          7.4V is not enough. You can use 'em but you'll be disappointed in the speed. You will have to program the ESC for 2S. What you need is 3S 2200 packs. We have them for sale but they are not on the website. Call us when you're ready. They are the Hyperion packs. Only the best!

                That's a really Good price for that Micro Hydro but you will want a retrieve boat. Not self righting.

                  The most reliable boats from the point of view on self righting so you can run them on a bit of chop is Minicats Velocity mono, Youll be surprised on how this boat is not just a calm water boat & it will do around 37mph stock on 3s. Also as been mentioned Minicats Mini Eco made by Tenshock its a very good little boat also self righting & a lot of fun, Their isnt a boat around that will turn as fast & sharpe as the Mini Eco. Theirs videos of both these boats on Minicat racing site. Thanks Martin.

                    The ECO doesn't self right right out of the box. it takes some adjustment and sometimes modification of the openings in the hull and added weight on the left side to get it to sink faster thus self righting quicker.

                    The mono self rights without any mods. Just a happy coincidence of the design of the boat.

                      Correct the micro hydro is not self righting but it is hard as heck to flip!! I still have not flipped and would be surprised if you did flip one.

                        So Ive come to the conclusion that its probably in my best intrest to get some kind of boat that i can use as a recovery boat for the future. I dont want to have to go swimming if not needed.

                          Get an Aquacraft tugboat for a retriever. NICE boat!

                            Who's hijacked sailr's OSE account???!!!?! A TUGBOAT?!?!?!?

                            minicatracing are also great at shipping to Canada - they'll help you avoid the standard pitfalls of getting stuff up here from the USA.

                            I've got one of their mono's and hydro's, and now I have a cat in the mail. Great products and great value.

                              Haaar! That AQ tug makes an excellent retrieve boat. It's really nicely made. '

                              Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm a modeler first and business man last! I take a lot of pride in helping out my fellow modelers. My little business only pays for my hobby. I don't make a living at it! Good thing I'm retired! ;-)

                                Between the Velocity Mono and the Mini Eco what one is faster? I noticed the Mini Eco has a 40amp ESC and the Veloicity has a 30 amp. Also steel prop compared to carbon filled. Its a toss up for me on what boat i should get .
