Included electronIcS & acceSSorIeS Pro Boat includes a 2900kV brushless motor. An aluminum water jacket surrounds the motor and keeps it cool. The brushless speed control with reverse is rated at 30 amps and can handle 5. 5 to 12. 5 volts, but note that Pro Boat recommends either a 7.2V NiMH or 7.4V LiPo battery pack. To control the boat, Pro Boat includes a Spektrum 2.4GHz radio system. To ensure signal is never lost, the included XXXXXXXXX receiver includes two antennas. The transmitter features the usual adjustments such as servo-reversing and trim adjustments but also includes dual rate and endpoint adjustments, which are not often included on ready-to-run radio systems.

To keep the boat stable, the Shock Wave 26 Brushless includes dual aluminum fins mounted on the transom. Inside the hull, the brushless motor mounts to an aluminum motor mount that bolts to the hull’s interior sub-floor.
