New RTR

[Eyekandyboats]

Hey guys.
I'm pretty sure that everyone here is beyond the rtr stage for sure ( other then the sv27's lol)
I just thought i'd do a little show on what Osborn model kits has in store for the new year.
We have a couple FE boats out and now we are going to hit the market with a RTR ABS boat.
Like most it has a stock motor, Being a smaller hull , it goes faster then most others and stays cool with out w/c.
It will come with a higher amp esc ( at least thats the plan) so that later upgrades ( such as motor) , you will not need to purchase a new esc.
and it will have a AM radio. I am testing the boat with rudder placement. So far where it is now, it lets me turn both ways fairly good .

( my caddy graphics are not included, But there will be graphics in the box with the boat.)

Add you 6 cell and go!

HOPEFULLY if it works out it will be a OMK boat, If not then just another boat in the"doom'd pile"

have you tested it yet??

[Eyekandyboats]

yes .

[crazzy maxx]

im thinking of buying it.
i like the hull design alot.
u said u have a higher amp esc. whats the max amps????

[Eyekandyboats]

I believe if i'm not mistaken it will be some where to 50/70 amp esc. 5-10 cells

[crazzy maxx]

what is estimated speed stock?
how much money?

[Eyekandyboats]

estimated will be the same as pretty much every other stock RTR.
I am guessing 13-19 mph out of the box
cost. . it will be competitive with all the other RTR's

I like the direction you went with the hull. The vee is quite deep, mcu more than the other rtr's in the same price range. IMO it's a smart move. This hull will behave much better after motor upgrades. Nice work man.

[Eyekandyboats]

thanks!.
just have to pick up the new canopy's.

What hop-ups for the Johnson motor, turn fin and trim tabs which weren't mentioned, thanks! It is a nice build and clean and neat inside. Nice job!

With LiPoly and Li-Ion choices that are out now, these smaller boats are really going to do well with the lighter batteries. 05 Car motors on direct drive and gear drives will have a new life as well. This is a very nice looking hull, nice job!

What will the canopy look like?

[Eyekandyboats]

the canopy will be a low style off shore closed canopy.
it will looks something like this.

Looks pretty good Taylor. Get the right pricepoint, and no other RTR will be able to compete. I think this model will do well.
If it were available when I was buying Radio Shack crappy boats, I would've snatched one up in a second instead of settling for something as useless as the Caliente 2.
Hull design/layout already looks to be better than The Villain, The Carrib. Cruiser, and the Hotz...let alone 70% of the "Fast" electric crap boats on eBay...
Good luck Taylor/Osborn!

Thank you ! that means a lot to us. I will pass on the news to Derek.
