Just be like GOD MAKE IT WORK. I have done that before and it worked
I have the sr 80 pro and I have had no problems I run it off 2 2s 5200mah lipo batteries. I would love to see you guys revisit the sr 80 but I understand if you don’t I probably wouldn’t if I was in your position but mine has worked great for about a year since in got it
Can you please review the flytec v008 it's under $60 and a jet boat!
Send them to me and I will fix what ever one you want back
@@ryansickler9579 same , I am so gutted for them both! as I KNOW how much fun the vector is and they would LOVE it and I feel it would make the trouble br forgotten in one 40mph pass and associated rooster tail ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I know you both are bummed about the video but this is why we blue collar consumers love this channel so freaking much! Every RC I've purchased after watching a positive review from you guy's has been money and memories well spent! Bless you both and thanks so much for your reviews! Love this channel so incredibly much!
I say operator error. When you swapped the esc from the SR80 PRO you didn't check the motor rotation and you just put it in the water. Then when you pulled full trigger (to go forward) the motor was spinning in the wrong direction and all you had was reverse even though you were pulling the trigger to go forward. If you tried to reverse the throttle channel on the controller to reverse the throttle you still wouldn't have any throttle control because that esc has no reverse function. All you should have to do is swap one of the motor wires then you are good to go. BTW the SR80 (non pro version) is the best boat period under $175.00.
you are right. they really mean it. they did that on purpose.. they never gave any chance. thats why i said to him. its not reliable review right from the start..
Nate is Da' Man! Love you too Abbey.
Very entertaining too guys. Ty. Fun in the sun. Happy Father’s Day weekend Nate
I never tried using the stock receiver. I use a Dumbo rc controller. I like the SR80 Pro.
I still loved the video.... great job Saylors. Happy Father's Day Nate.
REALLY?! VOLANTEX again!! LOL!! Boat Week 1 lil yellow Volantex boat in the creek...remember?? THIS video MADE my week (so far)!! Thanks SOOOO much Saylors!! YOU FINALLY got your feet wet!! 😆😆😂😂 😎👍😘
Bummer but it is what it is. Anyway happy Father’s Day Nate.
Honestly guys, send it to me and I'll get em working proper no problem at all.. I'll do it on my chanel and dedicate it to you two and everything you've done inspiring people to go RC. It'd be fun! BTW I wanted to add, I can tell the frustration as you never hear the missus say she wants to smash something!
That looked painful Nate! I know that has to be frustrating. Thank you guys for standing out in the heat just to prove we shouldn’t waste our money on this boat. ⚓️
You have to switch two wires on the motor. And it will run in the right direction.
Please don’t consider it a waste of time and effort. You probably saved more than a few people a lot of money with this video. Thanks again
Really grateful for the honest reviews guys. Love the channel!!!!!!!!
A dud...lemons...bleh
See why we NEED the RCSaylors.
We luv this channel👍👍
Hahahahaha bext time you have to vring the recovery boat
Your reviews are the only ones I trust I am waiting on getting my udi arrow which will be here in a couple days I can't wait your honest and fun reviews have never let me down stay true to what your doing you guys are super fun to watch and I enjoy seeing Abby progress in rc to where she is now
My Vector sr80 pro came completely ready to run.
I use sealing tape on all my boats, it's a must.
The black paint on the sr80 cabin comes off when you remove the tape and I lost a whole flex drive.
I managed to find replacement drive and propulsion gear, so I bought 3 sets.
Take the flex drive out of the motor clamp and open up the slots with either a dremmel or hacksaw.
I have had no other issues since and find it turns heads..
I would be so mad if that happened to me
That green one looked pretty cool too! Hopefully companies will see stuff like this and make improvements and not disregard the input.
Horrible boats, good video. You telling the truth about all the models you test is what makes your videos worth watching. Keep up the good work, the companies who are proud of their products and stand behind them should be flocking to your channel...
Ugh. In the 5 years I've been subscribed to your channel, you are very honest people & dont hide anything like some others would do. Thank you for all you do for the RC community. Excellent video Nate & Abby!! 😊⚓⚓
You know the passengers and crew of the SS Minnow can relate.
I just bought the one you recommended. It is my first RC boat. I can't wait to go run it at the lake with my family. Thanks for all your wonderful content. Keep up the amazing work. God Bless
maybe the wires were in the wrong locations.
The way nathan felt about the boats is how i felt yesterday when i went to go crawling and i lost half a drive shaft, just irritated at it
EX Hobby (Volantex) are you watching?! My SR80pro came with a small crack in the top of the hull near the hatch. My SR65 is fine though.
