Super Hawaii - A deep V stepped hull offshore racer.  Very easy to build and modify.   This boat is totally sealed against leakage and can be used in salt water.   Speed is good in stock form when using 7 cell battery packs.  Modified, this boat is quite fast but still stable.  Gearbox needs attention to correct design flaws.

TRAXXAS Boats

Villian IV - This is a good entry level or second boat in that it is built solid and has some interesting features.  It's performance is limited somewhat due to the weight of the hull.

 

 

Length: 31"

Beam: 8.25"

Drive: Geared dual motor/dual counter rotating out drives

Scale:

Blast - This is a good beginner boat, like most of Traxxas products, it is built solid.  It may be a bit limited in performance but is decently fast out of the box.  This boat is small enough to be used in a pool if you keep the speed down but is best in a small lake.

 

 

Length: 23.75"

Beam: 5.75"

Drive: Single direct drive prop
