    That is cool!! Upgrades it would be a rocket with lipo. Is that the same radio as the UL? I want one.

    I don't think it is Jeff. I think it is like the mini rio's probably a 27mhz

    The boat has an antenna so I would bet Mr. Clark is correct.

    Cute, but there are brushless, figerglass hydros out there for not much more than this.

    Don't get me wrong, there is a market for this type of boat, so I will sell it. But most of you guys would get board with the AQ boat in about 5 minutes.

    I like the things Jim Clark and the boys are building with the little outrunner and small ESC would be faster and more enjoyable and then add lipo for cheap and you have a rocket with a challenge.

    I always wanted someone to continue with Trents passion with smaller boats...maybe not micro but close. Would he not be impressed with options and speed today! He would crap his pants...with a big grin of course.

    I got better pics of that Hydro :)

    Also talked to Grim. Same motor as RR2, MR. Im going to guess same esc/receiver also. NiMh battery...

    It has a ride pad on the bottom and wire drive. Looks to be same coupler as the MR, just wire drive. So .047 piano wire.

    This is true and the problem.

    $110 for it. Then rip the electrics out to replace with brushless, receiver, etc. Next thing your another $100 into the boat... So its just an expensive hull...

    I am definitely not a fan of the antenna tube placement. I don't like it up front, and I surely don't like it on the hatch.

    I got just a hull in the mail today and plan on dropping a small brushless outrunner into it.

    So does anyone have any suggestions for the motor and ESC for this? I was thinking about the mustery 3000kv outrunner but I think they make a little bigger one I think 3600kv which might be better for this as it is 2+ inches longer than the micro hydro I am working on.
