Carrera Ferrari boat

Postby Dangermouse » Sat Apr 20, 2013 6:31 pm

Gazza on Auslot posted the news that Carrera is doing this Ferrari Speedboat in Radio Control

"Carrera RC’s ARNO XI Ferrari boat has been manufactured thanks to an exclusive reproduction license and is yet another shining star in the Carrera racing portfolio. This ‘Ready-to-Race’ rocket is 58 cm long and is equipped with a powerful, water-cooled, power engine that propels the aerodynamically formed Ferrari boat at an amazing 30 km/h. Range control is also integrated to ensure the boat returns automatically to within the signal transmission zone. Moreover, the propeller switches off automatically as soon as the Ferrari boat is lifted out of the water."

Now that would be the Ferrari for me if I could find the 1:1 I'd quit work and charge a fee of 300 an hour to drive the boat that would be a great way to make A living IMO.

Of course I'd have the boat govern to run slower than top speed so the people don't wreck the motor.

This was released last year here in the US. It's VERY fast, i've seen a video of it and it's smokin' quick.

Now Harry, if you had one of these we would have something to do in the pool on visits too. I know it would interfere with your shaving schedule but it would still be fun... :lol:

Very cool boat. I've spent the past 25plus years fixing boats, but never had a chance to work on one of those before.
