Micro Boats

[X34]

Micro heli is a rage right now, how about micro boats, runs on speed 400 b/bl motors, 7 cells

Reckon the total cost motor plus boat etc cheaper than a Stock Trex.

No news

The landed price of the micro hydro is about Euro 90, about $198.
The suggested hardware (rudder, drive shaft etc. not including propeller) Euro 130, about $286.

The hardware set is ex, I will source for a set below $150.

Will post asap.

Hardware seems very "exclusive".

You think I will insult this boat's performance if I pull my straight shaft eco's hardware out for this? (serious....).

[PCC]

wah - actually their hardware looks really neat (all carbon fibre)....

[X34]

The carbon fibre rudder looks very nice, I am thinking of using piano wire drive and source for the carbon rudder from somewhere else. offshoreelectrics.com has carbon rudder.

They can offer the boat without esc and radio for HK1300($270). I think it is very good price. PM if keen.

Kyosho ones are ABS plastic, if I am not wrong, they stop producing.
