My insane Micro Patriot in action. This spring I am going to swap in the recommended prop (x427) and add some trim tabs.

I have a question. In the second photo; the 3rd boat (hydro) as it does not look the same as the Micro Hydro on the BBY site (the front of it looks different)




Also, the one next to it (white rigger) what would these cost RTR no motor/esc/servo but all hardware installed.

Thank you.

Most of your questions are answered on my web site, the center boat is the same as the Volcanic Splash and the ABS rigger is about the same as the 2cell lipo rigger. Most of my builds are with out motor and ESC any more. Due to the large supply of very cheap to very expensive setups. I mostly do ARTR. little hard to answer general questions on a very special rigger, but I think that about covers it.

Hi Randy,

The Micro hydro has no specs on your site so it leavs some questions. What type of Lipo may be used, 1800, 2200? Also what type of motor is the smallest and the largets that may fit? Also do you have any links to any pics of the inside of the Hydro setup? Also, I don't find that white rigger anywhere on your site? What is the link to it? All your boats have a pic but don't find that one.

Thank you.

We have ran several motors in the Micro hydro from the Mamba to the 05 brushless motors. We have pushed the Micro hydro to 58MPH in SAW application. My favorite is the Mystery 2632 3000 kv on 2S2P 2500mah and a 431 plastic prop.

I will have to add some info to this thread. A link to white rigger

Greetings Randy,

What are the dimensions of the Micro Hydro? The one that is: ABS-M/DV Hull Kit, and what is the smallest motor that may work in this hull as 2030, 2040?


Thank you!

THIS thread may have the info, but maybe not because I haven't had the chance to re-read it.

Greetings Randy,

What are the dimensions of the Mini Hydro.

The Mini Zephyer is 21X11.5 inches and has ran in rough water 54MPH first test I hope to run in the 75MPH range some day with this boat on 2S1P.

Hear is a vid of the Rigger hitting 82MPH average.

And this is the boat.


This is the driver

Oh so this is not a "Mini" as I thought. I was thinking it was the same size and the MiniCat from MiniCat Racing that is in the 15 inches range.

Ok you have Mini and Micros confused a 1/16 scale is a mini (under 22inches) and my micro hydro is 14.75 inches. A 30 foot hull at 1/24 scale will be 15 inches.

Thank you Randy,

We are all clear now, and thank you for talking with me on the phone. I hope you feel better!

Hear is a shot of the inside of the boat.
