30+MPH Self-Righting 17" RC Speed Boat - Atomik Barbwire 2 Racing Boat Running & Review | RC Driver

A boat! We love hitting the pond or lake with a radio control boat during the warm months, but it’s mid winter here in New England and it’s not exactly boat season. But when Atomik reached out to us and asked if we wanted to try their new Barbwire 2 17” Brushless Deep-Vee, well we couldn’t resist. We’ve had experience with the original Barbwire and it was a lot of fun, so we were really looking forward to seeing the updates on the Barbwire 2. The boat has a better battery, motor, prop, improved CG and some new aluminum running hardware. Top top it all off, Atomik claims the boat does 30+ MPH. So in this video we take a look at those new features and lucked out with a few warm days that allowed a local pond to thaw and we were able to test the boat and grab plenty of action video.

might be a silly question, but how did u get the boat back when it blew the propeller in the middle of the lake? or what if the battery runs out in the middle of a deep lake? Also, what's the run time you got? Thanks!

Luckily there was still a little bit of plastic left on the prop so we were able to slowly return to shore. We also had a fishing pole in case it got stuck farther out. We never did full runs, but pulled it in around the 8 minute mark while we were shooting different video segments.

I feel like the Atomik barbwire2 is a copy of the Proboat Recoil 17”

MK films,
We have been selling the Barbwire model several years before that model was released.

winnrscircle yes sir and hit the hardware with some water displacement formula number 40 sorry WD40

winnrscircle - 6 years ago
DeviousRC 66 so it would be OK to run in salt water as long as I rinse throughly
DeviousRC 66
DeviousRC 66 - 6 years ago
winnrscircle honestly no boat is good for saltwater. As long as you clean it and rinse everything out with distilled water.

What is the best crawler in your opinion?? Really want to buy one soon.. tossing up between the trx4, scx10 ii wrangler or the everest gen 7 pro.
mike s
mike s - 6 years ago
MrDngrsdave Drive it as it is first, it's great out of the box, maybe it's not comp worthy, but who cares, if you're not out doing those all the time it doesn't matter. You'd be looking at something totally different anyway. It's really not as bad as some say it is to begin with. The tactical version is a little cheaper and not as heavy as the defender, but I've never driven that version. Either is going to be a great truck though! And if anything get the scx10 ii and trx4. I've not been impressed by any redcat stuff.
MrDngrsdave
MrDngrsdave - 6 years ago
Was thinking of getting a diff body for the trx4 to get rid of the top heavy issues.. maybe get my wife the trx4 and me the gen 7 lol
MrDngrsdave
MrDngrsdave - 6 years ago
Thank you for the replies, cant wait to get a crawler for sure
mike s

The trx4 is the truck to get, hands down. It's got a lot of great features the others can't have without hundreds of dollars of upgrades. And they're worth it, the truck is a ton of fun!
MASON WINKLER
MASON WINKLER - 6 years ago
MrDngrsdave if you can afford it and you have a Traxxas shop near your house, the trx4 is one of the coolest crawlers out right now. However, the Gen7 has the most bang for your buck and arguably better crawling performance. The trx4 has more top speed and scale features. Personally, I'd choose the Gen7. The only real advantage to the Axial is the steering, not worth it imo. Hope that helps!
