Tenshock hydro

[Gary]

Just picked up a mini hydro from Tenshock to have some fun in between banging my head with my SAW hydro. I was a little skeptical at first but this thing is a blast and fun to drive. A $15.00 battery will last 15 minutes and speed aroung 35mph on a 435 prop. LOVE IT !!!

Congrats! :banana:
Just bought one from a member here, still waiting for the delivery, I have wanted this for a long time but in the mean time I acquared a DF Vortex 16" and wasn't sure if I still want it, after this fun clip I knew I was convinced!

Thanks, I was warned by Jim Slaughter as well, nonetheless I had to see it for myself, and it is rough no doubt, just never thought to measure the blades! lol... Glad you mentioned it.

With a 435 prop and turn fin boat is around 32 mph and is a blast to drive. Never flipped so far and I love it. Funny thing is I know its faster but the gps itself slows it down from the weight LOL. Best $90.00 I ever spent!!

[czegard]

Gary, where do you bought the Tenshock hydro?
Cheers.

The new GII Micro Hydro will run approx 45mph outta the box. Now has 4pole 3200KV motor and 40A esc with program card.

[tlandauer]

Jim, do you sell the GII 4 pole motors alone? I can't find from your site, am I missing something as usual?! :doh:

[sailr]

Hi Tim,

Yes, I have some in stock. Sorry, not on the site. I lost my website programmer and I'm not good at editing it! The new 4 pole 3200KV, with water jacket is $89. If you want one, just use SEND MONEY on paypal.

I'm going to try to be a little more active on the forum again. I'm no longer racing. My back has given out to the point that I'm somewhat home bound. Gotta do something fun to pass the time. Right? :-)

[Gary]

Shes at a soild 40 mph and thats all its got. Dont want to try for more because then im fishing for it all the time.Great little boat and it fits in my Wave Runner just fine too!!

[Mike Caruso]

Sorry to hear about your back. I woke up one day and I was old... WTH LOL I hope you can work it out and at least get sleep. Best wishes.

[sailr]

Yeah, sleep is a challenge for sure. Haha. Thanks for the sentiment.

Glad you're still having fun with the hydro. Our new Generation II versions have a higher KV 4 pole motor and 40A esc. They rip! Approx 45mph outta the box.

[hazegry]

:iagree: I have the Starship Outrigger, love it, The Eco and two Samurais:buttrock: I always say that if I can have only one boat, it will be the Samurai for me.
I haven't had time to run the Eco but look forward to maidening her in June when I got time.

I think I really need one of these!
how fast are they on 2s and 3s?

[PvtSpoon]

There like 40-45 mph out the box on 3s the hydro is 1200-1500mah due to size and weight

[hazegry]

I think the eco might be a bit faster on 3s but on 2s its a ton of fun to whip around on the pond and if you turn just right it will submarine and then pop back up

[Brushless55]

very cool!

[martin]

You will notice the Eco will sometime submarine when turning to fast to the right, turning left is much better even WOT. This is why the Eco class boats are on anti clockwise courses when raced.
