Mini Rio Replacement - Dog ATE Mine!

[ryin]

So the other day I came home to find my dog had opened the cabinet in the garage pulled out my mini rio and completely chew it to pieces. I had upgraded it with the fastrcboat brushless motor and esc. The only thing salvageable is the motor and flex cable. I do have all the connection ends to the esc so I am going to try to put it back together before I buy a new one. Anyways I am in the need of a new boat for summer. I enjoyed the mini rio after I went brushless, even though it was always to choppy for full throttle. I want advice if I should just pick up a used mini rio for $50 or get the newer mini mono. has anybody had both and is the mini mono much better even with the different electronics. my three choices are to (1) get a used mini rio and a mini alligator tours boat as a rescue boat. (2) Just get the new mini mono. Or (3) stay away from the mini's and get something like a Proboat impulse. I do like the mini boats tho because they can fit in smaller places and have so much power for being so small. photo (2).jpgphoto (1).jpgphoto (3).jpg

I have a Mini Rio that I don't run anymore. It has been upgraded to brushless but is missing the radio receiver. email me at robjo(at)rogers.com if you are interested.
