    Any interest in a Scale 1/10 hydro?

    BACK FOR SALEI hate to do it but, I am planning to go the FE nats but can't see spending some of the money I am saving to build a new large garage and shop. So I am testing the water to see if there is any interest in my 1/10 scale "Wildroot Charlie" It is the 2008 RRR build off winner. The boat is in fantastic condition and runs very well for a scale hydro. It is built from light plywood with a real planked Honduran Mahogany deck, The deck has been brass pinned to simulate the screw grid of the real boat. I can sell her 1 of 3 ways. 1) RTR and ready for the water, she will come ready to go with a Nemisis 8XL, Hydra 120 ESC and a Futaba T3PM FM radio TX & RX system installed. 2) Hull and all runnning gear less radio system you would need to add TX & RX. 3) Hull and harware only. in any event you would need to add batteries (4S) and a charger. It is a very nice hydroplane. If any one is interesed let me know as I may be putting her on eBay soon. Here are some photos. PS the boat is approx. 3 feet long.

      Wow, how much are you asking?

      For anyone that doesn't know, these boats are beauties. Not many are available unless you build them yourself.

        Rod, I know how much a scratch built means to the builder. I am thinking of building me up one this winter - just like this one, but know I won't be doing planking. This is a beautiful boat and I am bummed I didn't get to see her go. If I had the cash right now, I would be driving to Pueblo instead of typing.

        For those who don't know Rod, he holds many of the records in many levels (if not most). He is a master builder as he is a great racer. If anybody is at all interested, this is a very rare opportunity to own a SUPER detailed 1/10th scale. I hope mine comes out 1/10th as good as this one here.

        I am sure this thing runs great and is also probably very fast. Rod, do you have any video of her underway?

        you might want to drop some starting point prices for your three different sale arrangements.

        Rod, thanks again for the fun day last month running buoys.

        Good luck!

          . I want to go the the Nats but really need studio and work space as well as place to put my street rod that I am paying monthly to store now. Under our current financial conditions, hobbies are not a priority for many folks, so I am hard pressed to put a value on her. I will consider a fair and reasonable offer

                    It's a show piece for sure.

                        I had not posted a price, I was first looking for any fair offers. I really don't know what to ask on the forums, I know what I think its worth as I have a ton of time in it, But I'm affraid if I post that price people will think I'm crazy. I have had several PMs here and on RRR .

                            Some of us think you're nuts.......but it has nothing to do with prices.

                            I hope this comes out right. Those pictures suck compared to what it actually looks like.

                              Wow! She's too purty to race and let some bozo run over it and booger it up! I'm not even gonna ask the price because it's worth a lot more than I can afford. BUT on the chance it isn't, PM me and give me a price range for the option without tx and rx.
