Had some questions about this boat and thought I'd start a new thread on it...
MRP Bud Light Tunnel
NO hardware (ESC, servo, transmiter, ect included)
Limited sun exposure - never stored in direct sun.
Original box and instructions
The hull is in good shape,
No cracks, no salt water use.
I had this when I was a kid and read that the rear should be bolstered beyond the manufacturers specs, so I added plexy glass and some rigid plastic to the inside and outside of the rear (not very pretty - but served its purpose)
The outboard looks good, but seems to have some drive shaft issues: at high torque the entire shaft assembly spins making an aweful noise. Not sure exactly what the problem is.
I read on RCgoups.com this seems to be a common problem and that some octura flex shafts fit as replacements I guess...
Fun boat. Not sure I could really guess on the $ value to someone, but
thinking $30 and then add shipping.
Let me know what you think -
Thanks for any interest!
