3Features
The Waverunner Atom comes with the following outstanding
features:
1 3D CAD designed, hydro-dynamic catamaran ABS hull
giving excellent stability and increased buoyancy. The upper
deck and the underwater part are fixed by stainless bolt,
which makes the maintenance very easy. The waterproof
silicon gasket between the upper deck and the hull ensures
the boat is 100% waterproof.
2 2.4GHz 4 channel radio system, delivering superb range
with less interference. The handset range is 500m+/-
dependant on weather and environmental conditions. The
handset charger and its AA rechargeable batteries come as
standard.
3 Microprocessor controlled variable speed in forward and
reverse. Power to the motors is regulated through a
microprocessor to give you unrivalled manoeuvrability and
response.
4 Built-in fail-safe means you won’t lose your boat. When
the signal is weak, the boat will stop going forward and it will
automatically drive in a circle until it finds a strong signal and
comes back into full control.
5 Patented bait hopper. Due to the design of the hopper
release system, it will contain and drop even the smallest
particles efficiently.
6 Patented hook (rig) release system can be used to place
the rigs exactly where you want them.
7 Two quality, quiet direct drive motors and propellers
delivery optimum performance and prolong battery life.
8 Weed guards ensure that weed, line and detritus do not
foul the propellers or impede performance.
9 Waterproof rocker switches. All switches and charging
sockets are waterproof.