Lol. It didn’t pass the water test lol.
The Vector SR80 pro is Awesome and fast trust me i own one !!!
Same I have had no problems it runs great
Have you tried 6s in yours
No issues with mine either, can they run 6s stock or do u need to upgrade ESC ?
@@natel5370 you need to upgrade the esc or else the system will melt
1. Nothing wrong with the esc, just shift two cables on the motor and it'll go forward.
2. Are you sure it has reverse? It's a race boat, no need for reverse.
my sr80p doesn,t have reverse
@@grrfy I don't think it could, even if it had. That prop ain't made for reversing. 😁
how odd my sr80 pro was assembled (just about) all I had to do was check the prop?Is the prop on the green one backwards? as far as I am aware they dont have reverse ?
I would say even though the sr80 and pro are labelled ready to run , the standard version is defo MORE ready to run than the pro
this goes to show you should ALWAYS have the Titanic on standby rescue duty! Lovin' the boat weeks!
Still a good video guys. Just think how many people you saved from buying that junk wasting their money.
Not receiver issiue, Esc not calibrated corectly. Also if the cover is cracked, both covers on green and yellow are identical and can be swapped
Thank you for letting us know about these crappy boats
There are hundreds of videos about the SR85 and the SR80pro that work brilliantly !
It's really unfortunate they send you 2 duds...
Happy Fathers Day Nate! Would you in the future consider doing another review with the UMX Citation Longitude 30mm Brushless EDF using the new smart batteries sold with this plane from E-flite on the Horizon Hobby website.
Sorry it didn't work, I know thats frustrating. I enjoy what you guys do though, I used your videos to purchase my first boat ,now I'm looking at crawlers
Ordered my SR80 PRO in March, while I didn't have to drill my rudder... the motor did run backwards. If you take any 2 of the 3 motor wires of a 3 phase sensor less motor of which this is, it will go the other way 1 probablem solved, it really is a great boat 🚢 just needs better quality control! Going to be very disappointing for alot of people without some fixes. Hope this helps
Good to see there is a channel that shows the truth about rc vehicles.
Oh no😱
I love your videos
Good on you guys for showing us this. Saved a lot of people a big headache for sure
Thank You for this video... Thanks for being upfront and honest and Transparent when other youtubers aren't...!!!
At 1st, I thought that you took lemons and, with frustratingly hard work, made lemonade - boy was I WRONG!!! You guys win the prize for perseverance in crappy circumstances!🏆 Most people would have just given up! You did get an amazing video out of this nastiness, however! I love the way you guys can laugh at adversity in the face & still get the job done! JP ♥️
Thanks so much!!
@@TheRcSaylors You are WELCOME, so much!
WOW.... That was painful to watch. Just switch any 2 motor wires and the motor will run the other direction.
But it still wouldn't run in the other direction. But I guess you should check the prop direction before you throw the boat in the water.
Awesome job guys! Sorry for the troubles
Looks like you guys got some lemons because my sr80 pro is great, and taking massive beatings. Im running it on 6s with a few mods. Hatch tape is a must if you dont want it to fill up with water and always self right, i found that battery and esc placement is crucial for the self righting feature
Your correct first rule I was taught in my RC Boat club was no mater if it has a seal or not you always tape seal your boats. Love the channel. Test on the bank, or at least, near the bank while holding it to see which way the motor turns. He replaced all the electronics - he had no way of knowing what order he connected the motor leads, so no idea what direction it was going to turn lesson learned. But to keep the water out again PLEASE RC SAYLORS TAPE YOUR BOATS BEFORE YOU PUT IN THE WATER. Great video hope you continue to do boat weeks wife and I love boats and your show.
So.. Change two of the cables around and try the green one again. Then put the receiver and ESC you took out of the green boat and put that in the orange boat. Take the rudder bracket to a local machine shop, or car repair shop and ask them nicely if they can help you drill the two missing holes. Put it together and run it.
poor guys had really bad luck. wife has the Sr80 and it's a great boat. never had any problems at all. It's as good as our expensive boats. handles like a dream and runs about 45 mph. wife even crashed it few times. Looks like you got a very bad batch and just bad luck. It's a shame because you would love the SR80 pro.
I have the volantex sr 80 pro and I’ve had no issues it runs great and I’ve had no range issues and I have driven it over 100 yards away. Running 2 2s 5200mah batteries I got 47.8 mph out of it. It’s a shame yours came messed up hopefully you guys revisit this later on, love the videos keep up the great work !
It would be nice to see another video once you get it fully sorted out.
