Awesome!

Does it fit the bill for P-Spec? Could the 2030 UL-1 motor be a drop in upgrade?

I'd like to get a P-Spec RWYB class going around here, and this looks like it would be a great RTR option.

 

[obrien]

I would say that it would fit in a p-spec class like LSO. I would probably keep that motor in it instead of putting the ul1 motor in.

hmm I wonder who named that one mmmmm :unsure:

I just hope it's decals! Gotta be able to peel those hideous graphics off, All it's missing is a topless shot of Pam Anderson across the deck! Nice hull but gotta be the tackiest looking thing on the water! What's with the ninja turtle headband wrapped around the cockpit?!?!.

I'd own one in a second just not with those graphics!

I read a press release about the full sized team, it was named after the s***ty band from the 80's, they wanted something recognizable! The changed it from motley crue to Motley Crew to avoid copyright probs. I'd rather be seen with the Boy George model! He wore less make up and hair spray!

 

[Jeremy Linney]

To each his own I guess. I like the boat and as far as the band goes, one of the best drummers of all time.

What's the matter, you never tried "Smokin'n in the Boys Room"!!!??? :lol: Just Kidding. I think it looks pretty good! Different Strokes for Differet Folks I guess.

The boat was not named for a hair band! Note the different spelling - it was named for a full-scale offshore race team: http://www.motleycrewracing.com/

I tested a prototype about a year ago, and this is a good running cat. Fun to drive and fast with the 1800 Kv motor. With just a prop change I gained 10 mph over the stock prop, getting into the high-40s.

Jay is right, Thanks J for all your help with the project.

I also have to thank

Michael Ball

AquaCraft and our great customers for making it possible.

The inspiration for the boat is the Skater 368 its based on. I really was not interested in designing around "another" P1 style hull (YUK).. BUT rather the Muscle Car of off shore racing, a P2.

I have had my just short of 50mph on the stock electronics with just a prop change and some hardware tweaking. My hopes for the boat are to help open up more spec racing across the country.

Anyway..

ROCK AND ROLL!

Looks like a neat boat. I like the look of those cats.

I saw the two side by side this past weekend. I have no idea what props each were using but both racers told me everything else was stock. The Geico had speed on the Motley Crew but couldn't handle the chop or turn as well. Now the Geico seemed to be set up loose so that could account for the speed and lack of handling. If I were to buy one based on what I saw for three heats of racing it would be the Motley Crew. The motley crew won each heat against the Geico.

This was my observation based on other people running and trimming there boats and I was the CD for this class. Other than that I am a Nitro guy and couldn't answer a question about set-up.

Love the color on the Geico.

It's a very limited comparison
