i had to go through three of them.. went fast and great forward... but would go underwater when you went into reverse lol.. interesting hull too being all Styrofoam.

Hey man i have a question, i have a nikko plastic boat with and electric motor, can i change the motor with a gas one, how much do you think it would be?

[FailedSquare]

lol i remember i got one of these for my birthday back in 96 i think, cost around 120 brand new back then.

I need a new motor and battery for mine though. Cool note: if it gets out of radio range it stops and then pulses the motor in a left hand turn until it hits something or gets back in radio range. saved me a few times back in the day lol.
