Mach 1

Made by Krick

This kit came straight from Denmark, cost as much for shipping than it did for the boat, but I still have less than $100 in it, including the Radio.
I modified the standard 05 motor setup to a speed 700BB ($25) and an industrial 20 amp switch ($5), nothing but full on and off. 
Painted in iridescent yellow
This is the fastest boat I have right now, the only problem I had was when my battery hold downs (velco strips) failed when I side swiped a villain at the start of a race and the batteries slid forward causing the boat to turn and actually dive under water ripping the cowl off.
I will need to repaint it due to a boat running into it, the prop from the other boat cut swipes in the paint across the front, I will wait until next season, I have been told that the only way they have a chance to win is to hit me and hope they stay upright.

Update:
I am now running on 14 cells, pumping 16.8 volts to the motor, it is without a doubt the fastest boat in our club. The flat shaped hull can handle the weight and handles perfectly.

Faster than the new Traxxas EVX.
