We have three big events scheduled for Gas Scale this year along with the rest of the normal PNWTA race schedule. All three special events are open to all scale racers and include GAS Scale - NITRO Scale and ELECTRIC Scale all running on the same day. The first event will be on July 19th at the...
Hi Ben After building many Gas Scale Hydros most with rear exhaust RCMK R-254 engines I have come to the conclusion that if I can make a side exhaust engine work that is how I build now. Main reasons are the RCMK electronics are marginal , side exhaust engines are easier to get and I bend more...
Greg- My Miss Vegas painted as the 1990 Oberto and two 1/8 scale photos - One as its about to be upside down. Lots of ideas for your Miss Vegas - Have some fun with it
Had to add the one with Art Oberto holding my 90 Oberto and me holding my 75 Oberto

Bob- Thanks for all the positive comments - We had a blast this year at the NW Scale Champ race. We have always used the venue to showcase different scale hydro classes and next year we will see if we can fit in some of the 1/10 scale electrics. The gas set-ups are all over the place from 26cc...

Mike,
Stay tuned - I'm working on a deal now that will make this hull /cowl available for sell. The hull was designed and built by Mike Bontof. I have been dialing it in this season and by far this has been the fastest and best behaved Gas Scale I have owned.

I will be adding all the drivers as time permits so stay tuned !!!!!!!!!!!
The little scale boats are replicas of the of the hulls that won the fist 9 years of the 1/8 scale nitro class - I will be adding Adam's Beacon Plumbing boat to the rest and making a permanent...

This Miss US was a one off build by Robbi Roberts with mods done by Fred - No glass hulls that I am aware of at this time
Marty
This is my latest build and she is very fast. We are still dialing in the balance of the hull with weight on the taped to sponson that will be added to the inside of the sponson during the off season
