    WTS: Tenshock Mini-Eco

    Selling a nice condition Tenshock Mini-Eco.

    I lost the time and drive to further do testing and optimize its' running ability.
    These are crazy fun because they turn on a dime without losing speed, are very fast, and are self-righting. Very simple operation and maintenance.
    They are also wicked fun because they are small enough to take almost anywhere.

    Very little use.

    ESC is not included, but water-cooled 3200kv motor, Spektrum MR200 Rx, and an upgraded servo are included. Also included is an extra rudder, along with an assortment of props that are brand new as I didn't get around to testing them.

    The original prop made the boat fly on 2S, but got it up on top of the water too much so it would dance a bit too much. I got some other props that are not lifters, but only tested one. It kept the boat in the water, but wasn't the right pitch so speed was not optimized. You'll want to test the different props for what you like best.

    I've added the proper weights to get the boat to self-right quickly and reliably when using a 2S pack. Very cool feature.

    $160 + shipping

      No, I want to sell the package.
      The stock prop, a couple Tenshock props, and a couple "I don't recall what they are" props.
      Picture will be uploaded a little later today.

                  Thanks. I'm interested in a "beginner" boat for a neighbour's kid at the cottage. I was looking at a Reef Racer, but this seems much cooler. I have a radio from a Losi mini 8ight that would work with the MR200 so my high en Spektrum is safe.

                    I have a Reef Racer that I use for a recovery boat (and will also be going up for sale soon on a separate topic, but anyway.......)..........this Mini Eco is waaaaaay faster and cooler. Would be much more appropriate for a lake, whereas the Reef Racer is only fun in a pool, although it would be a good starter boat for a really little kid in a pond/lake.
                    :)

                        Thanks.

                        What's with the round and rectangular holes on the port side? Are they to allow it to self right? If so, why the rectangular slot by the Spectrum decal?

                          Yes, that is the flood chamber in order to self-right. The round holes were original and weren't sufficient to reliably self-right. The rectangle was cut for two reasons: 1.) To fill with water towards the rear more quickly and 2.) To provide access to epoxy and install weights inside the flood chamber at that rear corner. (The original weight on the rear outside corner was left there)

                            Can you provide a USPS shipping cost to L6R 0W2 in Canada?
