Fei Lun FT011 video reviews
This model is really fast reaching 55km/h, yet stable in every condition. The control range is pretty solid, no sign of lost connexions within a radius of 120m. When the transmitter is turn off, the boat cuts the throttle immediatly and if you turn on it again, the pairing is done immediatly.
The FT011 don’t introduce important water leaks that a good news but be aware, after usage all ESC, motors, LIPO and the rigid shaft are getting warm (around 35-40 deg Celscius).
The FT011 have a lot of potential for future moddings. You can of course install a larger brushless motor and swap the prop to a more efficient model. Be sure to check carefully the solidity of the rigid shaft and grease regulary.
