I used the emerald green to fade the lime green into the silver stripes, to make the green and blue stand apart more. Most boate come with an ESC which have a LVC (low Voltage cut off), which cut the power when the Lipo gets depleted. If you watch the 'boats in waves' video's, you'll notice there's not a lot of speed involved, running up a wave will throw back the boat at you no matter which speed you go.

I was disappointed to see the graphics on the boat weren't stickers, which would've been easily removed, but actually stencil-painted on before clear-coating the top, and the ones on the bottom silver hull wet-sanded out very easily. After the final clear-coating was done, and an hour and a half of careful wet-sanding, I finally finished the hull paint job, and I can get on with the reassembly. The transmitter is also equipped with a color touchscreen that provides real-time telemetry data, such as speed, battery voltage, and signal strength. The Traxxas Spartan also features a self-righting design, which makes it easy to recover if it flips over in the water.The green for the hull is a custom mix of lime pearl and some drops of emerald green pearl to make it a bit darker. I bought the SR48 first, then I bought two FT012s, thinking I'd swap out the electronics from one into the SR48 for giggles. So after going through pretty much every issue clear-coating you could imagine--dry spraying (not enough clear), fish-eyes (unexpected contamination of the clear resulting in spots), a few minor dust nibs (those were pretty easy, just wet-sand them out) and a few runs (clear went down too wet), I think I experienced and learned from every mistake you could make.

Out running some errands on my motorcycle I came across a yard sale a couple of blocks from my house.Its advanced features and high-speed performance make it a top choice for those who want to experience the best that RC boats have to offer.

The Aquacraft UL-1 Superior is one of the fastest RC boats available, offering unparalleled speed and control.

Feilun FT012 Upgrade High precision coupling and Overturning reset system-For the Internal motor-No Vibration, No Gap. An extra (third) AA Aqua battery will help to keep the young captains in the water more often than out.

I am (mostly) trying to decide between the Feilun FT009 or the brushless upgraded version, the FT012. Choose Aquacraft Motley Crew FE Catamaran or my next pick, the Traxxas DCB M41 Catamaran, if you want insane racing capability.It is a fast charger/discharger using high-tech and professional control software with a built-in high-performance microprocessor. As was pointed out previously in this thread, there is a lot of upgrade info on the FT012 in this forum and the fast electric forum here.
