I think he is talking about how it gives a PEAK speed (like what you would get all out in a straightway) and then the actual speed at the time, ie you slow down to half throttle and it shows say 40 as your current speed. Whatever your peak is still shows up until you change models or turn off...

Having had one open, I know these receivers have 2 antennas. One is internal and goes to a little board on the underside of the top of the case. The other is the gray wire that you would run out of your box. (Sorry I just can’t get used to not running an antenna out of the boat). Both of these...

Agree 100%

Have you done anything with the switch? I was having some strange behavior on the throttle servo on my Slingshot recently. The throttle would operate normally but when I would start the motor, the throttle would ramp up and down without any input. Shut it off, the throttle would return to...

Now that I think about it, I did use a little fiberglass cloth on the outside for strength. So it wasn’t just epoxy, I used cloth too. Just on the outside of the belly pan, not in the engine well.

Sure attached are some pics. It’s just more of a relief than a reinforcement. The overall size is approx 2 1/4” wide by 4” long and you can see how I angled toward the front. It’s just 1/8” square spruce and 1/16” ply. Cut your hole in the bottom then glue the spruce sticks around it to create...

I’m sure it will be a great boat. I’m enjoying mine. Drives really nice. I use the Gizmo 29.5 and 30 plus in it both with billet cases and noticed it was dimpling the bottom of the tub and starting to crack. I just cut a 2x3 area out and added a 1/8” deep mini belly pan and that took care of...

Good luck on the kit. Just got mine on the water in late July. Below is a pic. If you go to the Cincinnati Model Boat Club Facebook Page, you’ll find a couple videos of it running during the last couple months.

Wes is very nice to deal with. He is very responsive to questions and/or issues with orders.

Did they give you the opportunity to certify your taxpayer status? I don’t agree with this BS at all but I think if you certify your SSN with PayPal, then this won’t occur. Doesn’t mean they won’t send you a friendly 1099 at the end of the year for amounts greater than 600.00. We all know...

That’s rolling along nicely. Not bad at all for a free boat plus some labor! Well done man!

I’m running a 29.5 in one of my Backlashes and it’s a rocket. I’m also interested to see what the 30 plus will do.

Beautiful boat Brad. Hey, there is a way to compress those videos to upload here. I use an app called Compressor. I’m sure there are others. I find I can compress a video that’s say 125-200 MB all the way down to 25-30 MB which then will upload to IW. It degrades the video quality a little...

Andy it’s hard to beat the Gizmo 29.5 or 30+ for the price they charge vs the others.

😂. Takes all kinds, I swear… Funny story man!

I use pulleys on the pull start end of all my boats. I literally hate pullstarters. Using a belt and electric starter just makes it so much easier, I don’t care what age you are. I’m physically capable of pull starting a boat, I just don’t want to. I haven’t raced since I got back in the...

Welcome Damon. Sundays seem to be the main day to run at our lake in Cincinnati. Surprisingly, yesterday, I was the only person there a lot of the day. A couple members showed for a bit but it was unusual. Maybe check with the club to get a feel for when some of the members like to run.

That sucks! The first time I started my Slingshot at the lake, I could tell I was gonna have a problem with the cowl. The engine vibration made the cowl slide back to the point where it would have blown off in the water. I had to tape it up by the lip to keep it on that day. Regardless of the...
