Great boat but the back end is very weak with the adjustable trim tabs. Mine were broken off within two batteries and I barely touched any rocks. the corner of the skid plate is broken off at the back as well. I think they should have just made different angle trim tabs that could be swapped out and screwed right to the bottom of the boat or clipped in somehow. I am going to make something better than the extremely delicate trim tabs that are (were) on there now. other than that it is really fun and easy to use. I really like the battery hold down system the use that clips right in. Makes it quick and easy to change.

Oddly other than saying that it's licensed they don't really talk much about the full size counterpart on the proboat page. I didn't really dig into it because the minutia of the licensed vehicle really wasn't that relevant to the video on the RC boat. Thanks for the additional info!

I don't think it's designed to be fast. This is designed to be tough more than anything else. Looking at the river jet that appears to be more of a standard style boat. I really think this is designed to be a basher above anything else. Personally I think that's awesome because it's kind of an underserved part of the segment. I know there are a couple of really expensive bashing boat options out there but they're probably above what most people can afford.
