Hobby King Swamp Dawg Air Boat (ARR)

Is this motor okay to run on a 3s?

[hypothesies1]

Can you guys start making tutorials? Im extremely new to RC and would like to build this, but I have no clue what Im doing, or what Id need to do it, and dont understand any of the terminology you guys use. A professional tutorial would be nice. Also, does the boat handle high speed turns well?

[austin12sledge]

does this come with rechargeable batteries. p.s. please click on reply. dont just add another coment on this guys page. thank you

[JoeOvercoat]

Thanks for the review.** It would be interesting to see this boat side-by-side with the Aquacraft alternatives, especially in some swampy conditions. Some more details on the ESC would also be of interest.

**Need some brighter lighting, indoors and out.

How do you change batteries? it looks like you have to remove the servo plate!

[HobbykingLive]

@946HZJ the servo tray pulls up easy so you can slide the battery in and out. The cover piece and two lock down screws are what hold it all in place.

I'm not sure why but these vids always make me laugh

[tma450]

need to through a huge motor in and see what top speed u can get

[BashMonkeyRC]

would altogether changing up to a higher kv motor help up the speed a bit?

[sterby1]

@BashMonkeyRC Not likely. At least not by much. It needs to overcome a lot of drag, especially with flat bottom boats because these boats are skimming the water surface, not cutting into the water.

Need bigger prop... that motor is probably smoking hot running wide open.

[hpiguy]

This seems to move out better than it's Aquacraft twin that costs four times as much.

[acerkiwi]

haha pretty cool



[MinfangDuan]

i think balancing the prop will help in getting it faster

[my73737373]

What kv is the stock motor?

[HobbykingLive]

@my73737373 the stock motor is 2300kv. You can see the complete specs on the boat listed in the video information bar below the video.

Actually, the speed on 2S looked very scale like. Airboats, are not really 'boats' in the sense of your other speedboats. They are meant for gliding over weed infested swampy waters and everglades, and as such are not designed to be speedsters, but more to be torquey and able to move over high drag surfaces. I'm impressed with this little airboat, it looks pretty good!

[flyingphoenix113]

Remember, it's an AIRBOAT, not a JETBOAT!!! It's not supposed to be blazingly fast.

"It's pretty touchy on the steering." That's because it's an aircraft!
