Equipped with high-quality GrimRacer parts for performance and durability!

An integral part of the AquaCraft line, GrimRacer parts and accessories are designed with one goal in mind: to maximize your boat's performance potential. Michael (Grimracer) Zaborowski has drawn upon his extensive and highly successful R/C racing experience to engineer equipment that meets – and exceeds – the highest quality standards. It truly is "Created BY boat racers, FOR boat modelers".

Precision-cast from copper-beryllium-titanium, the included GrimRacer metal prop won’t flex or shear — and needs no balancing or sharpening to deliver strong performance.

The CNC-machined, lightweight aluminum turn fins installed on the port and starboard sides provide the best straightaway and left/right handling.

Make precise adjustments to enhance your Rio 51’s handling in any water conditions using the GrimRacer stainless steel
trim plates.

The Rio 51’s black anodized, CNC-machined aluminum surface drive system is designed for low maintenance and efficient power delivery.

This water pickup tube sends cooling water to the engine and exhaust header.
