Whether good buy or not depends on urself.

Seen it in action once. Not bad but the stock motor runs very hot. It is installed with twin 400size brushless motor. Other forums says to junk the motor and get those 540size brushless motor.

Stock form, should be able to run at 40mph.



P.S I'm building a twin powered Cat also. Got the power plant already. Waiting to get the hardware only. But got some other projects in the way also.

Actually, the hull is a copy of the H&M Agitator. Do a search and you will know.

I have the same boat but single drive.

The white one is already taken off from sale and is being converted to my twin drive. It is now an empty hull.

The black one is the exact same hull with the Jet Hobby one. I met Moh when he maiden it and brought mine along too. The hull is exactly the same except for the canopy. Hull + Hardware = S$200 firm, if with electronics is S$600.

They are different. Confirm + Chop + Stamp.


If they are the same, I am the first one to buy it from JH. Toysports is a far more superior hull and design.

Hi there, I owned this boat,
It runs on twin motor and counter rotation props, if you break the props, u can only get the plastic ones from JH. Last Sunday I just burned 1 of my 100amp ESC and 2x 2c 3300amp lipo, loss almost $400....

This is a fast boat capable of reaching 40-50mph, but if esc keep on burning (each cost almost $150), is not fun anymore....!!! Previously, I use 120amp hydra ESC for my UL-1 superior, after only 3 runs when the boats over taking almost the nitro boat, the esc suddenly burn till complete melt down, but the boat is OK, this esc cost almost $250...that's the price you pay for fast boat, money burn fast also.... No matter how much you know about EP, no guarantee lah....

When someone has no knowledge of electrics and dont read up, just jumped into it, sure to get their fingers burnt.
