Dragon P Spec Tunnel Hull Impressions

[Jeffmaturo]

I have received several PM's regarding my thoughts on the Dragon designed and manufactured by Kris Flynn. I had a poor showing at the OB Worlds in South Carolina because I had ZERO time with the boat before the race. The first time it was on the water was basically my first heat. I had electronic trouble and pulled the boat from the competition.

The boat was assembled by Kris himself and it is truly a work of art. The fit and finish of the wood and the epoxy are second to none. Most of the kits he sells I believe are just that, KITS. I asked him to do a favor for me and send it all ready to go. He did just that and I was very impressed. I will have more time on the hull soon and look forward to getting it in another race. To date I am very happy with the boat and think I have the bugs fixed with the ESC and radio.

The boat enters and exits the corners well, allows me to apply full throttle in the turns and is surprisingly stable in the straight aways. Hoping to see it in the winners circle soon.

YES, I do recommend this boat.

I should have my nitro dragon wet next week for our club's dist. race, Jeff. Sanding & sealing now. Even though they're fe vs nitro, I'm looking toward to comparing notes with you. I agree, Kris's build quality & the kits are second to none. Mine went together easily, with great support & info from Kris! What lower are you using, OS?

Hi,

Yes I am using the OS lower, he actually included it with my boat! Keep us posted on how it goes. Good luck!

Hey Jeff,

It was a shame I could not supply the boat RTR (as in didnt have the parts you were goin to run) with the build, since i tested it and all with my parts then had to pull it apart anyway!

Please do keep me informed with your results after some testing.

Cheers

Kris
