Tied for first place, purely on a performance basis are the Hitec Spectra/Optima AFHSS system and the FrSky module/receivers.

Better $200
Those who aren't interested in brand-names or who are happy to make do with lesser levels of support in return for a more than 50% price savings will find the FrSky offers virtually the same performance and features while being much easier on the wallet.


Entry Level
Having said that, all the systems reviewed have passed the flight-tests and will, in most situations, represent perfectly adequate ways to convert your existing module-based radio to 2.4GHz operation. Each has its own pro's and con's. For example, if price is your bottom-line then the FlyDream product starts to look pretty good. It offers better performance than the Spektrum system at a fraction the price and that savings can make a real difference when you're on a budget.

Best
If money was no object then the Hitec may just be the preferred option of many, since it comes with a "brand name" and, in the USA at least, legendary after-sales support.

Based on informal testing (because I've only had very limited access to FASST-based systems borrowed from others) it would appear that Futaba's system is rock-solid and very good in all respects, except price. If Futaba want to make a system available for testing I'll gladly add it to the list of reviews. However, the "brand name" vendors (Hitec excepted) seem very reluctant to have their systems really subjected to honest review by RCModelReviews.com. I'll leave it up to the reader to work out why that might be.

  1. Print slow with .4mm nozzle and 0.1mm to .2mm layer Hight to avoid having water intrusion issues. PLA works great. The people that say that PLA leaks between the layer lines are printing with incorrect settings. You will have 125+ hours to print this correctly. It's a beautiful model, don't ruin it with a bunch of Flex Seal on the hull bottom.
  2. There need to be alignment tabs and more surface for glue between the different hull sections but there aren't so when gluing together this will be where you potentially get leaks. Many Youtubers building this boat have remixed the design to include alignment tabs, but none have been kind enough to share files with those of us without the skill of 3d modeling.
  3. On the transom of the boat (the back), you need to install bolts in the holes for the outer stabilizer tabs BEFORE assembling the hull sections. I put mine in and then dropped a big glob of epoxy on the bolt heads to hold them in place.
  4. The motor mount doesn't work. The motor will hit the half round radius on the hull bottom. There is no way to easily design a new one because the motor will then be too high to accept the prop shaft. The outdrive needs more downward adjustment to allow this. That would also correct the issues of prop cavitation that many report. The only way to install the motor is to melt or cut away the radius on the hull bottom for motor clearance.
  5. The passage in the rudder for water cooling is too small to flow water well. I found that I needed a separate electric water pump for cooling.

Update: I found that if you use a shorter prop shaft, 150-200mm the motor sits further back in the hull and can be mounted with Sergi's mount

  1. Using waterproof coating: You can apply waterproof coating to your 3D prints to make them waterproof. There are several waterproof coatings available, including spray-on coatings and brush-on coatings. One popular coating is polyurethane, which is a clear, durable, and waterproof coating that can be easily applied to your 3D prints.

  2. Using waterproof filament: Another option is to use waterproof filament, which is specially designed for 3D printing and has waterproof properties. There are several types of waterproof filaments available, including TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), and Nylon.

  3. Using waterproof tape: You can also use waterproof tape to cover your 3D prints and make them waterproof. There are several types of waterproof tape available, including silicone tape and butyl tape.

  4. Using waterproof sealant: You can apply waterproof sealant to your 3D prints to make them waterproof. There are several types of waterproof sealant available, including silicone sealant and polyurethane sealant.



Best way to waterproof 3D prints?
  1. Increasing the layer height to reduce the amount of layers because the holes between layers are the problem.
  2. printing at a higher temperature.
  3. increasing the wall/floor/ceiling width.
  4. increasing the infill.
  5. increasing the model's wall thickness.
  6. increasing the filament flow to about 150%
