Hi Curtis I have a measuring tool Grim Racer that I will give you along with the pipe. Give me a call and maybe we can meet someplace half way. 715 308 1613 Later. Bill

Start at 8.25 and go from their. That is measured from the plug to the weld. I have a pipe I will give to you next time I see you. It's awesome on an OS Later. Bill Wachtler

Tim, you don't run a fast electric tunnel. I am running 5000 MA packs and I don't come close to using all that is available. If you think we need a battery rule for the club lets talk about it at the winter meeting. I really don't care if someone is running 6000 packs, but, I checked our FE...

Hi Tim If you are going to travel you will have to be in the low to mid 50,s. Sean and Doug are coming to our Sept 28th race and if you can run with them you can run with anyone. See you Saturday. Bill

I need one, can't afford one. Good luck, hope you have a great time. Bill

Hi Tony, I am running a Vision and it works very well. That said, a Top Speed Three also appears to be a good choice as it has a lot room for all your electrical gear, is affordable, available, and is a good running hull when set up properly. Bill

Does sitting at a storage rate effect the life of the battery? I don't test much and only heat race my boats. With running about six races a year my packs spend most of the time at a storage level. Should this be figured into the mix when purchasing a premium pack or a middle of the road pack...

Tim Mike is right. My bad on the Aqua esc. Timing can't be changed. Bill

Hi Tim You may also want to check your timing. I puffed a gens Ace when I had the timing at 15 degrees. Backed off to 7.5 degrees and problem went away. Also no apparent lose of speed. I was running a M445 with a UL-1 motor. Hope this helps. Bill

Doug I agree on the mill time. It would fix some off the problems Bill

I am new to FE racing and run the limited classes. I think their is way more carnage in FE than in nitro ( all I have to do is look at my boats ). I think part of it is lack of respect to the fellow competitors, part of it is a flip or crash still gives you a 50% chance of landing upright and...

Had a great time, as always. Thanks to all who helped and made this run so well. Thanks to the cooker ladies to. Bill Wachtler

I think the FE crowd from Wisconsin is coming to. We should start thinking about unloading and then parking at the south end. We will also need to really keep things moving as I think we are going to have the most boats I have ever seen at one of our club races. Going to be fun for sure. See...

If you are running a FE boat and are thinking you might want to see what racing is all about you now have the opportunity. The Twin Cities Model Boat Club will be running three FE classes at our race on May 20th in Eagan Minnesota. Come and visit us, watch the races and ask questions. Better yet...

Club points race #1. IMPBA pond. Nitro, Gas, and Electric classes. Three boats to make a heat. Nichols Pond in Eagan, Minnesota. Go to TCMBC.ORG for directions. Racing starts at 9:00AM. Three to four rounds of racing depending on time.

I think they need to add it. I am new to FE but it seems the Limited class is the fastest growing. I remember when their was no sport tunnel class either and now that is more popular than B tunnel in IMPBA. Just my two cents Bill

Ouch! Thanks Patrick, Maybe I will reconsider. Bill

I have a four cell Gens Ace hard case I want to use in my tunnel. Room is an issue. Is it possible to remove the hard case and run the battery without it? Any Information will be appreciated. Thanks Bill

Mic, I understand, I agree that with what we have it is impossible to do what I would like to do. The whole idea of this post is to get people thinking about where our hobby is and where it is going. We have to examine why our boat counts are down and it's not all about the economy. Look around...
