    No new hydros?

    Kinda shocked no new RTR hydros have popped up lately from our folks at PB & AQ. The ul1 has done a fantastic job, but has been out for a few years now and PB discontinued the Elam. Just thinking out loud I guess....

      I've seen some of those... they are nice for sure. I'm not looking to buy a new boat, I was just shocked no new rtr hydros are out.

        A larger and lightweight Aquacraft 30" hydro would be nice (more stable in race water). It could be powered by the proven UL-1 motor/esc. Until then you will have to build one. IMO the Whiplash is best.

          How about a big Aeromarine U-40?

            I hate the UL-1. It handles well, by itself, on a glass pond. That's about it. PB needs a new hysro for sure!

                  A 30" AQ hydro would be cool. Maybe something with more if a Vega Duece look..

                    I agree.......and a wider tunnel width like the PT Stealth or Whip would be a MUST. Something that would stay right side up at 55mph.

                      With the AQ Revolt so darn fast and good handling I would not be suprised at all to see a new Hydro from AQ. Grim - Grim - Grim LOLROF

                      UL1 really a good boat and everyone that owns one I am sure would like one faster and more stable or should I say more stable windy race days.
