She seduces the tire as the amount of fast-tracks very cool at reasonable

into the world of water with the Sport Lagos, Mini-V hull, the fast, fun, and
was super easy to use and Helion is now on the road again. The latest addition

brushed 7.2V NiMH is set at the top of a RTR complete package and once again

The boat is a shell made of molded ABS, the upper deck and canopy. The stickers are applied on the ship and the radio will similarly in trim color if you choose red or blue versions. The canopy with a screw cap and foam on the upper deck set, helping to provide a seal. The shape of the hull is a deep V with measures to help the stability. The bolt is tensioned with an inner wall.
This keeps the rudder, flaps and slats turn held in place
securely. We are thrilled that the ribs and tabs on the pleasure craft are made
of aluminum and the fact that the legs are adjustable impressed us more. The
rudder and his horse are consigned from composite plastic with the water intake
tube into the mountain. While the steering has a nice sharp edge, we noticed
that it is not a cabinet-like configuration, so do not take anything, in the
water or run the boat on the shore. A simple pressure of the shell with a
waterproof boots of standard servo.
In the performance department, receives a torque 550 size motor, the power of a waterproof and water-cooled 30A ESC. The motor drives a single drive shaft, solid to reduce vibrations in a filling tube with a rubber coupling. The abutment is composed and a supplement is, when you need it, provided. A water cooling jacket coil wraps around the engine to keep it cool during long runs. 7.2V 2600mAh battery that strapped with high power T-connection Velcro in the docking station after you get overloaded with the wall charger.
After Helion Rivos was accepted at the office, gave the crew of this boat a thumbs up for the quality and our view bank-test build. Our only note is that it has no foam flotation on the front of the hull if the boat takes on water.
But we quickly realized that the packing foam cut the
boat in and filled in the arc. We are delighted to receive the Rivos in water
for some tests. Check back in the coming pilot numbers RC and RC boat for our
further thoughts on the characteristics and performance of the Rivos.
