HorizonHobby.com Pro Boat Shockwave 26 Brushless Review

For more information on the ShockWave 26 Brushless or to buy please visit the following link: www.horizonhobby.com Anyone who has followed our videos, articles or podcasts knows that I am a racer. Racing is what got me interested in this hobby and has kept me involved in it too. There are some days, however, when, while racing is fun, I just want to get some time behind the trigger and goof off a bit. Sometimes I don’t want to worry about competition. Sometimes I just want to go out and have some fun. That’s where one of the latest offerings from Pro Boat comes into play—the ShockWave 26 Brushless. When I first saw this latest ShockWave I was quite excited as it has a lot of innovative features to add to the “ShockWave Family Legacy”. It is the first ShockWave to incorporate a brushless motor and speed control. It is the first ShockWave to include three different trim schemes right in the box. It is also the first ShockWave to feature Spektrum’s 2.4GHz DSM2 Marine technology. With all that’s new it’s good to see proven features also make their return. This ShockWave, like the others, features a Deep-V hull design, stainless steel running hardware, comes out of the box ready to run and is sure to bring a smile to your face. With a batch of freshly charged Dynamite Li-Po batteries ready, it was time to hit the water and see if the ShockWave 26 Brushless could set the water ablaze. I will say I had so much fun with the ShockWave 26 Brushless…it’s fast, fun, handles well
