Wtb: Mini hydro hull

[boater76]

Still looking to buy a mini hydro. If anyone has one of the Bull Nose type from Skunkworks let me know or something else. The one from Skunkworks I had the hatch was badly warped. I just got a hull from HOTR and it is too small for my 2S 3600 battery and my motor mount and Turnigy 3600kv motor.

You lookin for just hull? hull/hardware? whatcha after. I got a mini DF that I might let you have if it is what you are after....

[boater76]

Just a hull.

[Jesse J]

Make me an offer...

[Jesse J]

I can strip off the hardware - the custom hatch just needs a coat of Epoxy (I could add if you want) and paint; it is opened up underneath to make room for motor. The hull is perfect, with CF motor mount and reinforced turn fin mount.

I can include any of the hardware you might need for this.

Bare hull .... probably worth at least $40 + shipping.

EDIT: we kissed and made up - not for sale, at least for now.

That's a Micro Hydro from Mini Cat Racing. How'd you lose your hatch Jesse? Interesting adaptation of a brushless outrunner motor!

[Jesse J]

it didn't come with one... actually it had a stupid tupperware lid... she is one quick cookie, just need to spend time with her to get the dials figured out.

[boater76]

Still looking. Read first post.

Jesse, what's the KV of that motor you were able to sneak in there?

I just checked my eBay history and this is all I could dig - the item is no longer on there.

RC Model 3850 RPM/V KV Outrunner Brushless Motor

This was on recommendation from the Dr Jet MTH thread. It was a tad much... wanted to fly rather than swim. I think I'll be ordering a Tenshock when the icefishermen pack up their tents.

We are the North American distributor for Tenshock. Let us know what you need.

[Jesse J]

Exactly, Jim! I think you had directed me to a hopped up motor for this guy? what is the ideal KV for this?

[sailr]

The 3800KV is the best motor for the Micro Hydro. The 4200 is too much.

small boats

Well, 2s-3600 is a big battery for a mini boat. On the attached picture are two boats that I have. The hydro is the delta force and the 2s-2200 just fits. Might be more room for a battery down the port side of the motor mount and move the ESC infront of the motor.

The cat would probably fit a 2s-3600 battery, not sure about the weight or the motor you would put in it.

Something in the 1/16 hydro range might be a bit better size. The hydro that you have is 16" correct? Not sure what boat in that size your battery will fit into.

Are you sure about not wanting a mono? 24" and turns well. And cheap - white hull for $30 delivered CONUS. this would fit your battery well. I run 3s-3600 in one with a Turnigy 3650/2300kv motor. Not a race boat, but would be a fun sport boat to run.

I like the Delta Force. Where can I find em? Anyone sell just the cat hull? Not into mono's
