    MHZ Miss Trendwest 54" hydro 1/6 Scale

    Its killing me to look at this boat for sale.... I am close to pulling the trigger I need another project like a "you know what in the head"....

    Has anyone seen one of these boats on the water? What type of electric motor is it gonna take to power this boat?

    Do you guys recommend this boat? I guess the cannards operate on servos too? I've bought too many new boats lately and I really shouldn't but........

    I have gone on youtube looking for some in action and cant find any? Any input would be great as I have found one partially built for a mighty good deal!

    A Lehner 3080 or a Neu 2230 the most likely candidates. That hull is a looker for sure! Your going to wrap some bux up in that build.

      Alot of stuff comes with the boat....John you never gave me a price on your 30" hydro you emailed me the pics of... let me know.....

      What other stuff costs alot of money on this besides the power package? the rudder, servos, stuf tube, hardware, all come with the boat I am looking at.... just needs paint and motor mount, and the pwr package... If I was to buy I would def have peter z make me a NICE motor mount... would a 2215 push this boat?

              I know it's a fancy hull to put a cheap motor in but I was thinking if I went with the MHz miss trendwest I may use a hk4035/800 scorpion outrunner? I like the scorpion in my cat and it seems as though it's a good sport setup.... I don't need the MHz to go 80mph... I'd be happy with 55-60mph... Do u think this is possible with the 4035?
