Parker's Proboat Mini V

[Double-O-Zilch]

Well, it's not other car or truck, sorry. I picked up this Proboat Mini V pretty cheap at the LHS. After seeing all the mods people do to them I was sold. It never even touched the water stock so I don't know what kind of improvements I made. I beleive the stock electronics were bad anyway as it wouldn't run longer than 45 secs. I used a LRP Quantum Pro speed control, a micro Futaba RX, and a High Tec HS-56HB feather light servo. I also used a wing from an AE 18R Nightline body and Deans connectors all around. All parts I had laying around! Since I had it close, I used some 20,000wt diff fluid to lube the rubber seal for the servo rod and the universal joints, this helped alot. Enjoy.

I had to do it!

You beat me too it. That's exactly what I was gonna say. Can we see a brushless and LiPo upgrade in the future??? Huh, I wonder...

Already been checking prices! I was thinking the same thing.

Here's a few vids to make you think.
