Description

The remote-controlled boat category like Mini-Eco in our country, either ECO 400 Standard or Expert in Central European countries, groups boats with a high hydrodynamic profile, with a maximum length of 430mm, a minimum operational weight of 0.5kg and with the propeller inside the model’s dimensions. A number of improvements have been achieved with this new Mini-Eco hull design: system that enables the fitting of plumbs when configuring the model in the water, getting a more esthetical result and keeping the model’s aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. The cooling line system is improved to create pressure in the model’s back end to reduce the time the propeller and the rudder are submerged in order to not lose control of the model at any moment. Tarasca is the name given to this new racing Mini-Eco hull model, produced under the current Spanish regulation and strictly meeting the Naviga legislation that regulates this competition internationally. This new model includes several modifications and innovating improvements regarding the current models that can be found on the market. This new model has been designed thinking of the user’s comfort on its makeready time in competition and the easy access to all internal components, being a theoretical and practical by 50%.

Advantages:

- Hull that differs in shape from current models, incorporating diverse details that distinguish it, thinking of the user’s comfort as it deals with internal components more easily. It meets all the points of the Naviga legislation that regulate this category, inside the permitted dimensions and having the minimum weight accepted. - New locking system, trying to avoid the use of duct tape after each use, or reduce the importance that currently has a mere matter of caution. - New system that enables the fitting of plumbs when configuring the model in the water, getting a more esthetical result and keeping the model’s aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. - Change of positions of the cooling line to create pressure in the model’s back end to reduce the time the propeller and the rudder are submerged in the water in order to not lose control of the model at any moment.
