Looks like the a knock off of the starship rigger

Looks good... should run great with that outrunner on 3s

Kind of pricey considering I got my apparition rtr for 219 and its 32"

this is a rigger for $140 ??

Brushless this is about half the price of it's American counter part I was just stating porportionally it's expensive compared to hk rtrs that are twice it's size and 3x bigger in respects to hardware motor and esc. This is basically a 140 hull and hardware the outrunner won't last long it's cheap and a high kv for 3s and the esc is probably not any good for a motor any larger than this just my opinion but I do have a turnigy 2500kv outrunner in a mini cat with hk 50 amp wp and water-cooled , i mean no disrespect

I'm thinking it's a fair price from them.. same as the Red Hydro I think..
and it's not all that big so running 3s on that motor with that esc may run real good!

No need to change the motor boys, that thing is a screamer if it is what I think it is. That is the AEO ADS-400, 600 Watts. In the video section of this forum o posted a video of it running in agraupner tornado on 2s and 3s. It is a water cooled outrunner, the water gets pumped through the armature. On my mobile right now so hard for me to link it.

Have a look here,

Similar but different.

Look at the front end. The nose is wider, not as pointy. The Y part extending out is much broader. The pods are wider and a different shape.

Obviously it was an inspiration but it wasnt a direct copy.

There are several factories in China who have copied Tenshock's basic design. This version is from ELERC & I have one which was purchased from the manufacturer. Its a good runner with some minor mods such as reinforcing the motor bulkhead with glass cloth & epoxy.
