Almost Ready to Run Fast Micro Hydro!
Incredible SPEED and incredible Handling!
The Mini Cat Micro Hydro is a top quality fiberglass racing boat made completely with the best of American epoxy resins and materials. The polished gelcoat finish ensures lasting color without the need to paint the hull. The brushless motor and electronic speed control are chemically treated at the factory to make them resistant to moisture. Small amounts of water in the boat is not an issue.
The Micro Hydro comes built and ready-to-run. Just add battery and your receiver. It features a precision brushless water cooled motor with an innovative water jacket rather than the usual silicone sleeve or wrapped aluminum tubing. Fittings include ball socket attachments at the steering servo and rudder. The antenna mount is already installed and the antenna furnished. 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 cutoffs 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. Check our Links section for Vision Hobbies. They sell excellent Lithium Polymer packs at reasonable prices!
The unique hull design and offset driveshaft 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.
