    Is AquaCraft discontinuing the Revolt 30 ?

    I was just surfing TowerHobbies, it looks like the RTR is no longer available?

    I find it strange that the SV27R is still available...
    Is there something new that we don't know?

    That seems a little odd. I was under the impression that it was a well recieved boat. I love mine!

    Impulse 17 - not worth GPS. Lol (rescue boat)

        As someone who just bought the last silver & red Revolt 30 on the interwebs, I have a suspicion that something is going on. I have been watching them on tower hobbies for several months, expecting a sale due to the summer. Well they did have a sale, but the silver, red, blue all were eliminated from inventory. RC Planet, amain, etc didn't have any. I got my silver one here at OSE. All OSE has left is a ugly white one now. I agree it is strange for such a hot seller to be discontinued. I feel like proboat & aquacraft like rolling out new models in late summer/early fall; so selling out inventory in the spring makes sense.

          I too have the silver one, and love it! My guess is a new graphics scheme with 6s capable ESC to compete with proboat.

                ok so i read this last night thinking it was a fluke and everyone was out of stock. Looks like the Revolt 30 is being discontinued. The central warehouse has rx-r version but the rtr is showing discontinued in both warehouses and the rtr shows discontinued for the west coast. I sold two over the past two months, guess it wasn't enough. Sad to see it go it was a solid boat, i would have thought the sv27 would go before the revolt.

                  I just got off the phone with AQ, The Revolt will be re-introduced as follows:

                  1) In its current RTR state but with a 6S compatible controller
                  2) Also a lager version of 33" and slightly wider will be released with a 2000KV motor similar in size to a Leopard 4082. This will make it more suitable for true "P" mono racing.
                  3) A 39" version will be released without a motor to fit on the "Q" class.

                  Its going to be great...hopefully they will be out before the snow flies.....
