Two years ago I unboxed the first STREAMLINE RC Thrasher Jet Boat the world got to see.. and it was remarkable - and NEW with its self righting system in 2016. Well here I am unboxing an freshly UPGRADED V2 THRASHER from StreamlineRC after all of their forward thinking R&D has been installed. A POWER BILGE PUMP?! WHAT?! Yup, you read that right.. This revelation is cutting edge technology for these style of RC boats - and Streamline RC continues to push what we all thought was possible. Now you can empty your boat without having to bring it back to shore.. and its all automatic!
I was able to convince Scott, the head engineer and founder of the Thrasher Jet Boat to put together a short video for us explaining how this technology works. You will see it in this film.
The additional upgrades to my V2 boat that I have installed are:
1) Power Bilge
2) Pump Tuning Kit
3) Ride Plate
4) Full Size Servo Kit
5) Pressure Based Bilge Regulator
6) Additional Hull Vent Kit
**NOTE** YES you can upgrade your V1 Thrasher to the new style.
Straight from the website, this blurb sums it up very well, with an additional video on a Power Bilge Pump Demonstration.
"This is a one of a kind advancement for RC boating. Designed to bolt on and plug in to all V1 and V2 Thrashers. This system can also be mounted to any RC boat with an additional adaptor bracket sold separately. This bilge pump system utilizes a unique waterproof control module that senses if your RC boat is right-side up or upside down before it will trigger the bilge pump if water is sensed inside the boat. All controls, brackets, and wiring is included. There is no wiring or soldering required. This is a bolt on and plug in system. No additional channel is required. This is a fully automatic system" Here is a video directly from StreamlineRC to demonstrate this feature in action:
