Impeller for River Jet

[Steven Vaccaro]

Im sure this is a long shot, but does anyone have a impeller laying around that they are not using? Im looking to have one made in metal and need one to replicate.

I posted a link to this request in the River Jet thread on RCG in the hope that someone squirreled away a spare before they all disappeared.

This is awesome news.

Just curious, how much will a metal impeller cost???

Either way it will be well worth it. Count me in.

We are waiting on Proboat to figure out whats going on. its a large investment, so until they are being made again, we have to wait.

Steve, out of simple business curiosity, what kind of quantity do you have to commit to upfront to make the price point and investment feasible?

For a retail of $24.95 200 pieces.

Wow, that's a good price. Much better than I thought since a replacement impeller for the Streamline RC Thrasher XT retails for about $79.00. I thought these would be about the same.

Compared to $16.99 for a stock plastic impeller, this is a heck of a deal. Put my name on one if you go ahead with these.

Put my name on 3 or 4. Thats is alot cheaper than what i expected.
So you will make them? When and if proboat re-releases the boat if they do.

At that price you definitely wouldn't feel too bad if you accidentally suck in a pebble and ding one.

How much for smaller run, there's more than a few with little more than a pretty paper weight right now now.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Thats just an idea/estimate on cost, since I was asked. Its not set in stone. I have yet to get a mold cost and factor in how many boats will be made and spread the cost over that amount. But it wont be $79.00. Thats nuts.

[Davidriverrunner]

Ok, thanks steve. Well ill keep my fingers crossed. But not gonna hold my breath for anytime soon then. Looks like i picked the wrong boat as a first RC. Ending up with 600$ in paperweights.

I guess I'm late to the party. I've read about a few issues with the motor magnets breaking loose, but not much else. I brought my River Jet home about a month ago, but haven't had a chance to run it yet. At this point, I'm wondering if it's worth trying to return the boat.
