Mine was supposed to be delivered today. Whan I check the tracking # it shows that it is on time but it hasn't left IL. I live in WA. I'm ready with a BL and esc and wire drive for it. I'm getting anxious to get it.

Oh, you guys are killin me! That thing looks like it was a designer screwup to do it brushed. Unfortunately, I'm low on cash right now, but I'll save up till I can get my hands on one.
Another small, but nice feature is that the antenna tube is NOT mounted on the hatch.

Does the Mini Rio have a 1/8th inch prop shaft?
Good question.
Yes it does

Hey guys! Tower Hobbies just dropped their Mini Rio prices to 80 dollars! woohoo! I wana get a biggere prop for my DF22 first though. Speaking of which, what's faster: x632 or x435?
Got my mini rio today. Ran it with a x432 prop and it only cavitated for a few feet. Motor didn't get hot. the water cooling seems to work , at least it shoots water out the side. Turns well and was ok on rough water Not very fast with a nimh battery a bit faster with a lipo. Just put a bl motor in it and will see how that works tomorrow. It is cool looking but I wonder how long the twist on caps are gonna work

With a 2632kv feigao motor 36amp ccTbird esc and a 2000mah tp lipo this thing rocks. It handles great at high speed if the water is calm but will do rough at a lesser speed. It could be made to go faster but i don't think I would want it to. That said I will put a 3900kv motor in it soon.

I have started a new forum header for this boat. So i will be moving this thread over there.

Sounds like a perfect candidate for the Mega 16 series......
Deigo the parts you orderd are ready to ship. Need your addy again...
P.s. pick up a short c off 4-40 rod and some 4-40 ball links for the drag link, I couldnt get the room for the "z" bar. Might need some 4-40 x .375 screws to attach the link. 4-40 was the smallest tap I have, I'm not used to stuff this small...lol Dave

Awesome Dave! Thank you again. I don't have an ESC that will work with your motor, is there anything else you need or want?
I'll PM you the address right away.

I tried to hand drill out the coupler for the Ammo motor, It didn't work out. I ordered a pair of replacement couplers and a new wire cable (since AQ decided to discontinue the original ones and replace them with upgraded ones)
I couldn't wait any longer. I ripped out the stuffing tube, installed a bigger one, and went with the tried and true .098. I'm going to install a RX, and add a silicone cooling jacket and run her this weekend!
