The Wave Chopper 2.0 captures the original spirit of the water bike in a compact 1/6 scale model while adding contemporary RC reliability. Its mix of classic styling and modern components makes it a fun option for on-water hobby sessions.
This model uses a G14L water-jacketed 550-class motor along with the KYOSHO SPEED HOUSE KA60-91W controller to keep temperatures down and maintain steady acceleration. Hull features like the kick-up rudder and a low-resistance stern tube help the craft slice through water with better efficiency.
The ABS hull arrives pre-assembled with a painted PVC rider figure and scale decals. A waterproof radio compartment and sealed speed controller add protection, while a rigid suspended motor mount improves drivetrain efficiency and reliability.
To get afloat, install four AA batteries into the transmitter, charge the included 7.2V-2200mAh NiMH battery, and bind the KT-231P+ transmitter. Control setup is straightforward and the model can reach around 24 km/h under favourable conditions.
The Kyosho Wave Chopper 2.0 is an accessible scale model that appeals to collectors and weekend pilots looking for a compact, ready-to-run watercraft.
