    If you want a bit of a project, I have one that I tossed the stock motor from and put in a Medusa 3400kv brushless in it(had to make my own shaft coupler). It basically does wheelies now, but reliability is an issue I think. You would need your own RX, ESC, and battery if so, and the swivel broke off on the baby duck tow hook, as I was casting it with a rod, could prob be easily fixed, I also drilled it out and filled it with foam.

    But FYI, the thing is a turd when it comes to retreiving boats, there are much better options..............

          I see. I had a hard time finding this one. Ended up getting it from Graves RC, not sure if they have any more, worth checking. A lot of places advertised them, but then after putting in your cart you see that it's backordered.

                  No problem, shipping is the big cost to me.

                      Rick, that is acceptable to me, the duck and duckling radio are in great shape and there is a new (unused) battery and a used (unknown condition) battery with the decoy setup.

                      Just let me know, Thanks

                        Just a PS on this one-- while the actual duck isn't powerful enough to tow in a boat for a rescue, the gaff makes for a great rescue tow-- I drag it behind a traxxas blast and it has never failed me...

                              Rick, send me your email and I could send you a couple of pictures before I send it off this morning. It is like brand new and I never got to use it.
