Thanks for posting the link (and the new forum) Steve. I think the guys are gonna like this one. Check out the hardware, too!

You know, I was SURE we had video. I'll check into that.

Holy Crap............................!!!! Nice.

Looks like it comes with a 2.4GHz Tx bound to a MR3000 Rx. Nice!

It MAY not be the MR3000... but it is a Spektrum compatible marine RX. I think it may only be a 2-channel RX. I'll try to verify that for you.

You'll also note that the driveshaft on this one is a standard flexshaft setup, as opposed to the captured stub-shaft setup they've been using. I haven't had a production model in my shop yet, but the stubshaft is 3/16" as well, as opposed to being metric, as in the past. That's what I specified on this one, anyhow. Note that the antenna has been moved off of the hatch and off to the side also, so you don't have to restring it everytime you put the hatch on.


This hull is a LOT wider than the previous CAT offerings from PB, and the hull geometry is "race inspired"... This one should perform all the way around!

Nevermind...looks like the MR200. When the heck did that Rx come out?!? It wasn't there a few days ago.

Looks like the entire hull is sealed off by the "tupper ware" lid. True? If so, good by hatch tape!

I'm not sure... where are you seeing that? I've tested them and they work JUST like the MR3000... they are just in a case, and conformal coated instead of sealed in epoxy. Same range and everything that the MR3000 has, just 2-channels and not the dual-pin-set arrangement... oh, and a LOWER PRICE as well...

If you are running it hard... I'd recommend putting a small piece of tape on the outter hatch at least... BIG flips can overcome the magnets and tear the outter hatch off, which then in turn tear off the inner hatch, and then...

Ask me how I know this???

I saw the Rx in the manual...

Well, I'll give Proboat their dues.....a new tunnel and cat. Well done.

That's cool... I haven't even looked at the manual yet... Very observant of you.

Would think that would be a good RX for offroad trucks and cars too!

Is the motor a 540 size?

Steven,

I just e-mailed you a copy of the Miss Geico Video that is suppose to be getting posted to the ProBoat/Horizon site. Feel free to upload and post it here if it arrives correctly. It's about 9MB, so I'm not sure if my e-mail sent it...
