WEBVTT 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:17.720 Welcome to another RC Arctic Hobby unboxing. This is the Aqua Rider 703 00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:20.800 tugboat. And I know I 00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:23.160 said I know I said that the excavator 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:30.800 was the last Arctic Hobby RC vehicle that I was going to take a 00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:35.120 look at, but the Aqua Rider beckoned and 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:38.960 uh I had to heed its siren call. Oh my 00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:38.960 goodness, this thing is 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:51.360 hilarious. Yes, that is the color scheme. It is red, black, green, yellow, 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.719 blue, brown, and silver. So, give me a 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:56.320 second. Oh, actually, hold on. We can see the accessories that are included up 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 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. 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.119 We've got all these tires, which go around the outside of the boat. Um, see, 00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:11.360 you can see there's lots and lots of tires. Uh, we also found the battery 00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:15.840 compartment. So, here's where the receiver is connected to channels one 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:19.680 and two. And then we've also got a receiver crystal that matches the 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:23.960 transmitter crystal that was included. So, that means we can use uh an 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:30.159 aftermarket transmitter with this particular boat here. Um, we've also got 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.880 the power lead for the battery, the battery 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:37.119 pack, the rope for tying up the tires, a 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.320 rope for presumably towing things. I mean, we've got a little hook here 00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.799 that's seems to be fairly securely attached. And it is like, you know, a 00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:48.399 tugboat. So, my assumption is that you can actually tug something with it. Uh, 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 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:56.720 antenna through the tube here. And we're going to try and figure out where the 00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.759 where this is actually going to go because once we put this back on, you 00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:04.159 can see there actually aren't any holes for us to to thread this through. So, 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. 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:14.480 So, that took forever. Um, Arctic Cooling includes a lot of extra tires. 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.120 My guess is that for the tugboat enthusiast, um, they might want to take 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.480 these tires and put them around like the, uh, the barge that they attach to 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. 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. 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.920 Uh, we showed you the interior. This is really cool. Check out the dry dock that 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:41.440 it comes with. So, it's got little rubber grippy things here and the name 00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:43.599 the Southampton. And then it fits on uh 00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:46.560 pretty nicely so you can uh you know keep it nice and solid while you're 00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:50.720 working on it and you know doing whatever it is tugboat enthusiasts do. 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:56.160 Uh this seals off all of the electrical components from the places where they 00:02:54.160 --> 00:03:01.040 Oh, hold on. This looks indicating something to me. Ah, yes. Excellent. Um 00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:07.000 so this seals off all the electrical stuff from where water might get at it. 00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:10.800 Hopefully it seals it well. There is a 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.840 um like a neoprene seal around there. 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.360 Okay, so this guy goes in here. So, 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.400 we're putting the tugboat back together at this point now that we 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:26.159 have. Hold on. Apparently, I'm doing something wrong again. 00:03:23.959 --> 00:03:30.879 Okay. Yeah, something about something about rope. Oh, the wires in the way. 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. 00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:44.400 Yeah, I know, right? Okay, so uh that's reattached. Our extra tires are 00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:46.720 deposited gracefully on the deck. And uh 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.480 so here's our included battery and we are ready 00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:53.920 to go with the Southampton. Now, something to bear in mind, guys, is this 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.080 one does not come with a remote. So you have to get a transmitter, and then 00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:05.360 you're going to use this crystal in order to um pair the transmitter to the 00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:08.080 tugboat. itself. So, we'll be unboxing 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:14.879 that one and then trying this guy out hopefully uh on a lake or pond or 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:16.959 bathtub near you. So, one more kind of 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.560 close look. So, you can see there's like little steering wheel or whatever it's 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 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:31.120 of little, you know, cute little ladders and stuff like that. And uh pretty 00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:33.440 robust looking propeller system going on 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:37.840 down here. So hopefully this guy can actually, you 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.919 know, haul itself and something else at a reasonable speed. So thank you for 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.199 checking out my unboxing of the AR73.
