Sanwa waterproof stuff

You might consider doing some thorough research because as the gas scales have developed over the last 2-3 years that they are going as fast and even faster than the 1/8 nitro boats. This extra speed has made it necessary to move the motors ahead to get the CG further forward to prevent blow...

House of Color seems to be the best prices, but all the neon seems to fade so it's hard to keep the boat looking good from just normal race rash. I actually try to find some vinyl and paint pens that matches my paint colors and that's what I use for repairs during the season. I'm looking...

Every time I see the eyes of Hakim Jeffries, Adam Schiff and Jack Smith the first thing I think of is that these guys have deep spiritual problems. There's always some nut waiting to take a protectee out and all you have to do to make it happen is leave gaps in the security. I don't know if...

If it's decretive for stacks try styrene, just don't overheat

Deep thoughts from Chuck Norris when he said that he at one time had a gender identity crisis, and it was because he too felt like he was a man trapped in a woman's body, then he was born.;)

I talked to Ken at the museum when RCU had their banquet there in March and asked about the status of this boat. I'm not sure how many Ed Karlson hulls like this one even remain anywhere. The museum is currently very interested in restoring and returning this boat to a running condition after...

Just ask the Australians who allowed themselves to be disarmed how that went for them.

It's amazing how these progressive left-wing nuts are always screaming about the conservatives "destroying democracy" when they are pulling crap exactly like this in supporting these heavy-handed government agencies that intimidate and strip people of their rights and government agencies that...

I'm not sure that this is the issue here, but I have found that good bearing life is also related to the technique of pickleing the motor after the race. Starting with disconnecting the fuel line at the carb and hooking up an ignitor up and rolling the motor over (assuming that the boat hadn't...

1/8th or 1/6th scale classes are based upon unlimited hydroplanes and the GP class would be a limited class.

I/8th scale wouldn't work if you wanted to race in the scale class, but they would be very cool Sport 40's

I have one, I will dig it out this afternoon or tomorrow and post some photos.

The Honda brings back a ton of memories as I hopped up a 750 for road racing. Clip ons, tank, shocks and forks along with cylinder head work for better flow and compression, bigger carbs and Yashamira headers and pipe and it was fast, yep almost as fast as a stock KZ 900 Kawasaki in a drag race:).

I have watched the Huskies all year and they had a great season, BUT I didn't watch last night. It's defense that wins championships at all levels of football and the Michigan defense was #1 and Washington was #97 and that was going to be that. For example, in the Super Bowl the #1 offense has...

Doug Kirk, longtime scale and District 8 racer lost his battle with cancer at 6:45 this morning. Doug entered into Hospice care on Saturday and has moved onto his new eternal home for the ages. Doug was a man that had his priorities straight when it came to model boat using. With Doug it was...

I prefer to use West Systems with the 205 quick hardener along with the 410 filler mixed until it's thick but still spreadable. Much more durable than bondo and still sands easy. A used utility knife blade makes a great precision spreader. Just make sure you've given the cowling a good...

K&S also makes 5/32" aluminum tubing that fits nicely over the 4-40 rod

Or go with waterproof gear and plug your battery straight into the receiver so there's no switch to fail at all.

A little loose is better than a little tight because you never want the drum to pinch the rod against the crank if the motor gets hot (too lean or no water) because it will wipe out the bearings, break the crank pin or the rod. You definitely want the rod to have 3-4 thousands of clearance on...
