Congrats on your new boat! Looking forward to see what you can push it to with the stock electronics 🥳 Run it as is, new shafts, new connectors, reinforce whatever, and you will have an awesome time.
😊👍 congratulations a very stable boat.I fitted hatch screws before I ran mine so don't need tape also ran doorway seal foam tape screws down on it.120A Seakings beware
@@stevesballisticrc8770 I tried the 120A ESC in the stock genesis 3674 2075kv motor on 6s it went really well then cut then the wires were fried but ESC and motor werent fried,I sold my 120A seakings before testing,ask secret squirrel he will advice you,they may e okay for drag runs but for constant thrashing I'd not 😊
@@paulcooper7162 Ok you are the second person to warn me about the 120A Seaking. I guest I'll change them out for the 180a Seaking. Thanks for the heads up.👍
Hi! Will you try these factory ESCs and motors before fitting the seaking180 and leopard motors? Seaking120 often burns at 6s lipo. I saw a video where an ESC ignition exploded the hull of the zonda.
Hey Maxx! Thanks for watching! My plan was to try the 120 first. But now after you tell me this I'm not sure... My setup should be conservative enough that I shouldn't have a problem. Thanks for the heads up. I will have to keep an eye on them and hope that this doesn't happen to me...
Where did you get the fulll boat with included rudder and props ? Or did you have to order seperate ? Everywhere i look the boat isnt included with the rudder etc.
Hey Trey! This is my second TFL rc boat they usually come ARTR wich is almost ready to run or just the hull with no hardware or electronics. They put the rudder and the props in the parts bag so they don't get damaged during shipping. I had my zonda shipped from Banggood in China.
@@stevesballisticrc8770 i just ordered one from AliExpress. Bangood was not working with my card and i gave up tryimg to pay in every way they had. The seller seemed legit so Hopefully its the same as your box came. All the info matched and it looks promising. Happy Boating mate ! Cheers !
Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub. She is running good!! Unfortunately I haven't had much run time with it I've had a busy summer. Early this season I flipped it and bent the rudder and it took me a while to get a new one then I broke my battery straps. I would say the first things I would upgrade set of Propellers is a must then I would say one piece flex shaft then dual pickup rudder. When you get your boat I would reinforce the sponsons where it curves up at the front. It's a fun boat good luck with it.
What site did you order it from? What all was required? What all does it come with? I’m confused on what it comes with them. Trying to order one right now.

How’s she running after you’ve had it for a bit? Just bought one, anything I should order off the bat while I wait?

You running any BEC’s in your setup?
Yes both of the ESC's have BEC's so no extra battery involved.
@@stevesballisticrc8770 soldered in or jumpered?
@@paulnapoli9161 ESC's come that way
Absolutely not the fastest, oxidean is fastest
Cool send me the link for the video I would like to see it.
I think the fastest zonda with stock electronics is 124mph czcams.com/video/_uy6SKGSWeY/video.html
