Default RE: NOT IMPRESSED WITH MINI RIO

Agreed...have a relative who is the same way....he has two Mini Rio's, a Rio EP, an Alligator Tours, and a MVD...and he don't listen half the time either. I ran all of them an the lil Rio's ran great for him, but he kept upgrading and upgraing and waits for me to travel to Ft Worth from Houston to run them. I do all the maintenance which aint no big deal, but he gets scared pretty quickly once any one of his boats are put in the water. Frustrating to say the least.......His irritating quote..."lets bring it/them in"
ORIGINAL: Basstronics

The boat took about 1-2 foot to get up on plane. I remember having to keep the battery as far back as possible. If its to far forward forget about it.

The stock motor is weaksauce.

I upgraded the motor to the VR3 or something like that... $15 motor. Made a hell of a difference without turning to brushless.

Some people will never be happy. For $100 what do you expect? A rocket ship? If you want a fast boat bring your allowance or enjoy what you have!!! Fast is not free!
