CEN Grey Thunder
The 'CEN Grey Thunder' is an rc boat that has been designed as a general, all-round 'sport' boat ideal for newcomers to the hobby of radio control boating.
This boat has a very distinctive and unique look that separates it from the rest. It's a true deep-vee hull design which makes it suitable for ponds and lakes that are too rough for other shallower hull boats to handle; the Grey Thunder will easily cut through any chop on the surface without too much trouble.
Stern driven, the nitro version Grey Thunder is pushed along by a powerful 16 size (2.67cc) water cooled engine with a tuned pipe for added performance to let the boat reach speeds of around 30mph. The electric version can be purchased with two different size motors, the standard 550 or the larger, more powerful 775 which gives the boat a top speed of around 20mph.
All versions are RTR (Ready To Run) to get you onto the water in the least possible time and the radio gear has the modern pistol grip style transmitter.
Grey Thunder specifications & features include:
- Length: 820mm (32.28")
- Weight: 1.90kg (4.22lbs)
- Build in water resist radio compartment
- Inboard/outdrive system pivots the propeller and rudder together for greater stability in turns
- Pre-wired micro switch speed controller included (electric version)
