219.2I TRIED THE MRC EXCALIBER 4011954::TYKSTue Jul 14 1987 10:178
    
    I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE MRC EXCALIBUR 40 DEEP V RACER. IT IS AN ELECTRIC
    BOAT WITH THE RS540 MOTOR. I WOULD'NT HAVE BELIEVED AN ELECTRIC
    BOAT WOULD HAVE SUCH GOOD PERFORMANCE. I'VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF
    FUN WITH IT.

219.3Another satisfied customerDPDMAI::WEINBERGERSEVMS novice on the westWed Sep 16 1987 14:1013
    Sorry to take a few months to reply, but since I've been with DEC,
    I have been on the road for more than 14 weeks. 
    
    My friend and I bought the MRC Excalibur 40 with the RS540 motor.
    It's a great boat, but we are looking to increase the speed and
    duration of our runs.  Any suggestions ??
    
    By the way, there are a lot of lakes in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area,
    and lots of places to run the boats.  
    
    Bye for now,
    Keith
    
219.6Not a "Monster" but maybe a Trinity 2002DPDMAI::WEINBERGERSEVMS novice on the westWed Sep 16 1987 18:1714
    Dan,
    
       Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately the "Monster" twin won't
    fit into my boat.  It's two big.  My local dealer suggests a
    checkpoint, Trinity 2000 ( or up) .  Anybody heard of these motors?
    
    According to the dealer, the Kyosho 360PT is not a good motor for
    this boat.  Anyone heard different?  
    
    I would love to know if anyone has tried to increase the speed and
    performance of these boats.  Thanks again for any
    help/information/advise.

    MARYLAND BOATER
    BOY WAS I GLAD TO FIND THIS. I'VE BEEN INTO RC BOATS FOR ABOUT THE
    LAST YEAR AND A HALF. SO FAR I'VE BUILT THE MRC WELLCRAFT PORTIFINO
    (WHICH IS A REAL HEAD TURNER AT THE LAKE) THAT IS E DECENT PERFORMER.
    A MRP FASTCAT WHICH IS A REAL PIG ! I NEED SOME SUGESTIONS ON
    REPOWERING THIS ONE. CURRENTLY HAVE THE ATLAS VAN LINE HYDRO A THIRD
    OF THE WAY AND HAVE PICKED UP AN .65 K&B FOR IT. 
    I COULD USE SOME HELP ON PICKING NEW MOTORS FOR MY CAT AND SOME
    BREAK IN INFO FOR THE K&B.
