Picked up 3 used Mini C's on Ebay this week that were listed as "parts boats"
When they arrived I was surprised to see just how "mini" they really are! They sure are tiny little buggers, they should be fun to use in the pool and small ponds...and easy/inexpensive to make fast. :rockon2:
I am happy to report that out of everything I received I was able to get 2 perfect Mini C's ready to hit the water, and the 3rd one just needs a new steering servo and a rubber boot for the antenna. It also has a small crack near the top rear corner of the boat that I will fix as well to ensure no water enters the boat. Other than that all three of them look brand new, even the boat stands still have the original plastic around them.
It took some testing, bath tub time, and part swapping between two of them to get the two perfect boats, but only having to replace a steering servo in the 3rd one is a simple, inexpensive fix.. I got lucky...this time
Here is a picture of them:

I will be selling 1 of them for sure, and probably a 2nd one as well once I get the other one working. So if interested feel free to PM me but for sure watch the Swap section for a listing soon.
Can't wait for the weather to clear up so I can take them for a spin! :thumbup1:
