          Does this hull come with that motor mount installed?

            It doesn't come with the motor mount installed. He will put CF on the floor or rails if you want. I installed my own CF. Its a very well handling hull, couldn't be happier.

              Very nice build. It looks like it may be faster than a Delta Force 29.5, it would be fun to compare the 2 on mirror setups, for speed and handling with the same driver

                Thanks. I did run it this past weekend with a df29 in the water also. He only has a sv power setup in his so he couldn't keep up. I did prop down and did a few laps with him running 35-40 mph. Its close as far as handling, but the rico may have a slight edge especialy in rougher conditions. I've had the rico to 47 mph and its rock solid at that speed. I may have to take the 1515 1y out of my df33 and put it in the rico to see how it handles in the mid 50s.

                  Hi Kevin, Who sells this 29" Hull, I think this will be a good replacement for my Titan 29.
                  Thanks

                      looks good Kevin if you put the 1515 1y in it you may need to put the trim tabs a little wider to let the hull settle in the water a little more . i have set a few of the 29s with the 1515 1y they handle it very well you'll be suprized.

                        ricoracing.com His name is Richie, send him an e-mail. I had a titan 29, in my opinion the rico is capable of higher speeds and handles chop better. There is one for sale in the swap shop also.
