I went to the river with my bl mini Rio. Lit a cigar with a mini rio under my arm and it slipped. Shattered the hull. What now? Do I buy a another mini Rio? I have a bl system and 3 lipos for it. I liked it but I didn't love it. Maybe I buy a mini V or build a hull from scratch. I do need a boat that will be fast with a 2600kv bl motor. Any suggestions?

How bad is it?[&:] Is the hull fiberglass or plastic?[&:] and could you post pics of it?? I can tell if it can be fixed or not. i do autobody and paint for aliving. I'd worked with justabout all kinds of meterials.[8D]

It's thin abs plastic. It's not worth fixing. The whole boat was $89. Its in several pieces.
Thanks

build a little balsa rigger from scratch only takes a saturday and you will be running sunday

That sounds great but...I'm not so good at the scratch build. Have any plans?
MikeV

or searh mini wild thing thread, i could send you some plans. very easy to build.

The wild thing looks great and I would love plans. The 16" sounds like exactly what I want
Thanks
