The best way for boat retreival

[rickwess]

Here a vid showing how easy to control it is and how good it turns.

It looks like a Tupperware container with PVC attachements. I wouldn't mind seeing some pics of the layout.

Snuck out to a local pond before work today and managed to flip my Revolt.

Retrieval RR2 with tow line attached to fishing reel worked nicely.

Revolt was upside down for a little while and took on no water, so that is a good feeling also.

They don't sale that rescue anymore, they have a new one that they are working on. I tried, was denied in full......lol They are supposed to email me when the new one is ready for sale

Well that sucks, I was thinking about it. I guess I'll just finish setting up the Southampton Tug I got.

Not to sure about those esc and 3s life,
But hear a modded tug that I would like to see a video of it running some day.

I'm using these ESCs in the Southampton tug:

As I said, it works pretty well, but I'd like a little more power. These ESCs are rated for 2s LiPo (nominally 7.4 V). How risky do you think it would be to run them on 3s LiFe (nominally 9.9 V)? I have a 3s LiFe battery to use.

Period!

we use tons of different methods when we go out any thing for my 11 year old daughter that you cant pry out of the water to a high powered walmart foam tunnel hull , fishing pole , and the best yet was my friend bill . me and another member (cinnabun) go out all the time to our favorite pond and it is a pond no other water enter this place but as soon as we get to doing dumb stuff like drag racing our revolts some thing bad always happens they hit each other or his just takes flight because it thinks its a plane for some reason they always drift in to the center well this time mine flip some how im not going to point any fingers but it just drifted in to the center of the pond i would say ruffly 50 yards of shore and my very loyal friend volinteered to go get my boat at 1 in the am at a state park so after getting my boat and learning he wasnt an olympic swimmer and the pond was alot deeper than 5 feet like the fisherman told us we realized we have to come up with a better way of doing this

Southwest, thanks for posting. I'll have to look into that setup and queue it up on the project list. Sigh......more money.

I tested out the RR2 rig I mentioned above this morning and it worked great on Revolt and Minimono test subjects.

My main reason for the airboat originally was in case of seaweed/muck being a problem, but with the RR2 being able to be reeled in and cleared of weeds if they are a problem, that concern isn't as important anymore.

Opinions welcome.
