Radio and batteries not important. Would like it rtr though.

I am getting into 1/16 hydros which are about 22" long, so I am looking to sell two of my smaller hydros. \

One is a "bolt" hydro like HOR or HK sells (if they ever get more.) I do not think the hull was ever run, but it had hardware installed at one time. It is a very light layup and the gelcoat does have a few cracks in it, but it is not structural damage. The boat is small at 15.25" L x 7.25" wide. This hull does have a turn fin included with it with the pivoting mount. I will also include the grey hatch cover with either boat as an different option on finishing it. Price shipped on this bare hull is $35.

The second one is my Delta Force mini Hydro. This is a fantastic hull. In my opinion, it is superior to the the bolt. It is also bigger at 16.5" x 8.5". Construction is much more solid, the only problem with this hull is the hatch cover. The flat areas have cracks in them and the edges curl up, but it can still be taped down just fine. This is a really nice hull. I will include an extra hatch with this one also.
When I got it, it had a 28x35-3600 inrunner in it. Seemed like way to much motor, but I ran it on 2s. That motor died (bearings) so I put a mystery 2632-3000 outrunner in it. I ran it one time on 3s and it really jumped! The problem was my hooked turn fin was not straight so it kept wanting to leap out of the water. Never did get any performance numbers off of it, but I think it would work out just fine. Has a Hobby King 25/30amp ESC that I water cooled and sealed. has run underwater like this, no problems. Also has a mini servo in it. deans style connectors. I use a 3s-2200 battery in this setup, about $10 each at HK. $110 delivered if interested (no radio, just add battery and receiver/radio) I will include 3 different plastic OSE props also, 27mm and up.
I also have a 2845-2250 water cooled inrunner (actual venom motor, looks brand new, same as the KOS cat uses) I would include that motor instead of the mystery outrunner for $125 delivered.

Here is my thread on it and video's of it running.

Thanks for the info Brian. I will keep it in mind. I'm still testing the waters on this thread. Maybe I will make you an offer for all of it!

Thanks again,

Rob

The fiberglass hull is airbrushed Chrome Silver/Blue flip with blue flames/skull and clearcoated, She is wicked looking... The motor is an E-Flite "Six" series 2700kv 6 pole inrunner. The motor will burst to 650watts, just under 1hp. The esc is a 45amp Aquacraft... After a run motor and esc cap come back 80-90 degrees... Hardware is the OSE micro strut and rudder... steering servo is a Hitec HS-81.. X435 prop... I'll take some pics of the interior if you like.. I'm a perfectionist, my builds are clean and solid... I have a couple friends that have the "bolt" hydro's running the Wongpoo motors and esc's, this boat eats them alive... Far faster and way more stable. I can almost hang with the UL-1's around the bouys. I was in the mix till the second lap chop started rollin : ) The boat is exactly as you see it in the video, run's perfect, is perfect...

Ron,

Thanks for returning my PM. I understand where you're coming from bro. You are right, it is a little more than I want to put into it. Awesome boat though.

I bought the yellow Delta Force!!!!! Thanks to everybody for their help. Hmmmm. What's next????

[robinator63]

Boat arrived yesterday. Thread closed.

[befu]

Whew, glad it finally arrived.

Big thank you goes out to Robinator who was a very patient person to work with on this one. Put it into UPS on 12-23 and it just arrived the third of January. It was my fault as work was closed down for a four day weekend and UPS did not pick it up due to a virus we have on the UPS computer at work. Ended up having to call them to get the driver to come out.

Again, excellent buyer, I would have been more panicked in his shoes.

Have fun with it and run the gelcoat off the bottom - Brian
