Your next .21 mono?

[Ron Olson]

Guess who's coming out with a Bad Ass .21 mono ARTR? Give up? How about of all Companies, Kyosho! This could be a contender!

http://www.kyosho.co.jp/main-e.html

A real fiberglass hull with what looks like an OS .21, tuned pipe with an add-on muffler and decent running gear. They just upped the playing field on ARTR boats this time, finally a serious looking boat from them.

Click on new, then to Heat Racer.

FRP = Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic

but it might be ok though???

 

[TimD]

It looks to be designed (or copied) by a racer. Using 4 inch rails is a good sign of that. This could be just the thing to increase interest in racing. It all depends on price of course.

 

[Finne]

yea it realy doesn't look like your standard kit boat does it.

Octura hardware and stuff.

But I didn't find anything about the engine, so I assume it's not included in the kit ???

I agree, it looks alot like the O.S max .21

Hi Guy's

I would not worry about the hull being FRP - yes it's plastic. LOL

But just in case you guy's didn't realise it so are all your epoxy boats. Fiberglass matt and cloth are forms of plastic fiber and the resins used polyester and epoxy are both forms of plastics. Therefore Fiber Reinforced Plastic AKA FRP or GRP for glass reinforced plastic.

Looks a bit sexier than there other offerings. Definately an OS engine I'd be guessing an RG series motor.

GT ;D

not bad at all!!

i like the trend in RTRs/ARRs recently, the miss bud, nitrohammer, and now this....maybe we've seen the last of POS plasticky little things that cant even get up on plane?

that engine mount looks pretty sweet, and it's included in the kit too!

carbon-blade rudder, that sure beats the junk Kyosho usually puts on it's stuff. i wonder what the price will be??

ive never heard of asymmetrical hulls to counterract prop walk or rolling, is it just that all hulls are made that way?

Joe

 

[Ron Olson]

It's the way that Seaducer, Maus and a few others build their hulls.

 

[Jimmy Whitbeck]

33 7/8' long? i wonder if this includes hardware?

So what next?

RTR Seaducers???



EMS Racing Putting the W back in racing

 

[Ron Olson]

You can get RTR Seaducers! TJ's Performance will build them about any way that you want them. Jerry Crowther Hisself would probably do it for the right price.

 

[_laxmasta2039]

hopefully what's next............high quality, small-brand stuff available from Tower at Tower-like prices!!

i think Seaducer, Speedmaster, FDM, AM, etc. etc. could afford to lower prices alot if they were gauranteed to sell everything they could churn out.

I mailed Jerry Crowther about Setting up a new Ducer, He will install the hardware, stuffing tube, rudder, motor mount and gas tank for 100 bucks extra.

I asked him this before i seen the post was looking at the new big ducer for weeder motor, and someone said have Jerry himself set it up, and NEVER touch the trim on the outdrive. I guess theres a guy that races that jerry set up for and hes never touched it, and it runs great.

I prefer ARR boats. Something about it, I dont like to drill into a brand new boat.

So someone else doing the stuffing tube and that, works for me.
