After the early demise of my HK rigger I decided to forward the electrics into the HK Pod Racer. Im going to try a different motor at first for more speed.
This hull at first glance appears to be a knock off of the Tenshock Mini-Y but I think it just looks similar and maybe some of the key dimensions may be the same. It for SURE is not an exact copy. The pods up front are a lot larger in person than one would think by the pictures... The Y arms are much wired than the Tenshock. The bottom skis stop at the rear... I had it out with Hobby King as well as the hatch for this boat didnt fit at all. Its warped every which way and impossible to tape down securely. A new one is being dispatched to me after a fight with HK. Overall the boat aint horrible, just not what I was expecting. THe main hulls finish inst the best, not very smooth. But its solid and doesnt leak, passed bath tub test.
