I was just surfing TowerHobbies, it looks like the RTR is no longer available?

I find it strange that the SV27R is still available...
Is there something new that we don't know? :w00t: :spy:

That seems a little odd. I was under the impression that it was a well recieved boat. I love mine!
As someone who just bought the last silver & red Revolt 30 on the interwebs, I have a suspicion that something is going on. I have been watching them on tower hobbies for several months, expecting a sale due to the summer. Well they did have a sale, but the silver, red, blue all were eliminated from inventory. RC Planet, amain, etc didn't have any. I got my silver one here at OSE. All OSE has left is a ugly white one now. I agree it is strange for such a hot seller to be discontinued. I feel like proboat & aquacraft like rolling out new models in late summer/early fall; so selling out inventory in the spring makes sense.
I too have the silver one, and love it! My guess is a new graphics scheme with 6s capable ESC to compete with proboat.
Grim is being awfully quiet on this topic........
ok so i read this last night thinking it was a fluke and everyone was out of stock. Looks like the Revolt 30 is being discontinued. The central warehouse has rx-r version but the rtr is showing discontinued in both warehouses and the rtr shows discontinued for the west coast. I sold two over the past two months, guess it wasn't enough. Sad to see it go it was a solid boat, i would have thought the sv27 would go before the revolt.
I just got off the phone with AQ, The Revolt will be re-introduced as follows:
1) In its current RTR state but with a 6S compatible controller
2) Also a lager version of 33" and slightly wider will be released with a 2000KV motor similar in size to a Leopard 4082. This will make it more suitable for true "P" mono racing.
3) A 39" version will be released without a motor to fit on the "Q" class.
Its going to be great...hopefully they will be out before the snow flies.....
Very cool. Thee most popular RTR at our races this year. Guys run it in Novice, RTR and the P-Mono class.
Thanks for the info Doby
Sorry Guys....just my wishful thinking:laugh:
I was trying to bait Grim.....
That just aint right.. :moon:
i don't see the rxr version as being discontinued. i assume they're doing away with the rtr version and not the boat itself....
this must be a secret since nobody that knows will answer.
I don't get it. What's so mysterious here? It's aqua craft, obviously they're working on something.....It's what they do. How it relates to the revolt rtr being discontinued is beyond me...
If I had to guess, they figured why offer rtr when 95% of people have a radio they use for all their boats. So they stopped offering it with radio included.

I DISAGREE WITH YOUR DISCLAIMER!! YOU MAY BE RIGHT!!! :laugh:
tower is showing a rxr version discontinued now.
Most likely something is in the works, meanwhile the bean counters realized that the RTR version is not making enough profit. The Tactic radio did go up in price but I don't think the RTR 's price reflected that.
Now it is my turn to borrow the disclaimer " I may be wrong" !!! :lol::lol::lol:
The Tactic retails @ Tower for $64.98, I seem to remember it was lower when it first came out...
Guys no mystery here, the boat is discontinued, the central warehouse has/had some rxr's in inventory and those are the last of them.
Just got off the phone w my girlfriend's daughter's, exboyfriend's cousin who used to work at greatplanes as a sanitation engineer.
The AQ brand has become unprofitable so Grim has been fired and when all existing inventory is gone...the brand will no longer exist!
Or...I may be wrong!!!???
LOL...
At least before this happened, Grim was able to give us the Cracker Box!!!