Oh dear, good you shown this, saves people money 👍🏻
Don't ever back up unless you are close..
Thanks for the honest review! And saving one of us a small fortune
Glad to do it Adam, as frustrating as this was. Biggest boat duds I've ever seen!
@@TheRcSaylors sad that a company would release such crap!
OOOOHHHHMMMMMMGGGGGGG what the heck is this boat guys!!???!! I've been having the worst couple of month due to loss of employment due to covid until i saw this.. I couldn't stop laughing.. You guys made my day even though it was only for a day!! Thank you for making me smile again!!
THANK YOU GUYS!!!! Great content absolutely stellar.
You always seem to have problems with volantexboats. I bought a volantax racent atomic and a volantex sr80. Both are awesome. They had no problem binding and the "problem" you had with the rudderhole, I did not have. Strange that your boat misses a hole and all other buyers on the net didn't. Biassed?? The boats are far less expensive then the proboats, that you always advise and other people never seem to have problems with binding or other problems. On volantex, first connect the battery, then within six seconds turn on the transmitter, like it says in the manual. Never had problems. And both the sr80 and the racent atomic are awesome boats. Fast, good electronics, easy to update.
I have the volantex Vector SR85 and I like it. Tape the top and it will go 78 kmh
@Marcel Schuller tape
@Marcel Schuller ok
I call that "cheese" as in Swiss 🧀 cheese. Its full of holes.
swap the wires on the motor
Thanks for sharing the the bad with the good. Keeps it real. Swapping two motor leads should reverse the motor since I doubt it's sensored, but who wants to fight to make junk sort of work when there are better options?
Please can you make the Next boat you review on the black jack 24
Thanks for the video!! It's great to know what is worth buying and what isn't.
Guess they better stick with airplanes?
I have the volantex atomic boat. I had to plug the battery into the boat BEFORE turning on the radio. When i tried turning on the radio first. Boat went full throttle just like in this video.
yep it says that in the manual also
Hey, Nate and Abby really appreciate all your videos and time. I have really learned a lot from watching. Really sorry to see how much trouble you have had with these boats. I have an SR80 pro and it has been flawless. I am using mine in salt water and I would describe it as very capable and reliable. I have only seen the sr85 on other video reviews and seems to perform well. The only big issue is the time needed for the self righting to function. One YTer solved it by drilling some extra holes to let the air out that gets trapped in the flood chamber at the nose of the boat. The result was self righting in half the time. As for your boat running in reverse it may have been simple case of the motor wires needing reversing by unplugging any two of the three bullet connectors and reconnecting swapped into each other's spot. Hope things get better, it is very frustrating when this stuff happens.
Just went I though it made no sense. You both got it. I swear you both have a major mojo. Love this channel. Make some noise for this channel.
I love honest reviews, what is this, third boat week? This is awesome. That heli video you did about two weeks ago was awesome, can we see a full heli week?
Great video and you guys are saving someone from being disappointed in those cheap boats that look awesome 👍❤️
An I love the launch.lololol
..the launch did the damage.
Oh man , that a bummer , I always cut a small couple inch pool noodle and pop it in any boat I get , If its self righting goes on lift side. Thanks for another good vid .
Love it lol
I have this boat and i have no problems with it
Dude 3:20 i saw the cooling hose move when you powered it up im like oh thats no good lol
Insanely crazy! I can’t believe you had that kind of trouble.
The ft11 is the only boat I have and its so good I doubt I'll need another.
That's a great boat. I chrome painted my 'windshield' looks great! Does seem to have a short battery time though.
My ft11 has been converted to s4 power, to say it's fast is an understatement....
I bought the volantex ranger 400 and mine came with kamikaze mode enabled. It was the strangest plane ever. I installed landing gear on it so it would take off from the ground then hold flight for 5 seconds then that mode kicks in and it would slam into the ground... volantex engineers have to learn from xk and Wltoys...
Never have those problems with my drone fleet! Just sayin... 😎
That would make a good project boat but not at that price. 😳 I don’t think it would take too much to fix it up. Thanks for the review.
Have a great day and be safe out there!
A lot of people hating on your reviews of this bucket. I have the SR80 PRO and it too is junk !!! Great job Sailors for showing what you get. If you have haters then you're doing a great job
Thanks for your time , I hope you guys get Your money back 😞
God bless
“ Submarine Week “ is exactly what I been waiting for.
Some boats need to have water proof tape such as hocky tape applied to rhe cabin where it meets the hull. I do this with a few boats i have and it works great, happy sailing , john j
MY VERSION CAME READY TO GO AND IS A ROCKET FROM HELL.
