Default Mini-c vs Mini Rio

Both small... Both same price... both use a 380 size motor.

Mini rio:

rudder
water cooling stock
better waterproof feature
longer
seems to be a better overall build

Mini-c

its a cat... i'm a fan

What do you guys think?

Going brushless eventually btw. i am going to run it stock for now... then maybe try a rc18mt mm6900 in it...might be fun

you'll probably end up going brushless sooner than later, i don't imagine that 380 will keep you interested for too long

I voted mini-c because it will be a more stable boat, not just stock, but with the brushless power you need it to be stable when goin so fast in such a small boat!

Right... But it doesn't look as stable from the vids I've seen. They look like they are very prone to flips.

Think u R right.  The C can't turn as tight as the Rio at high speed and tighter in space to work w/.</p>
