Tamiyacowboy Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 well guys after a hard nights cruising the internet i have found another micro rc i must get a micro rc boat i have seen these micro f1 race boats these are quick and small (9inch max length) and are fully proportional opporated and self righting.they also run 300-400 motors and 6-8 /2-3a cell packs. has anyone ever owned one ? what is the handling like ? can they be mambafied ? any needed mods before racing EG: surface piercing props,brass rudder,water cooling? as we all know the mamba is the killer motor of rc trucks and micro cars and i could do with another member to my 18th scale family of misfits. may also swap a tamiya shelf queen TA03F-S (becoming rare now too) but these boats have to be in imaculate order and 1/18th scale TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 taken from the web site he Mini Star is a miniature R/C electric speed boat. Just 13 inches long! This virtually unsinkable race boat exhibits a special ultra-stable, self righting design. The Mini Star displays the best of European design influences. Its maneuverability and speed makes it perfect for Eco-class racing. Powered by a 380 stock motor and a 7.2 volts 900mA/h it reaches speeds of over 15mph for 8 to 10 min. It comes completely assembled including motor and color decals. The Mini Star only requires an R/C radio and battery as you can see 15mph is fast but whack a mamba 8000 bullet boat all ya need is your mamba the esc and a rx TC SO HAS ANYONE GOT ONE i am willing to swap a 1/10 or maybe a 1/18th scale for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
