    RECOVERY RIG - AQ Tug with special recovery mods

    SOLD!!!

    This is the most reliable boat in my fleet. Started life as a brand new stock AQ Tug. I added an RC style bilge pump with float switch and discharge line. 2.4 ghz radio with custom lead extension to mount rx in top of boat for best reception and give you plenty of working room without disconnecting wires every time you install batteries. Also upgraded motor and esc to Traxxas XL5 with Axial 27 turn crawler motor. This gives the boat amazing torque and power with the perfect speed and never overheats. Cruises in a semi-planing state, but not too fast to be unstable. Also added pool noodle bumper on front for pushing in stranded boats. You can also add a tow rope with floating hook if you like. I also run a 2 battery parallel setup using 7 cell 3000mah nimh. Includes 4 batteries. This gives you very long run times. Usually only need one set of batteries per outing which works for several recoveries and the kids just cruising around the pond. This setup is ready to run. You only need to add your battery charger. Price is $250 shipped in CONT US. I figure its going to cost around $50 to ship.

      I can vouch for how well this tug works. It's recovered many boats for me.
      How much for the kid, when I say that I mean how much will you give me for him. Lol.
