I run Blast in sea water, just like my other boats including competition grade nitro! Pre & after run maintenance is key to safely running here. You must ensure the lid of the boat is taped on the hull all around and use silicone grommet where the antenna sticks out. Silicone grease for the outdrive components and heavy machine oil in the shaft tube( use little syringe with bent needle, oil port is under receiver box). After run i flush cooling line with fresh water and window cleaner. For this i use 60 ml syringe with silicone tubing. I spray entire boat with it before i remove lid tape and then i apply WD 40 on outdrive components and screws. After removing lid i remove little amont of sea water that went inside of the boat with large syringe and then ad some 20-30 ml of fresh water & window cleaner inside in the boat while tilting boat side to side, fore and aft to clean it. Remove that with syringe and leave it to dry. That's it. The boat is like new🤗

It's a great little retro style rc boat for some summer fun. I love it😁

Good show! Everyone says it's to slow but I'd rather have fun than keep capsizing it all the time! Just ordered one. Sometimes stock is better not alot of upkeep and breaking down! Wayne.
