I gatta say 'Thanks' and 'Kudos 2 everyone at D6'. ;D The racing was great and I fell in love even more with R/C boating. Everyone was fantastic and I really enjoyed meeting and talking to everyone. Ya can't find a better group of people....I'll be stoppin' by more often, and next year I plan...

Wow ;D....some stiff competition out there, and some stiff minded individuals (unfortunatly). It's a sad thing when someone takes their passion / hobby so seriously that they become narrow minded.....I don't know who this guy is Grimracer but, must I remind him that he too, used to be (if not...

;D Some friends and I are planning on coming up. What time do the races begin at the TCMBC?

GRIMRACER: Where/ what is the TCMBC pond? ???

Does ANYONE know where I can order some Octura props from? An address/website/phone#.....anything. NOBODY here in MN seems to carry them and intlwaters.com sites don't seem to have them either....or am I missing something? Everyone seems to have one but me (I feel so left out :'() Also are...

The actual shaft is 11/64" or a few scratches short of 3/16"...is this normal? The plans didn't give me an actual size so I had to use a drill bit guage. The max. prop dia can go just shy of 2". The current prop is 1 3/4"..don't know the pitch.

;D Sorry...nother qick question: What pitch do you think I should use for best performance with what I have?

where do you get an Octura bronze prop? ??? The shop here in town (ironically) sells boats but no accessories...nice huh! Tower Hobbies doesn't have 'em either. Is there an Octura prop # I can use to find one on the net? Also, ( :P I feel like a dumb@$$ for asking this) I noticed that they...

I'm runnin' a Dynamite .12SP in a Laser Line ABC Hobby SPBP outboard unit. I've read a lot of postings that mention how much more performance you can get out of a beryllium / s.steel prop and I'm looking to get more speed. I have a couple of newbie Q's: 1. Will a metal prop make much diff. in...

PP, I feel your pain :-. I'm new to engine break-in's as well. I have a LaserLine tunnel hull with a Dynamite .12 as well....maybe it's just me but, they seem to be a picky engine to break in. First Q: Are you using an electric starter? I had HUGE issues getting the thing to start without it...

Re:AAHAAHHHH!!!! Being the cheap person I am I went to Menards and bought up a 10' roll of clear vinyl tubing for $1.39, add 40 zip-ties for $1.16 and made a nice exhaust pipe that extends up about 3+ inches. Works wonderfully!! The engine doesn't heat up the exhaust head really bad cause like...

'Nother 2 newbie questions....thanks 4 helpin' everyone. --------------------------------------------- My Engine/Boat uses an outboard Dynamite Paris-Dished 12SP pull start on a tunnel hull LaserLine by ABC Hobby. #1) How do you prevent the propeller spray from shooting back up into your...

Re:AAHAAHHHH!!!! Switched to some new fuel, Blue Lightning stuff (sorry don't have it here at work with me)...recommeded by the Dynamite crew (I have a Dynamite Paris-Dished 12SP). That got it going but, I'm still having some locking problems. I'm gonna give Jeff K's recommendations a try, it...
