Anyone else see this?!
yup sure did .thread going over at rcg and elite boats on f/b.on my gotta have list
Same here. Im going to pre order. Deciding on the color
the black and green looks sweet
Appears to be similar to the Spartan..... Looks cool though.....like the self righting feature in that size hull...... Guess it goes on my Christmas list to the wife........
i just received an email today on this boat from Tower for pre-order.
Crap! I just purchased a recoil about a month ago.
Better make room next to it lolQuote:

My understanding is Great planes took over Tower Hobbies.
I thought that was years ago? Like late 1990's or early 2000's and now with Tower/great planes going under I thought I heard Horizon was going to try and buy them out of bankruptcy?Quote:

I did not know it was such a big deal until Novak closed their doors. I feel bad now for trying to save a few bucks.
LOL!! I'm going to wait for the reviews but the Recoil 26 is SO MUCH FUN!! I purchased it to run when I'm out on the lake on my boat and run it in 1-2ft waves and it is a blast!! If this new sonic gets good reviews I will sell the Recoil and the Sonic will be my new toy to keep on my boat!Quote:

I had the barbed wire XL but sold it here a few days ago..only ran that a few times ....a little slow for my likings. I still want a recoil 26 to bash on. But I'm excited as heck to have a 6 cell ripper that can self righ and abs hull to take the jumps. Woooo it's gunna be fun!!!Quote:

I love the Recoil it is so much fun in the waves and have had a blast with it and it has been holding up to the abuse! Just wish it was faster! This new Sonic should fit the bill perfectly!Quote:

Oh boy.....would it be possible to do..?? ..... Is the mount replaceable....Have you seen one.....?Quote:

The mount looks easily modifiable

Ok...well now that i see a pic of the motor mount area...it does appear you could modify for a different motor....Quote:

Just a thought, but this could be a minor mod.Dynamite A3650, 2000Kv, 6-Pole, Water-Cooled marine motor.
Thanks.will Check if it's available in the UK.
