            They are truly RTR. Battery & charger is included. Not like we're gonna need them anyway!

              Oh, you guys are killin me! That thing looks like it was a designer screwup to do it brushed. Unfortunately, I'm low on cash right now, but I'll save up till I can get my hands on one.

                Another small, but nice feature is that the antenna tube is NOT mounted on the hatch.

                  Does the Mini Rio have a 1/8th inch prop shaft?

                    Good question.
                    Yes it does

                              Got my mini rio today. Ran it with a x432 prop and it only cavitated for a few feet. Motor didn't get hot. the water cooling seems to work , at least it shoots water out the side. Turns well and was ok on rough water Not very fast with a nimh battery a bit faster with a lipo. Just put a bl motor in it and will see how that works tomorrow. It is cool looking but I wonder how long the twist on caps are gonna work

                                With a 2632kv feigao motor 36amp ccTbird esc and a 2000mah tp lipo this thing rocks. It handles great at high speed if the water is calm but will do rough at a lesser speed. It could be made to go faster but i don't think I would want it to. That said I will put a 3900kv motor in it soon.
