1 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:17,720 Welcome to another RC Arctic Hobby unboxing. This is the Aqua Rider 703 2 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:20,800 tugboat. And I know I 3 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,160 said I know I said that the excavator 4 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:30,800 was the last Arctic Hobby RC vehicle that I was going to take a 5 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:35,120 look at, but the Aqua Rider beckoned and 6 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:38,960 uh I had to heed its siren call. Oh my 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,960 goodness, this thing is 8 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:51,360 hilarious. Yes, that is the color scheme. It is red, black, green, yellow, 9 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,719 blue, brown, and silver. So, give me a 10 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,320 second. Oh, actually, hold on. We can see the accessories that are included up 11 00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:59,520 here. No, give me a second to get these uh to get these opened up, and then 12 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,879 we'll we'll have a look at it. So, we're doing a bit of an in progress shot here. 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,119 We've got all these tires, which go around the outside of the boat. Um, see, 14 00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:11,360 you can see there's lots and lots of tires. Uh, we also found the battery 15 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,840 compartment. So, here's where the receiver is connected to channels one 16 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,680 and two. And then we've also got a receiver crystal that matches the 17 00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:23,960 transmitter crystal that was included. So, that means we can use uh an 18 00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:30,159 aftermarket transmitter with this particular boat here. Um, we've also got 19 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,880 the power lead for the battery, the battery 20 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,119 pack, the rope for tying up the tires, a 21 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,320 rope for presumably towing things. I mean, we've got a little hook here 22 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,799 that's seems to be fairly securely attached. And it is like, you know, a 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,399 tugboat. So, my assumption is that you can actually tug something with it. Uh, 24 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,960 what else have we got going on here? Ah, I'm working on trying to get the uh 25 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,720 antenna through the tube here. And we're going to try and figure out where the 26 00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:59,759 where this is actually going to go because once we put this back on, you 27 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,159 can see there actually aren't any holes for us to to thread this through. So, 28 00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:10,160 um, that's our in progress. So, give us a little while here, guys, and we'll get this all set up. 29 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,480 So, that took forever. Um, Arctic Cooling includes a lot of extra tires. 30 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,120 My guess is that for the tugboat enthusiast, um, they might want to take 31 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,480 these tires and put them around like the, uh, the barge that they attach to 32 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:29,040 their tugboat. So, we haven't really taken a close look at it yet, but I'll show you guys. Here's the antenna. 33 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,120 Here's the mounting uh, point for it. Okay, so here's it coming out the top. 34 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,920 Uh, we showed you the interior. This is really cool. Check out the dry dock that 35 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:41,440 it comes with. So, it's got little rubber grippy things here and the name 36 00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:43,599 the Southampton. And then it fits on uh 37 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,560 pretty nicely so you can uh you know keep it nice and solid while you're 38 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,720 working on it and you know doing whatever it is tugboat enthusiasts do. 39 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:56,160 Uh this seals off all of the electrical components from the places where they 40 00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:01,040 Oh, hold on. This looks indicating something to me. Ah, yes. Excellent. Um 41 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:07,000 so this seals off all the electrical stuff from where water might get at it. 42 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:10,800 Hopefully it seals it well. There is a 43 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,840 um like a neoprene seal around there. 44 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,360 Okay, so this guy goes in here. So, 45 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,400 we're putting the tugboat back together at this point now that we 46 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:26,159 have. Hold on. Apparently, I'm doing something wrong again. 47 00:03:23,959 --> 00:03:30,879 Okay. Yeah, something about something about rope. Oh, the wires in the way. 48 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:37,440 Ah, there we go. Good work, Slick. Okay, so that's why we pay him the big bucks. 49 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:44,400 Yeah, I know, right? Okay, so uh that's reattached. Our extra tires are 50 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,720 deposited gracefully on the deck. And uh 51 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,480 so here's our included battery and we are ready 52 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,920 to go with the Southampton. Now, something to bear in mind, guys, is this 53 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,080 one does not come with a remote. So you have to get a transmitter, and then 54 00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:05,360 you're going to use this crystal in order to um pair the transmitter to the 55 00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:08,080 tugboat. itself. So, we'll be unboxing 56 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:14,879 that one and then trying this guy out hopefully uh on a lake or pond or 57 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,959 bathtub near you. So, one more kind of 58 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:20,560 close look. So, you can see there's like little steering wheel or whatever it's 59 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,960 called in a boat. I don't know what a steering wheel is called in a boat. Lots 60 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:31,120 of little, you know, cute little ladders and stuff like that. And uh pretty 61 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:33,440 robust looking propeller system going on 62 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:37,840 down here. So hopefully this guy can actually, you 63 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,919 know, haul itself and something else at a reasonable speed. So thank you for 64 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,199 checking out my unboxing of the AR73.
