Description:
Megatech� started with a modified V hull design featuring multiple planing strakes for breaking up water surface tension. Surface tension is the biggest drag-causing factor on RC Racing Boats, and the Megatech� Caribbean Cruiser Electric RC Racing Boat planing strakes are placed at several points on the hull bottom to defeat this speed-robbing phenomenon. As a result, this RC Racing Boat literally flies over the water's surface.
The Motivator for these Electric RC Racing Boats are twin electric 550 motors bolted up to a 1:1.7 drive-ratio transmission, which in turn drives a single heavy-duty main shaft and large surface-drive prop (no toy-like under-water drive found here). Surface-drive setups are the pinnacle of RC Racing Boat technology. They are also the mechanism responsible for creating those huge rooster tails so closely associated with real competition boat racing, and guaranteed to excite your onlookers.
Mounted off the transom is a strutter-design rudder control. Again, a feature only found on RC Racing Boats. Rounding out this Electric RC Racing Boat competition package is the copper plumbed, (not aluminum) Aqua-Ram� forced-water cooling system. This system features water-jacketing around the commutator ends of the twin motors. This keeps the electric engines cool and running at optimum output efficiency. Exiting cooling water can be seen streaming out of the model's portside freeboard. The Megatech� Caribbean Cruiser Electric RC Racing Boat also comes with an installed High-performance competition speed control and pistol-grip radio. If ordering 2 or more for racing purposes you must request different radio frequencies. Feed your need for speed!
