    Tenshock hydro

    Just picked up a mini hydro from Tenshock to have some fun in between banging my head with my SAW hydro. I was a little skeptical at first but this thing is a blast and fun to drive. A $15.00 battery will last 15 minutes and speed aroung 35mph on a 435 prop. LOVE IT !!!
    PT-45, 109mph, finally gave up after last bad crash

    Congrats!
    Just bought one from a member here, still waiting for the delivery, I have wanted this for a long time but in the mean time I acquared a DF Vortex 16" and wasn't sure if I still want it, after this fun clip I knew I was convinced!

        Thanks, I was warned by Jim Slaughter as well, nonetheless I had to see it for myself, and it is rough no doubt, just never thought to measure the blades! lol... Glad you mentioned it.

          With a 435 prop and turn fin boat is around 32 mph and is a blast to drive. Never flipped so far and I love it. Funny thing is I know its faster but the gps itself slows it down from the weight LOL. Best $90.00 I ever spent!!

                  Jim, do you sell the GII 4 pole motors alone? I can't find from your site, am I missing something as usual?!

                    Hi Tim,

                    Yes, I have some in stock. Sorry, not on the site. I lost my website programmer and I'm not good at editing it! The new 4 pole 3200KV, with water jacket is $89. If you want one, just use SEND MONEY on paypal.

                        I'm going to try to be a little more active on the forum again. I'm no longer racing. My back has given out to the point that I'm somewhat home bound. Gotta do something fun to pass the time. Right? :-)
