Minicat Racing Tenshock Mini Eco

[badag98]

quick question on the eco jim, do you have to remove the prop to get the drive shaft out to grease it?

[sailr]

It isn't necessary but easier to get the shaft out past the rudder. I have removed it with the prop intact. It's OK to flex the wire shaft a LITTLE to squeeze past the rudder.

I got one of these and the best advice I can give is dont store the boat with the shaft in it. Mine was rusted in place and now I only store it without the shaft installed. I love the boat

I've got a mini-eco and love it. I had the same stuffing problems (thought I'd lost the boat in the bottom mud once). Sailr's help (or customer service) was excellent and we adjusted the size of my batts and the placement so no it rarely goes under. It really does well in rough water. I was thinking of trying some hump packs to see if it would provide more flexibility.

The quality is great and even with all the stuffing I had when I first got it, the inside was bone dry. I'm seriously thinking about getting another for my son so we can race around the pond - a bit of an upgrade for him.

This is the reason i sold my mini revo. I'm too damned addicted to boats. It's so exciting every time you run a new setup!

Sorry to hear that I just finished my Mini Revo. Now Im in the market for my first boat.

Just got my new mini eco all set up today. Took it out and ran it all I can say is wow!!!!!!! This thing is unbalievable fast and turns on a dime. Stuffed it a few times so I've got a little work to do but very little. Love this thing oh and good luck flipping it mine sticks to the water like glue. I recommend this this thing to everybody who wants a smile put on there face!!!!!!

[chidago]

Great, aint it? wait till you get a few hours on it..

[Brushless55]

what size of lipos fit this hull?
thanks

[chidago]

Depends on the maker..I have a 2200 and a 2650 3S that fit..cg is hugely important on it, so, overall size it critical, and to fit inside the hull
