kyosho Palm Boats
 

here are a few boat you can chase the duckies around the pond with.:)

.

Cool! Looks like the Palm Cruisers may actually make it to market then? They were at the last show too...!

Yes tiny they where there too. I first saw these in may 2002 in shizouka. Talk about cool! and cheap unbelieveable. Maybe a Nov Dec release.

WOW!!!!! I love that! :)

And the prices are nice..............

And I live 200 feet away from a lake. :( Damn R/C hobby, you're killing all of my real car modding money.. ;)

AHH!!! MUST BUY NOw!

I wanna use it in the bathtub!

heheh you need to wait:)

are mini-z palmb runners and reg. mini-z made by the same kyosho?

I asked the reps and they said yes.

let the modding begin

I wonder who will be the first person to fit a Speed 300 in one of those? :D

its going to be fun!:D

Any idea what kind of range these will have? And.. uh.. what happens if you accidentally drive it out of range? ;)

Do you really want to think about that:D.
I think there is some sort of recovery system on this boats.( uf I recall right).

Oh, I thought the recovery system was a pair of wading boots :D

Usagi, what is this "nice price" which you speak of? 30$? 40$?

They are listed as 6900 yen $59.00...........

HHEHEHEHHE thats funny :p

I'd love to get one of these boats. But I'd have to use it in my pool only.

In Wisconsin if you try to run a boat as small as that in a lake or pond the bass and musky would eat it! :eek:

But for the price it will be a kick to fool around with.

Were there any other boat designs Usagi? Like jet boats, or ocean liners, etc.?

Right now these are the only two out. But maybe there might be a few more models. :)

Are they out now?? :) If so I need to spend some of my hard earned money on more toys. :(

No buddy not yet :) December they wil be :D

Cool! Can't wait! :) I'm gonna tear it up on the lake and scare the local wildlife. :D

i want one now

Neato!

How long are the palm boats?

Iv got a few gas boats that run over 55 mph, but heres one that is smaller than even the palm boat with a sp400 on a flex drive with a graupner 29 mm. It flies like a skipping stone.

Neat boat! Where can I get a small hydro hull for cheap?

www.microhydros.com

Youve GOT to have a retrieval boat to play in the water.

Mike

I think the Palm Boats are smaller than that.

lol, also my friend I talked to turns out he has a Coast Guard R/C boat (he used to be IN the Coast Guard so his wife got him one), we figure I can put a small afixed piece of iron somewhere on the boat since he has a magnet on the front of his and he can go grab me if I run out of juice ;)

those lil boats are kickass

Did somebody say palm boat?
 

This is my Micro boat! Its made by NKOK. It has 2 motors, no rudder. The boat uses thrust vectoring to steer, and works very well! The boat runs strait, and sits in the water very nicely! Very well made too!:D

AHH! Where'd you get that cool little thing?!

well they are not out yet. but they should be very soon.

I got this off ebay. You should be able to find these in a toy store.

The Boat works very well. As I said before it has 2 motors, 2 props(screws), and uses thrust vectoring to steer. The steering works quite well. The boat also move through the water very strait considering it doesn't have a rudder. Very nice little micro boat! :D

Hey, thanks. I knew Toys Be Us'n was good for something other than powerwheels!

I searched for this boat & came up with many NKOK boats, but none that small..

whats the name & part# ?

WHERE can I get it ???:confused:

thanks

Mike:D

Yeah! I think they're discontinued. I looked around on the nikko website and I can't find them.

The boats just came out, they will probably be a little hard to find for awhile.

The name of the boat is 64X ChargerZ Micro Sea Explorer Made by NKOK (not nikko). Sorry don't no the part number.

You might be able to find them at Toys r us, or Kay Bee Toys. I don't think there websites list these boats though. You should keep checking on ebay, I'm sure they'll pop up again;)


:D
