Welcome!

A few notes.. If you hands are larger you will want to make a little extra room around the handle to get a better grasp. The black 3D Printed well on the top is for a line plug (so ya dont drop it in the grass) Thats all.. works a charm. (I did machine a G10 cap insert and used some Lure Locks...

Also a catalyst paint.. USE the proper respirator.

LOOKS GREAT!

This is mine.. grim

Are those TPU? Something to ponder. One might print those in white. Reason is when the boat dumps over and the box quickly cools from water contact is when a good "water resistant" seal is challenged. I kind of dig this.. Grim

YEP!.. and do not even THINK about sanding it out and trying paint it.. it will fish eye over the areas where the chunks are Grim

Bill was raised by his grandmother not far from the Indianapolis motor speedway. He loved that race and was large part of his love for motor sports.. He would talk about his football career and how when he was training he would try to pick gofers out of the holes in the field by his house. (LOL)...

PLA's will continue to absorb water (hence they need not be recycled) and just for instance. A PLA printed object submerged in water will start to fall apart in as little as 5-7 days. They become brittle and break. I suspect you have see this on a older spool. The design looks sturdy and well...

good golly I hope those are ABS.. AT A MINIMUM.. In my experiences there is ZERO percent chance I am putting 10K worth of boats on 3D printed parts.. I SO HOPE YOU PROVE ME WRONG! Grim

Would make my day.. I have buried myself in projects I cannot get out of. TRUST me when I say. I miss all you boat nuts! Have a great race! Grim

Good luck to all the RACERS! Grim

Kris, Pinch test the low speed.. there are a bunch of videos on that out there. (it will get you close) Over last number of years I have been using the OS#8 plug in the motor.. (wont be switching anytime soon!) Grim

I have ran 50MPH with or without.. but Alex is right.. go ahead and remove the shim if its in the motor. Grim

Good note Jerry, (hope you are well) The first time I saw Steve's scale run I was like.. "I just saw something special". Man that guy can tune a boat! Grim