I could use them or just one. I have electronics. Me and my son would get great use with it. Plus time spent together fixing it would be great.
I can't remember. Did we send you guys something in the past? I feel like we did?? Or meant to??
@@TheRcSaylors I was going to fix the Arma buggy. I would still love to fix/restore it.
Thank you for showing all that you showed lets us know what is real and what is not I appreciate you guys putting in the work to make an attempt to make one of them work I know now what to stay away from you guys do awesome videos and have been watching you for years keep up the awesome work
Wow,that is a big bummer
wow. That might possibly the worst boat you've ever had on your shows
BEST VIDEO EVER!!!
Maybe they can use this as their promo video
i agree sir, maybe paid by udirc.
Hello rc saylors excellent video!! I'm very sorry for what happened with the boats I've seen videos of those boats but I think that that ones you got were defective. Which boat lternative you are recommending in the video you said is a link to it but I can't find it
Well look at the bright side you didn't have to swim after it 😂
Gotta show the bad ones too! Sorry these were so sucky. Volantex is usually a lot better at producing decent RC stuff.
They're not bad, except for the missing holes in the rudder bracket on the orange boat. The rest is operator error.
Everywhere I looked I found bad reviews on the Jet Jam revolving around water ingress and failing electronics but this doesn 't get mentioned on this channel. I do like The Saylors but this does seem to be overlooked.
Take a piece of plumbers foam, for covering pipes. Get some, install it be, happppppyyyy
Well I bought one of those green boats the Self anti-roll didn't work at all sank it half way down so I took some old quartz from wine bottles and place them in the holes in the back of the boat epoxy them in and it runs just fine no issues getting speeds of 48-51mph on 4s did a little mod work to it nm just small stuff and now it is my rescue boat for my pro boat veles 29 happy I got one that works for $220 I happy with it
I thought so as well . . When I first looked at the boat and seen those two holes at the bottom of the boat I said to myself how the hell is this boat going to stay afloat with the holes at the bottom of it when water is going to get in in sink the boat ? I didnt understand how that was work . .
Where is the recovery boat?
o̲̅h̲̅h̲̅h̲̅h̲̅h̲̅h̲̅ s̲̅h̲̅i̲̅t̲̅t̲̅ h̲̅e̲̅y̲̅!! 😂😂😂😂
Late squad today and loving boat 🚣♀️ week 😎😎😎😎⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Take a youtube search on other reviews, or google it's rating by other users.It's one of the most sold RTR boat here in Europe! just look at CAPTAIN DRONES youtube review about it.Maybe you change your mind.I have searched for bad reviews, but the only one i can find is this one.It has good reviews on Amazon,BG,Aliexpress,rcgroups and youtube.When you try a new rc model, you should always check that all things works before you start using it.A hobby shop in Norway sells it with 90a ESC and run it on 6s.speed is over 60mph 😊
This is just our experience with this boat. Not saying others are wrong, but we are going to stay honest and true as with everything on our channel. It’s funny sort of: if it seems like we are only saying good things about a product, people get mad and say we are “sell outs” and just pushing a product for a company. When we show an experience like this, people still get upset!
It looks like you got your volantex boats from another boat manufacturer who messed with them, before sending them to you. All over the world people love the racent atomic and vector sr80 and 85. Looks not to be an honest review to me. 7:36 7:36
Hi Nate. Please say Hi to Abbey. Love you both and your channel.
Could you please re review the Volantex SR85. Reason being, most CZcamsrs who reviewed the SR80 Pro have it a thumbs up as a great boat.
I feel my Volantex SR65 has had no issues whatsoever for its price and that has good reviews on CZcams aswell.
I just feel because my mum has bought me the SR85 Catamaran as a gift for me. Not many other CZcamsrs have reviewed it.
There are reviews though and none mentioned any issues as bad as what you experienced with the two boats.
I feel I will really need to double check on some first prep and maintenance procedures from Nik Johnston's CML Distribution video of the boat.
Anyway lots of reviews of the SR65 and SR80 and SR80 Pro from lots of CZcamsrs so Volantex must be doing a good job now with most of their bigger boats.
I feel your review as bad experience might have put a black mark on not many people splashing out for one and was kind of hoping you might re review it and give the company and the boat the benefit of the doubt. Please.
I'm from the UK and I have a boat club at the top of my road. Love your channel and some awesome boats.
My dream boat will be a Miss Geico when I'm a little more experienced in them. Please don't take my comment harsh or as a bad critic to yourself as we all have had bad experiences with many things.
