3 Jet Boats take on the Elbow Falls River Scale Town - RC CWR

StreamLine Thrasher, ProBoat River Jet Boat and NQD Tear Into hitting the Elbow River rapids. I was asked by a few people to do a comparison video of the 3 jet boats. But its sorta like comparing a go-cart, a smart car and a 1970s muscle car. But I will tell you my own personal thoughts on each boat and what it would be good for and not so good (I am no expert but the video will speech lots for me). The Tear Into is a great little creek boat that is great for super shallow and fairly slow moving creeks. My setup does not have enough wheel speed for a faster current and is to small and light for bigger rapids. For a toy grade boat with some mods, it a great starter. The ProBoat River Jet is great looking boat and goes like a dart. We had 2 ProBoats out and both of us were running 3S (on 4S I find it is out of control, 3S was even hard to handle). The bigger rapids would turn the boat and shoot you off to the side or turn you around. Making it very hard to get the lines to power through the bigger stuff, you have to be lined up perfectly. In the rougher water you got flipped over pretty easy. Most of the footage is of Aaron's boat, mine had a hard landing cracked and broke the back corner of the hull. I would avoid the big rapids and go for a smoother river or a lake would be a lot more fun and easier. On 4S on flat water, this thing would go like crazy with deep V design (next time I'll get them all out on a lake too). The self righting feature of the boat was not so good, maybe I needed to run 4S to get it to work right but then I couldn't drive it with any control. We did get it to work half the time roughly tho (but it only takes once to loose the boat, that is why I went for a swim LOL). Now the Thrasher, this boat was built and designed for this kind of river bashing. Running 6S, the size and weight of the boat is perfect for the faster rougher water. With the Sponson Fin design and placement, in the fast white waters of the river, it holds the lines and is very easy to control. You can actually slow crawl the rapid and feel like you don't have to shoot the line at full throttle. The jumping spot we were at was pretty shallow with maybe 6-8 inches of water rolling of the granite rock, creating some awesome swells. But when jumping the rocky rapids it makes for some hard landing. The hull of the thrasher is strong, WOW, it took some hard hits and only got a few scratches. With the stainless steal jet protecter on there, I felt a lot more confident in pushing what the boat could do. Even after landing straight down on the jet drive, after being shot out of a rapid and getting some air. All it took was a little trail fix and I was back in action. The last half of the video was shot on the trail fix. With plenty of wheel speed on this guy it made a lot of lines look easy. The self righting for the first couple of times is a little tense. I just wasn't totally sure if it would work but it did. It takes a little time to flip over but it will self right every time (once you see it work a few times, you get confident that it will self right every time, which is an AWESOME feature in rougher water). The Thrasher is a lot of fun to drive and I'm impressed every time I take it out.

So in short, the Tear Into is great for a small creek boat. The ProBoat is a flat smooth water speed boat. The Thrasher is a great fast rough water, river bashing boat. The prices of the boats, well you get what you pay for I guess. If you try all 3 boats you would definitely have to say there is one that really stands out. Thanks for watching and enjoy, Cheers.
