Impeller for River Jet

[Davidriverrunner]

Its a blast to run in rivers, jumping waves. It does have a few issues that need to be sorted out. The pump unit is a pain to grease, should mod a grease port for ease of maintence. I had the choice and kept mine its worth the work IMO.

Any word on when these might be available???

We are waiting on a release of the boat.

Any update on this??

We are waiting on a release of the boat. As far as I know, its still not released. But I may have missed it?

You are correct it is still not re-released. I talked to Rafael on facebook last week and he said he has no updates yet either

[rayzerdesigns]

It was released.. I have one.. but recalled they are fixing issues now

[Steven Vaccaro]

Unfortunately until they make more, it doesn't make sense to invest in that many.

Saw a facebook post from Proboat, looks like the updated boats are in stock.

Yep. The new release are out there and I got mine. Beat on it a few weekends in a row and it's doing fine. I added a grease port for trouble free maintenance and added a Modified R/C grate to the intake. The boat is a lot of fun, but does need the nozzle necked down for more predictable control. Just my 2C

I have a 3D printed nozzle on my boat and it definitely helps make the steering more precise. Here is where I got the file

You can save this file to your PC and upload it to Shapeways if you don't have or know anyone with a 3D printer and they will produce this for you in your choice of material. I chose the strong and flexible plastic. Mine was only about 8 bucks. New users can sign up for an account and get free shipping on their first order.

Steve, any update on this? Would love a metal impeller.

[FLMIBrewer]

Did these impellers get made?

No. Proboat revised the stock plastic impeller and made it stronger than the original, so that's an option if you're still using an original V1 impeller.

He is correct. The money it would have cost to do it, would not have made sense.
