Excellent advice Andy. Thanks for that. Joe

We like to use the 670 prop, 3 inch header and skeg strut on ours. I think that the "any stock engine" is a D14 thing, and a darn good idea. Here is my take: If you want to be the guy that goes out to lap the field and pound your chest, go for it. We welcome all. If you want to have a good...

There were boats there?

Our early rudders had kind if small entry holes, and it's a long way to the front of a Tboat... Open up the inlets to 1/8 and you will get lots of pressure. All gas rudders made in the last year or so have the larger inlets... Joe

Stan is right on the nose. No tapered rudders, even though we sell one. The tapered rudder produces lift- a bunch of it. Lift in the tail lets the prop walk all it wants. Use a straight rudder, as wide and deep as you can. Trim a little at a time if you feel you need to. The JAE boats like to...

Joe Petro Thunderboat Crackerbox (stock) Gas mono Gas Rigger Tug Boat All 2.4

Yep. Had a great time! Very well run event. I will be back for more! Joe

If you don't let me win, I will toss your boat in upside down, a-la Fred...

Put me down for: Thunderboat Crackerbox Gas Mono/ Open Gas if available All 2.4 Joe

I am bringing my Crackerbox with a stock 26cc engine and pipe... Anyone else up for some stock engine, 40 mph Cbox racing? I also have a 40 inch Dumas Scrab with no engine, radio or hardware. If anyone else has an old, beat up empty mono hull, it would be an excellent "towee" in the towboat...

My father used to say (about business) "no matter what the issue, increased sales will cure it". While not 100% accurate, I fully understood what he was saying, and I think that we can apply that here. An increase in membership will cure this issue. I say we start seriously finding ways to...

I had an amazing time! First time in Madison. Even though every single nut, bolt and set screw fell out of the Thunderboat, I still had a heck of a good time. This race had a really nice atmosphere. Kind of refreshing to have fun again. It seems like it has been lacking for a long time. I will...

Let's see the retrieve boat...

I ran the Eagle Tree inside of a wood radio box, under a wood deck. GPS module inside the box with the telemetry antenna outside (why two antennas on the boat was a common question). No trouble with 6V either. I did find that the GPS takes longer to update when you travel to a different area...

Hi Mike, I plan to come down, and this is what I am bringing (if I get them done...) Joe Petro Thunderboat- 2.4 Gas Mono- 2.4 Crackerbox- 2.4 IMPBA 11221

We have them on our Facebook fan page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Zippkits/

They have not been released yet. I have a prototype and Don Harwood in California has a twin prototype. As soon as we have a little more setup info, they will be released. Joe

Looking for a 7016/2. Maybe two if the price is right. I lost my last one... TIA, Joe

Does IMPBA receive at least a portion of the sales?
