The RX-3 is an outboard hydroplane powered by a 6-cylinder, 60 hp Mercury Mark 75, with which Hugh Entrop set a speed record of approximately 200 km/h in the International CLASS X in 1958. Our model is a semi-scale replica, with the hull and cover made from epoxy fiberglass. The deck sheathing is precision laser-cut mahogany veneer. The fittings for servo mounting, etc., are also laser-cut. A photo-etched parts set enhances the model further. With a 3S LiPo battery, the model achieves speeds of up to 55 km/h.
To operate the model, the following additional components are needed:
- Outboard motor (e.g., 7005/05 retro outboard motor)
- 60A speed controller
- 3S LiPo battery 4,000-5,000 mAh
- Standard size servo
- Remote control with receiver
