Aquacraft GP-1 Ultra – Brushless Mini Hydroplane

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 9:42 am. Filed in: AquaCraft, New Products

The latest boat from Aquacraft is a Mini Hydroplane called the GP-1 Ultra. What makes the GP-1 Ultra special is that it comes with brushless power and is Lipo ready right out of the box.

A 6-pole 2200kv inrunner and 30 amp watercooled speed controller provides the power on up to 3S lipo batteries, while a break-away rudder system prevents breakage when you hit those hidden treasures at your local lake. For size, the GP-1 Ultra has a hull length of 16.4″ and it weighs in at just 14.4 oz.

There are two versions of the GP-1 Ultra, the RTR (part #AQUB1820, street $179), and a receiver ready Rx-R (part #AQUB1821, street $139). The expected release date on both boats is later this month. For more information on everything Aquacraft check out their Official Website.

Posted by Brian @ 8:20 pm. Filed in: AquaCraft, New Products

Scale RC is the hot thing right now, and it’s not just for cars and trucks. Aquacraft has just released the Rescue 17 Fireboat. It comes ready-to-run and just screams scale looks. The water cannon can rotate 120 degrees and shoots water up to 10 feet! How cool is that? It has a 17 LED lighting system that runs off your main battery, and all sorts of other awesome little details. It’s 28 inches long (965mm), comes with a 2.4GHz radio, 600-size motor and runs on a 2S LiPo. Pricing and ship date was not available at the time of this post. Not too many boats come with LED lights, so this one has us drooling!
