Were at my local hobby shop to buy the venom temp meter with actual and highest reading, but they say, venom has closed down and they cant get hold of it (They had in stock). Think I must try another hobby shop.

Saw at my local hobby shop, the venom temperature monitor. Works with a wire that coils around your cooling head. Dont know how effective they r because temperature must be measured at the glow plug. Think I must maybe install that venom, run or idle the boat on the workbench, measure the temp...

I hear this guy say 104 degrees celcuis and the other 110 degrees celcuis. How do u measure a boat engine temp. I have one of those big lazer temp guns that is accurate to the dot and were very costly that I used on my trucks & cars. Do you guys use the temp monitor with the wire that u atach...

Thanks guys - something else - can I use a 2 blade on this mono or is the 3 blades the best or when do u use a 2 blade or 3 blade - Different water conditions or what?

If you want to install a oiler(ordered a arrowshark oiler), must you take out the liner.

What is the pros and cons of running your flex shaft with or without a teflon liner?

Thanks guys, yes also thought about a x440 and that pipe is actually made for a .21/.25 so I must get another one. Have ordered one and also a oiler for the flex shaft.

Hi all, my new V. Got a lot of info from Wennie & Gerald - Thanks guys. The hobbyshop here gets it from tflhobbys and say its a knight, It looks like a arrowshark flying dragon or a smaller version of the Osprey. Would like to know with what names you guys can came up with. 840mm from bow to...

Hi all. Maybe a dumb question, but here it goes. What is the purpose of the allen key nut on the collet (See attached Photo)

Can someone please give me some info on the Osprey V Hull 26cc gas boat. Have the basic details, but would like to know how it runs and if its value for money.

Hey, were at that hobby shop, very nice oke. That 57" Fighter is mine - its big, long and beautifull, but will come in 2 months time. The other boat that im interested in is a V, about 800 - 850mm long, nice boat, they actually have a couple of guys running that with good results with a .28...

My bandit are standing for the last 3 weeks, been working a double nightshift - think the plastic are starting to rust from all the hybernation B) . Off on Monday and Tuesday - going to the city to another hobbyshop that Wennie told me about to check out the new 2009 arrowshark range. A few...

Gene can you post some more pics on that stand - I will maybe come right with that fittings on next week when I go threw to the city - place called builders warehouse in South Africa, they have those pvc fittings. But if you guys know about any other boat stands, wooden or plastic - please post...

Were at all our hardware stores and the smallest t pieces and L pieces is 50mm. Everybody told me that I will not get 20 or 25mm fittings in South Africa - so thats a lost case - but thanks anyway

Good day all. Hope u can help me with a stand. I want to build one of that pvc stands. I can get 20-25mm pvc pipe, but the t-pieces and that 90 degree bends only come with the inspection holes with the cover on(Used for electrical wiring) and will look stupid on a boat. What must I ask for or...

Tried to phone Gary a couple of times, but he is always out of the shop. Am planning to go there on next Monday - just 130kays from my house. Looking for a V with a .21 motor.

The bandit is running fine, must maybe just give a bit of negative pitch on the motor - bow is a bit high and with some wind, think it will flip. Asked this question before - What is a nice play around rough water boat, some poeple say the V`s are okay, must be nitro - I want names.

Alden - Will check that prices for you on Thursday and what the cost will be for shipping.

No the carb is sorted - Im running nitro engines for 11 years now, mostly monster trucks (My favourite one were the TT EK4 with the .70BX motor thats usualy used on helicopters). No the thing was that I were a bit stupid - the .21 did not want to rev up straight away, so I leaned out the...

Thanks guys. Ja the first tank of fuel my prop was over tight and I figured it out when I replaced the shaft and that whole shear pin assembly was like in seized - when I replaced everything that day and tighten the prop, I felt that there was a problem and loosen the prop a bit and yes my prop...
