New Warehouse Hobbies mono

[Ron Olson]

Warehouse Hobbies just started a contest for their new gas mono. Like the title says, if they like the name that you submit, you get the second one out of the mold autographed by Tony!

The new design appears to be a first for Tony as it is much sleeker and good for 60 MPH racing.

If you win the hull it only comes as a bare hull but if you want to use their hardware on it you also get those parts greatly discounted.

Oh well i tried mine was the Titan

 

[user 6591]

I submitted a bunch~ but my favorite one that i gave them was "NovaWake"

 

[Ron Olson]

Titan was already taken by Aeromarine.

I submitted a few myself which I thought were cooler than Silex. it sounds too much like Solex (carbs, etc.) and Tilex (bathroom cleaner).

One that I submitted did sound like a camera, Eos, the Goddess of the Dawn.

It's too bad that they (IMO) made a funky looking old-school hatch for it though.

mine was Curare

 

[Ron Olson]

mine was Curare

That sounds a lot better than Silex!

Interesting name. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about "Silex"

And good old Webster defines it this way:

And I hope these guys don't get wind of the name:

And I wonder if the winner is from here:
