BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA........................LMAO
Yes it can and is being done.Everyone is talking about enforcing rules.
What about discussing making power using less nitro.?
People can figure out how to do it that is all part of the "fun".
Just knowing it can be done is enough to energize people to "do the work" and figure it out.
If people want to share the results of the hard work they put in to to get there that is up to them.....
BOOM!.. TK is DEAD ON.. COST IS NOT THE ISSUE!
Remember back in the 60s and 70s when a servo was 40 to 60 bucks.... and fuel was 12 bucks a gallon.. now.. servos are 12 bucks and fuel is 40 - 60 bucks.. sure we piss away the fuel.. but MONEY is not the issue here..
I have been told I am "Drinking the cool aid" for saying this.. BUT.. whatever!.. I like Grape! so what.
Your TIME IS BEING waisted on tech.. you are becoming... ARE... a CYBORG BECAUSE of your phone... the rest of the garbage is Facebook, you-tube and all that crap very few can keep there noses out of... why spent money on work when you can buy a phone..
Ewew... did you know you can buy a drone that flys itself!.. yep... Ewew... that sounds ^#%#%#$ LIKE FUN! LOL.. B O R I N I N G.... Great as a "tool" but as a "hobby" that you can have risk and reward and time into.. Hahhhhhh LOL.. so funny to me... but that IS ALSO YOUR competition!
Now from BLAMMMO. The RC boat you program and race... includes, Ludacris speed, crash avoidance and on board slow mo video! WOW.... all at a safe distance as you sit in your car and social distance from others.. WOW.. just think of the rest you will get as you sleep lap after lap! Get yours NOW!

here in the uk outlets are selling Nitro to those who are licenced upto and above £70 ($96) !!!!! gal CRAZY RIGHT ....Food for thought.
Nitro is running about US$40 a gallon these days so 60% fuel has about $24 worth of nitro. Cut back to 30% and you're saving a whole $12 a gallon!
Cut back to no nitro at all and you might as well just run gas...
Nitro is not the most expensive part of R/C fuel. Klotz is currently listed as $57/gal on their website.Food for thought.

And I agree. I think what would be just as important(if not more so) is to keep our hobby/sport under the government's radar. When you look at what's going on with the FAA and R/C aircraft, the last thing we need is to attract the kind of attention that is being shown due to the some of the AMA's ill-advised actions and those that think FPV and BVLOS give the operator the right to do whatever they want. If we, as boaters, don't stay under the radar, we could be looking at being regulated out of existence, something those that fly are already fearing and, if that does happen, it won't be a matter of how much nitro is in the fuel as much as finding a place to run that won't get us fined or arrestedCringe....
What next mandatory 2.4 radio systems?
Keep pushing away current members in hopes of gaining new membership is not a good way to go about this guys. This has been stated by myself and few others on here recently, the biggest thing we can do to grow our hobby is Technology at and away from the pond, not trying to cut cost with new rules that will push away few of us left...
In reality of this discussion sounds like many of you are already lowering your nitro % content and are just as fast which is great for you but not everyone is just going to willing want to do that, this is still the USA right? If someone wants to run 50-60-70-80% nitro well then by God they have the freedom to do that just the same way someone can run 40%...
Added rules, classes, and politics have hurt this hobby badly over the last 20 years not costs!!! Doesn't seem like many of you understand that and keep wanting to reinvent the wheel with more rules,regulations, and additional classes.
Danny by no means is this directed at you just FYI!
Happy boating see yall in ATL 4 weeks from today
Sooooooo (REDIRECT) We have seen the results of drinking the contents of a Lava lamp and in turn have gone way off "into the weeds. I have to ask.....
What is the best keyboard/mouse combo for keyboard racing? Not asking for secret details on set up, wrist/arm braces etc. Just a good starting point. Is using copious amounts of controlled substances allowed? Would that be considered performance enhancing?
I Must also comment on the Gas boat driver ability comment(s) Gas racers are not inherently better because of anything but doing more laps and driving for longer periods of time. . A gas boat can run MUCH longer allow for more time to screw up and develop skills. Much less maintenance more time on the water.
For those lacking a sense of humor, or who take themselves wayyyy too serious amongst fellow boaters. you may hurt yourself emotionally or even physically, conjuring hate as a result of this post.
Also congrats to those responsible for turning Danny's thread into a Fecal Festival.
