The Micro Hydro comes built and ready-to-run. Just add a Lipo battery and your own radio receiver. It features a precision brushless water-cooled motor with an innovative water jacket rather than the usual silicone sleeve or wrapped aluminium tubing. Fittings include ball socket attachments at the steering servo and rudder. The antenna mount is already installed. This is another example of the extra attention to quality not normally found in ready-to-run models.
The water cooled electronic speed control (ESC) is programmable for either Nickel Metal Hydride or Lithium Polymer batteries and has preset voltage cut-offs to protect your valuable batteries from over discharging. The ESC is perfectly matched with the powerful 280 size inrunner motor. Recommended batteries are: 8 cell 2/3A
1200-1500mAh NiMh in stick or hump style or 3S 11.v 1500mAh Lipo battery. You should use a 20-25C discharge pack. DO NOT USE 30C BECAUSE it produces an initial SURGE that will damage or blow out the ESC! The amount of AMPS produced is not the issue. You can use any mAh rating you want.
The unique hull design and offset drive shaft make the boat track like it is on rails without any tendency to flip. The boat is easy for a novice to run while being challenging enough for the most seasoned pro.
