I have a Pro Boat Mini-V EP RTR with a broken esc. I ran into a duck today and it flipped an capsized. I guess it was under long enough to mess up the esc because it only go backwards, left, and right now. Let me know if you have any RC parts for sale.

This just gives you a great excuse to go brushless. They are fairly cheap for 380 sized motors. Pick up some small lipos at the same time and you can actually have some fun with it unlike now with a top speed of 10mph.

They are not the high quality stuff, but if you are trying to keep costs down and still have fun, they will do the job just fine.

I thought this was about race committee boats

^^ thanks for the advice and all but I already have an Aquacraft UL-1. I'm not worried about the speed of my mini-v.

UL-1 are nice boats, just out of my price range right now. Since you have that, just sell me the mini-v as is

or... just call up some of the local hobby shops and see if they have a cheap used esc in stock. I know the last one I went to had a whole case of used parts for cheap.

Ended up hitting up Hanger 18 (I believe that is the name) in Cary. Pretty decent setup but no selection when it comes to boats.
