Miss Geico 29 BL Catamaran Videos

[Steven Vaccaro]

Steven,

I just e-mailed you a copy of the Miss Geico Video that is suppose to be getting posted to the ProBoat/Horizon site. Feel free to upload and post it here if it arrives correctly. It's about 9MB, so I'm not sure if my e-mail sent it...

Got it and updated the top post.

Looks like a winner.

Steven,

The MR3000 is encased in epoxy, and has dual pin sets (for dual motors, dual steering, etc.)... and, of course, is a 3-channel. There may be some adjustable failsafe features in there as well... I think you set the failsafe when you bind it. For example, if you want to have your rudder turn to the right in the event of a loss of signal, there is a way to program that (I believe by holding rudder right when binding???)

The MR200 is conformal coated, and comes in a standard RX case. It only has one set of pins, and of course, is only 2-channels instead of 3. It says the failsafe is "preset", which I think means it's fixed at the Neutral position for the controls.

MR200 is listed at $49.95... so it's a bit cheaper as well.

I've used them in two different boats now and they work every bit as good as the MR3000... same range, etc...

This is way cool!

Somewhere on the SpektrumRC.Com site there is a list of the different names we use for the different types of failsafes. "Preset" means it goes to the position where the trigger/wheel was at when you bound it (ie, throttle to "off").

The official video link will be corrected shortly. Darin's is the same one, I believe.

Vid looks great. Darin, hows the fiberglass on the hull? Is it thicker (stronger)than the BJ was?

[RadicalRay]

Looks nice. It's very cool to see all these new RTR boats coming out!

I'm just waiting for one of them to hit the shelf. The suspense is killing me!

Any idea when they'll be hitting the shelves? And the twin-drive brother soon after that...?

Twin?? Why do you think that??

Not thinking, rather hoping....

This is a beatifull boat. Thanks Darin for putting out hobby grade products for entry level prices. Everytime I go out to the pond a kid and it's parent asks about getting into the sport. It's a nice thing that now they have a lot of options at reasonable prices.
