This can go for any brand of tunnel hull, But I have an Aerotech with a CMB 45 on the back of it and would it be beneficial to cut out the tank platform and mount the tank on the bottom of the hull or just mount it on the platform. Mounting the tank on the bottom of the hull would lower the...

Yes they would be less power that the current approved motors but, my intentions are to open the class up to more legal motors. For a person just wanting to try and convert an old nitro boat they have laying around, buying a TP Power at $130 verses a Plett at $800 is a lot more feasible just to...

Mike, What kind of mold release are you using?

Since you are building an electric boat, there is no need of using the expensive base coat/clear coat automotive paints. Rattle cans will do just fine. But if you want to go with the auto paint, House Of Kolor or PPG 2021 are very good clear coats.

Bought this motor to do some testing in my 1/8th Scale but I can't find a 39mm water jacket for it. I bought a 40mm thinking it would work but it fits very loose and won't work. Anybody know where to get a 39mm jacket at? Buddy

There again, I am talking about the IMPBA 1/8 Scale FE Rules. Also Brian, you have a PM.

Here is one on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/rc-nitro-boat-motor-rigger-package-mac-45-and-compepition-marin-design-hardware-/253508293100?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10

Not going to make it to Johnston City. I'll get it at our next meeting.

If Ron takes the carb, I'll give you $100 for the rest of it. Buddy

Here is what our lake looks like as of last Saturday. They are also working on the overflow at the north end of the lake. They will be raising it 3+ feet so the water level when itis full should be up to the stakes in front of the drivers stand. But it all depends on mother nature

I saw on a for sale add that the Mutt Sport 40 is not going to be made any more. Is this true? Who currently owns the molds for this boat?

This thread is getting a little off topic. I was trying to understand why the electric 1/8 scale is limited to 3 motors. The other scale classes in IMPBA ( 1/8 Scale Nitro & Gas Scale) have a size limit on the motor but you can run any brand you want to. I feel this is the way 1/8 Scale Electric...

Hey Jeff, That's not the one your supposed to be working on . It's this one.

Haven't been able to get on here for a while. Thanks for all the comments. I don't see any use for limiting the brand of motors that are to be used. I personally think it should be a size limit and if you want to run a $500 motor with a $600 controller then so be it. On the other hand you can...

Looking at the current IMPBA rules.

Been reading up on the rules for 1/8 Scale and saw there is only 3 brands of motors that are legal to run. With all the different choices and price ranges of motors out there, why 3 brands? Wouldn't it be beneficial to the class if it was just a size limit like nitro has? That way racers could...

I bought the molds from Dean Werges. Phil Thomas always called it "Brand X" but Dean called it "Extreme" . It looks similar to an AC sport 40 only smaller. Kenny Hildreth has a couple of them so does Wes Elliot. They run very good and as soon as I get my vacuum bagging equipment I plan on making...

Thanks guys. I have a P limited tunnel and I also have an Aerotech 45 tunnel with a TP 4060 motor attached to a K&B lower that is setup for 5s. I just thought since I lay up my own scales, I would try one of those too with the 5s batteries hooked up in series. Things have changed now, I just...

Need some opinions on what HV ESC to get. I am wanting to build a 10s boat just to play with. More than likely it will be an 1/8 scale since I lay up my own boats. I really don't want an ESC that brakes the bank, if you know what I mean. I have seen these and are they any good...

What can I say, With friends like you two BTW: Happy Birthday Mark
