Uncle Fester,
I have one of those as well. They are a really nice thing to have, and a lot of fun to run around in the pool.
Perhaps we should get Harbormaster to open a new chat area specifically for those. LOL!

It might look like this:

"Duracell or Eveready Black - Which batteries give you the longest run time?"
"Anyone out there know of the best prop for these?"
"Would a 4-bladed prop improve my hole shot and top end?"
"My boat leaks throught the stuffing box, what should I do?"
"Any other graphics packages for these?"
"Will trim tabs help or hinder performance?"
"What upgrades to the motor exist?"
"Pix of my son's pet gerbel a the helm"
"Which scale figures work best with this boat?"
(leading to the latest Donzi Girl section using plastic, painted figures).
"Best trailer and scale tow vehicle for my 28ZX RC?"
"My RC boat is two years old. What's it worth on EBAy?"
"I modified my mini-iPod with a speaker, so now I have a stereo."
"Anyone out there have a source for miniature Livorsi decal gauge faces?"
"First Annual 28ZX RC gathering at Lego Land."
"Are 28ZX RC's real Donzi's?"
"Is plastic the only acceptable hull material? Do we allow home made balsa wood Donzi RC's at out events? Is Carbon fibre a better, stronger, faster hull material?"
"I want to change my 28ZX RC to twin shafts. Any suggestions?"
"Does raising the X-dimension of the prop shaft increase speed?"
"Increasing rotor and stator output."
"Light weight shaft now available from Teague Marine."
"Found this on EBAY..."
"What is the difference between model years?"
"Mike, Can I enter my 28ZX RC as my boat at the Annual Hometown Gathering? What about a slip?"
"Flush fit hull screws."
"How to I align the shaft?"
"Does Ford make an engine for this?"
"Is there a scale Volvo outdrive out there?"
"Shaft drive or CO2 cartridge?"
"Is this thing a true collectible?"
"Worth more in the original, unopened box?"
"Can I put the motor from an RC car into this, or do I need a marine specific motor?"
"Should I flush my boat before or after recharging?"
"How do I improve the range of my controller?"
and the inevitable...
"Best way to store boat for winter?"

Have fun with your new Donzi!

:smash: :yes:

That was an awesome colaberation LT.

Found it on eBay. $30 and included shipping. Been watching them on eBay for a while but they mostly go for about $50-$75.

That is funny. My sis bought one of those for my father. I told him that he now has a boat like mine!

It should tide him over until we finish the 16

Got mine at Toy's R Us about 18 months ago, $19.95 minus a 15% storewide sale price.

Funny how I suggested the EBay thing and that is EXACTLY where you got it from. LOL! Glad to hear they are worth 3 to 4 times what I paid.
Good thing I kept the box and all the paperwork. Better than the stock market returns in the last 18 months.

Is there a Toy's R Us in New York City? Wouldn't that be Yankee Stadium?

It will work great in my back yard.....no gas motors allowed on lake.

BTW, isn't my oldest daughter beautiful?

I got one of those for Christmas last year, along with a 25" Ballistic prop!
Used the prop a lot, have yet to get the R/C Donzi in any water bigger than the bathtub!:propeller :boat:
