I like mine. Only had one trim tab issue that i caused. I did a permanent fix that still makes them adjustable. But you have to remember This is plastic. And you're sending a 7lb boat into a rock. Its going to happen. These weren't designed to take on crazy rapids. The back lid doesnt seal. What you see horizonhobby do in their videos is what its for. In the end its a toy. Ive had tons of boats and i think this one was worth it.

Thank you for honest input! I would wait for the next version I hope they will improve it

Sounds like a lot of valid observations, hopefully ProBoat will address these in an updated version of the boat…I’ll wait to see if improvements are made before I buy one…which I was ready to do until seeing this…thanks for the info…

So much water spots by were I live that I might have to get one next spring. Def look like a lot of fun.

Just took mine up to some awesome rivers in NH. Thing is so cool looking going up river. I did break one half of a trim tab so need to fix that but otherwise very cool! Oh and I hit a rock and it flipped and I had to chase it down river with no shoes. Getting some water shoes next lol. If they come out with another version that’s stronger I’m in for sure!

thanks for the review ill probably steer clear of this one.

You saved me some money thanks.

Good Review, I Almost Bought One.

I broke my trims tabs immediately. I am going to try to figure out something to make permanent fins on the bottom of the boat. I broke a corner of the back edge of the bash plate beside the trim tabs as well. Luckily I didn't damage my roll cage etc. If they could fix the issues with this boat it would be awesome. It is a ton of fun to drive but it just needs its issues fixed. Hopefully V2? I have to wonder if they even test drove these as mine broke the tabs immediately and I wouldn't even say I was bashing it.

I bought new Mojave than realized lhs had one of these , as fun cool as it is I’m not sure I want be first boat I try in salt water , canal in my yard . They have cheap gps you can put in the boat just in case goes down stream , rc driver used it

No change there then from the original Proboat jetboat that I bought, failed first time out after first run, before in fact, the roll cage detached taking out of the box, hull had pinholes on the transom allowing water ingress, sat it on the bank and the dam thing was starting the motor and it ran aratically with no input from the TX, battery tray detached itself on second run.. should never have been released to the public like that. Oh, it had never been dropped or hit on any rocks, only used on a lake with grass banks, two runs only ! The local dealer had his stranded upside down in the middle of a lake, self righting did not work even on 4S. I nearly dropped coin on one of these but fortunately, they are almost always out of stock here in the UK, just as well as parts are just the same. Streamline Thrasher is a far better option, for sure.

Some small Styrofoam tubes on each side of the roof may help when rolling over.....or something on the top???

Should’ve gone with the streamline thrasher they have it in two versions now

Yep there should be a LAW against making things out of CRAP PLASTIC so many things glasses,headphones etc... brake so easy when my water bottle that gets thrown away CANT BE DESTROYED guess what they KNOW THIS and it's made that way ON PURPOSE

if it was made out of xmaxx plastic it wouldn't float lol

Say umm one more time please

you are driving this boat to break it you are like kevin talbot its a boat not a jeep

maybe you forgat or even dont know wath rc hobby is I own more tan 70 models 20 years in the hobby cars planes submarines helicopeters an no one is perfec, I never expect a perfect model no in a kit or rr, sound very tragic, what a hell come they were children viewing!!!
