Anyone have any info??

I have seen pictures and I think it has the same gear as the mini rio
oh and it is a shovelnose

[JimClark]

OK I think I can show this now here is what you found a page for on Tower

That is cool!! Upgrades it would be a rocket with lipo. Is that the same radio as the UL? I want one.

[JimClark]

I don't think it is Jeff. I think it is like the mini rio's probably a 27mhz

The boat has an antenna so I would bet Mr. Clark is correct.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Doh! I should have seen that. Thanks.

Got a chance to see one today.... it's going to be a cool little toy!!!!

Looks like a good pool racer.....can't wait to see one.

WOW nice and a straight 6 cell pack i like it!
Now i hope they made it so the battery fits in the boat very easy...I hated those bunched up mini T type battery packs!

Cute, but there are brushless, figerglass hydros out there for not much more than this.

Don't get me wrong, there is a market for this type of boat, so I will sell it. But most of you guys would get board with the AQ boat in about 5 minutes.

I like the things Jim Clark and the boys are building with the little outrunner and small ESC would be faster and more enjoyable and then add lipo for cheap and you have a rocket with a challenge.

I always wanted someone to continue with Trents passion with smaller boats...maybe not micro but close. Would he not be impressed with options and speed today! He would crap his pants...with a big grin of course.

My brother is looking for RTR for the pool, this may fit the bill.

I got better pics of that Hydro :)

Also talked to Grim. Same motor as RR2, MR. Im going to guess same esc/receiver also. NiMh battery...

It has a ride pad on the bottom and wire drive. Looks to be same coupler as the MR, just wire drive. So .047 piano wire.
