It uses a outrunner motor instead of an inrunner. I also have seen only pictures, Good looking hull.

A new magazine just out on the stands, RC Boat, covered this in an article. It's put out by the same people who have RC Driver.

That’s true there was an issue with the motor and we have contacted all of the customers or dealers we can reach to let them know. We will exchange the motor for free and we are offering to pay for shipping so we can do the exchange here at our office in Idaho. For those that contact us and would like to do the work themselves we can also ship them a free motor just contact our CS team.
The motor has an issue with the epoxy that bonds the magnets. The epoxy is clear instead of grey like it was supposed to be. The magnets are not bonded well and so the motor can fail after even one run or possibly ten runs so we want to replace the motors for you immediately.
If your motor has failed and caused other components to fail as well please contact us and do not try to fix anything yourself first. Let us handle it so your warranty is not denied or altered in any way.
