Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Pro Boat™ 1/12 Miss Budweiser Unlimited Hydroplane. You are
just minutes from one of the most thrilling experiences that the radio control hobby has to offer.
The Pro Boat Miss Budweiser is a professionally built, ready-to-run 1/12-scale fiberglass model of one of the
most competitive teams on the Unlimited Hydroplane tour. Powered by the potent Dynamite® .15S marine
engine, you will be able to race across the water at scale speeds in excess of 300mph!
Read this owner’s manual thoroughly. You also need to read the included Dynamite .15S engine
manual, along with the JR® Python radio system manual.
It is very important that you operate this boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be
able to enjoy your Miss Budweiser for many years to come.
Carefully unpack Miss Budweiser and examine the boat and its contents. The contents contain the Miss
Budweiser RTR with radio installed, a boat stand, and the JR Python radio transmitter If you are missing any
of these items or notice any damage, immediately contact the place of purchase.
Warning
Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is clear. If someone else is operating on the same
frequency, both models could go out of control, possibly causing damage to the models, as well as to others.
Be certain to check all of the hardware, exhaust system, and propeller, making sure that all are secure before
and after each run. Always keep clear of the propeller when the engine is running!
When you first begin to run your Miss Budweiser, place in water with engine running at approximately 1⁄4
throttle. Slowly increase throttle until boat accelerates onto plane. Gradually increase throttle to no more
than 1⁄2 until you become more familiar with the boat. Remember, this boat makes right turns only!
When operating this model, stay clear of people, full-sized boats, stationary objects, and wildlife. Also, watch
out for fishing lines that could get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate the Pro Boat™ Miss
Budweiser in low wake, low wind conditions and in areas free of people, objects, and wildlife. We also suggest
that you do not run the Miss Budweiser in salt water.
If at any time while operating your Miss Budweiser you sense any abnormal function, end your operation
immediately. Do not operate your Miss Budweiser again until you are certain the problem has been
corrected.
Because this is a scale high-performance model, the Miss Budweiser has been set up to turn to the right
only! Do not attempt left turns or you will flip the boat. If you need to turn left, reduce throttle
and turn in a very large diameter oval.
