Electric Mini Aligator Tours

Just saw this today on the AQ site. Might be fun to toy around with if the price is right. http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/boats...urs/index.html

Looks like it will be in the same price range as the other minis.

Only a 100bucks!
how could anyone go wrong, this thing looks like tons of fun

Was thinking of using this brushless motor with a 2S lipo think it's to much RPM?
how much rpm is a brushed 380 from all the aquacraft mini boats?

Mine should be here thursday! I purchased the elctifly T400 motor that they list as a hop up for the mini hydro so i am going to put it in the air boat hope this motor works if something blows out i will put my normal RC electrics inside it.

Very cool man, that sounds like a lot of fun..

Keep us posted. I would like to go brushless and lipo just for reliability, runtime and ease of maintenance.

Me also but i am wondering what KV would be good for this boat? Runing 2S?

Maybe something similar to a plane running a similar prop size. It's going to create more drag running through the water then a plane would but it's a starting point at least.

Got it today it looks neat.. I did not run it but i installed the T400 motor in it it has a little more thrust to it now.... But i do think i want to go brushless.
The problem with it on mine was the prop way out of balance you see the motor shaft moving vibrating all around... I found out what made it off balance alot it was the chrome prop cone I twisted it off with a plyers and then ground off the nipple on the prop and it's much smoother now.
