The NTN-600 very fast and perfectly finished V-Hull racing boat comes with a powerful 2881kv watercooled brushless motor and hardware. All hardware is included and is well machined, finished in a bead-blast and anodized to prevent corrosion. You will need a 4,000mAh 3S or greater to power this boat to full speed.

i wouldnt reconmend 6s as it has a 2881kv motor
and 6s is 22.2v x 2881 is 63958 rpm i think u will find the motor wont like that. might last a second if your lucky. but it should take 4s with out over doing the rpm
I have purchased the NTN 600 boat but I have problem with the CG. Can you please provide photos with the configuration and battery location? I have tried to move the batteries at the back right hand side but the problem has not been solved.
The prop wasnt at a down angle, at a lvl or even up angle you still get it wanting to nosedive. The nosedive effect is less but the boat is alot slower due to so much prop being out of the water.
This is a VERY BADLY designed hull. It would work better if it had no steps in the hull.
received this boat with the esc and prop nut missing, made a claim on the 8th of june, still waiting for management to get back to me and its the 16th of june, anyone know how long this usually takes? very keen to test this boat but can't.
then why does the catalogue and management state that it does come with one? why would they let me go through the warranty process and tell me they are sending me one when they have stock if thats not true? also if you got the catalogue with your order its in there, exact same plug 'n' drive boat that clearly states an esc is included
Dont believe what you read in that Catalogue. If you look on the front page at the fox glider.
as seen here: Fox EPO Glider 2.32M (91.4in) Plug-n-Fly (v2) www.link ad gives 2 different wing lengths in the same ad,one measurement being more than twice the other.
you can balance the boat by using self adhesive lead weight. It needs to balance just behing the step and have the weight offest to the left to counteract torque.
the flex will come out of the motor end - it has a square drive on the outboard end. To remove the stubshaft you have to remove the rear end of the drive and pull it out the front of it.
sounds like it has coroded in the coupling slightly. Try some freeing agent - e.g. wd40. you may be able to wind it out - just make sure you only apply pressure so that the wind on the shaft tightens up.
Step - no there is a step in the underside of the boat just rearward of the motor. Front of the cowl. That is what I referred to.
i have a 26.5" boat and i am averaging around 35 to 40 mph on 2s lipo. it is custom setup. but my boat and this one are about the same size. the only way to find out how it runs is get a few different size props and try them out. start with more pitch less diameter. the trow a aquacraft grim racer 3 blade on there and open her up.
1) Tested yesterday with 4S , no problem for esc !
2) This boat is very nice but the difficulty comes from equilibrate the boat because the place of the battery pack is in front of the motor ... and with a 3S - 4000 mah as preconised, the boat is too heavy of the front ! Take care when choosing battery pack !
Well ... 4S it will work ... but not for a long time : it has burned !
I change my opinion : DON'T RUN IN 4S ...
Boat is fine but you will have to change implantation of components ... **> Not really plug and play ... !
Well the right place in my opinion is the at the place of the esc and the servo. That's mean you will have to place esc and servo to the other side ...
Other idea is to change the prop to a reverse one : so you could place the battery pack to the other side of esc and servo. (of course you will have to reverse the rotation of the motor by permuting 2 of the 3 wire between esc and motor)
Forward only. SOme others have reverse but not working too well in racing boats, it sinks them. 2.4 from plane can work with limited range. If it is spectrum you can buy surface marine receiver that will bind to the radio and work well.
2.4G seems to shadow over water, so you will see surface receivers having much longer antennas compare to their plane counter-parts.
I've used hobby king plane radio on the boat and it was good but it also has a long antenna (about 10cm). Take you plane and taxi it, see how long of a range will you get, should be about 75% of that on the water.
The water kinda absorbs the Signal. Because it really doesn't reflect it. thats why 72/75Mhz works great on land/water. If you use a park 2.4Ghz RX you will probably lose signal pretty quick. Make sure to use a full range 2.4ghz
It depends . . . have you tried running Fast Electric (FE) boats? I know of guys who have tried (and good at) almost everything RC and ended up content with running boats (electric and gas/nitro powered).
yes they are. boats, cars, and planes are all based on setup. how you want to run depends on what you do. bashing or racing setting it up is half the fun
No the intake is on the hull bottom closer to the transom. You can see a little black mark there and the rubber tubing goes all the way around. You can see the tubing on the top left inside.
the pick up tube is on the bottom of the hull on the foot print or beam of the boat

1 thumbs up!
Buena lancha, precio normal. Es muy tcnica y algo compleja de ajustar, como viene de serie no navega bin, requiere bastante ajuste de pesos y modificar la posicin de batera, el capatador de refrigeracin, ngulo de helice y timn. Una vez bin ajustada navega decente, un peln escasa de motor, pero es una pasada como se agarra en el agua. Ha costado un poco de trabajo centrar bin todo, pero ahora va genial !!!!!!

Hi. I have no runed this boat a few times. As some other says, the 50a esc fail after 5 minutes of 11,1v run. I have no switch it with a Turnigy marine 60A. I have not nailed it in yet, so its wery unstabel i high speed. I have plans of laying som lead sheets in the bottom in back of the boat. It is plowing to mutch, so some weight in the back is nesesary. The prop is blunt, so I'm going to switsh it with a balansed prop from grimracer.

Received boat, put 2 two cell packs in and after 2 minutes flames came out of the boat due to the poor esc soldering internally. replied to hobbyking about the bad esc which ruined my day with friends and also stated that i have pictures of the burned esc and there reply was for me to ship the item back as if it was my fault the connections were bad after 2 minutes.

The only thing this boat is quality finish, the rest is crap, poor stability, recommended battery is too heavy for the size of the vessel at high speed it tends to sink, too much water enters the telescope despite spending grease regularly , already burned two servants to enter the water. I do not recommend buying this product hobbyking because no one plays good fun. To give you an idea of how bad the boat, the telescope it is on a slope below the float level of the boat, which facilitates the entry of water through the telescope.
