Thanks Hinrich was a relief to get it without extra charges from the government,they started adding 15% tax on the 1st December..Its very thin plastic,very lightweight..I have a 45mm 1.9p prop for it and a 4s panther lipo and a HK200B for it..can feel this boat won't cope with 6s Lipo..

Hi Paul just subscribed is this a good beginner boat ? I did order a FT011 but Banggood just refunded my dodgy seller 🤦🏻♂️ or do I go UDI arrow or sonic wake obviously I want the best fast handling strong boat that can handle 6s Thanks love the content 👍🏻

Hi😊 The best fast handling boat is a TFL Pursuit .The Vector SR80 Pro is a good beginner boat but alot better than FT011 as the Vector can be upgraded to go alot faster but the upper hull can crack when upgraded to 6s

@@paulcooper7162 i have been made aware that the only difference between the sr80 and the sr80 pro is the metals on the rear. Is this the case? Appreciate your input mate. If the above is true then getting the pro or the normal won't make much difference anyway as its better the change the rear components for better performance anyway. Find it hard to see how the aluminium alone creates a 10kph difference though 🤔.
