys in good spirits again, where's the hottie Claire🙊
You did better than I would because I would crash it very quickly, BTW that's duck abuse.
Personally the banter between you and pat is the best about these boat videos
That ducks a slow poke
SLD RC just getting them out of the way... clearing the course so they don’t get hurt.
Great 👍🏻 video. The atomic one because it was running on 3s you might be able to run a 4s in it. That could be another great video.
Please more rc boat videos I enjoy rc bots your videos are fun to watch
Lets see a race between the boat and the xmaxx water crossing haha.....carnage would happen
I have the Volantex Vector 70, I put a 50A ESC with 4s lipo, it is a riot to drive not to mention fast for a small boat.
The smile on his face is superb its priceless
Man that looked fun, California 🇺🇸 is getting harder to find water to run on. To many Regulations here.
I loves when Kev is smiling. NO HOMO
Yeeeeah, I nearly bout this one but I have no money, I spent it all on boats... Great vid Kev, also did u tighten the coupling from the flexi shaft to motor, because me and my mate both lost I prop shafts cuz we forgot to tighten them... 😅
You would wanna hope you don’t flip it in the middle of the river...........ducks to the rescue😂😂😂
wow i like that big red one.. handles well and big rooster tail
Love the vid Kev your amazing keep it up😊😊👍👍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
You should get a Traxxas Blast, I’ve had mine for years and it is still going good
iv been waiting for this one , love the last boat you had out
Hai kev I'm from Malaysian I always watch your video every day
Kev if you flipped the boat would water get in and would it break????
Try the udi arrow boat. Very similar but very fast too.
I want to get the Miss Geico 36" boat. Cool Vid 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I recommend checking out the ProBoat Zelos. Same thing except has 2 ESCs, 60 mph out of the box and twin props.
@@SebastianLong I checked out that boat also. The Hall is stronger then the Miss Geico. I'm stilll doing research on these boats.

That was cool, hope i got one of that! From the philippines. Rc lover.
Yeah! Another great video Kev! Glad you are expanding the RC boat action.
If you enjoyed that you should have a go with something like the Thrasher V3 on some rapids.
If your getting into boats another great beginners boat is the exmitter vector 80 it can run on two 2s lipid and can reach 50mph
Looks awesome, i might have to try it one day

A nice little float plane ? maybe a jet turbine rc boat? .... but you'll need a much bigger pond ...like a lake .
Lol ok i wanted you to have some boats on the channel....... Yup i was wrong😬😬. Stick to the cars mate🍻👍
*I wish I had as many cars as you and btw I got the helion dominous 10 SC V2 and it's a beast. You should check it out*

You live in the same city as me CAMBRIDGE
What is the songs name that you use in this video
How long does one charge last for the atomic with non stop use ? 30 min? 1 hr? More?
Question to anyone who knows about RC boats: If you add more fins to a propeller wouldn’t the boat go faster because it’s more surface that it is pushing off the water? Just a random question
These boats look like so much fun! I am really liking the look of the Atomic ahaha
Yo Kev You Need To Try Out The Traxxas Spartan!

Awesome Kev 👏!
What's your opinion on the atomic? I just ordered one and I would like to know your thoughts
When I heard the lid came off... I thought you were about to go for a swim.. LoL
Hi Kev what do you guys think on the Traxxas tr4 sport as a beginner crawler ?
Look up the zeros twin, it’s expensive but super fast you’ll like that one
You should bring out the udr
Fantastic boyz!!
If your going to charge with batt in take out once wrap it in a cut up pop can you can solder a heat senk to it then an not worry
You should do a unboxing video on the traxxas Ford Raptor fox edition
What happened to the monster truck
I know u like traxxas stuff Kev... Did u know they speed boats too??? Interesting stuff and a lot of fun. Keep the vids coming dude!!!
Enjoying the boats kev .!!!! 👍👍
What happened after the second boat was made. Drag race. Less moving parts with boats, less maintenance, less carnage. Generally if the boat doesn’t catch fire or sink it will come back and run again . Have fun bud
I want to play 👏🏻

Kevin Talbot need a bigger wish list!
Time to flood the skate park 😂😂😂
If you like that boat you should check out a feilun ft11 solid cheap boat!
Top channel kev , loved the videos but I cant help but feel that the 50000 rpm ripper motor would work well in this, well maybe 😂👍.
make the boat 8s
They look a lot of fun, I saw one of the bigger one being used on snow it was just as fast.
the one in description is only boat..without anything ???
What's the song called in the very very beginning of this video
Awesome video! Definitely makes me want a rc boat! I might just have to get one lol keep it kev and pat always love your videos!
