    Is AquaCraft discontinuing the Revolt 30 ?

    I was just surfing TowerHobbies, it looks like the RTR is no longer available?
    Tower Hobbies carries an expansive collection of RC cars, RC airplanes, RC boats, model trains, sot cars, and supplies for all hobbyists.

    I find it strange that the SV27R is still available...
    Is there something new that we don't know?

    That seems a little odd. I was under the impression that it was a well recieved boat. I love mine!

    X blaze - still building
    Impulse 17 - not worth GPS. Lol (rescue boat)

        As someone who just bought the last silver & red Revolt 30 on the interwebs, I have a suspicion that something is going on. I have been watching them on tower hobbies for several months, expecting a sale due to the summer. Well they did have a sale, but the silver, red, blue all were eliminated from inventory. RC Planet, amain, etc didn't have any. I got my silver one here at OSE. All OSE has left is a ugly white one now. I agree it is strange for such a hot seller to be discontinued. I feel like proboat & aquacraft like rolling out new models in late summer/early fall; so selling out inventory in the spring makes sense.

          I too have the silver one, and love it! My guess is a new graphics scheme with 6s capable ESC to compete with proboat.

                ok so i read this last night thinking it was a fluke and everyone was out of stock. Looks like the Revolt 30 is being discontinued. The central warehouse has rx-r version but the rtr is showing discontinued in both warehouses and the rtr shows discontinued for the west coast. I sold two over the past two months, guess it wasn't enough. Sad to see it go it was a solid boat, i would have thought the sv27 would go before the revolt.

                  I just got off the phone with AQ, The Revolt will be re-introduced as follows:

                  1) In its current RTR state but with a 6S compatible controller
                  2) Also a lager version of 33" and slightly wider will be released with a 2000KV motor similar in size to a Leopard 4082. This will make it more suitable for true "P" mono racing.
                  3) A 39" version will be released without a motor to fit on the "Q" class.

                  Its going to be great...hopefully they will be out before the snow flies.....
