Larry, One more addition to this info Running 2.4 I'd recomend going to 6 volt receiver packs. They'll do a better job with the system and give your servos a better punch. Just be sure the servos you use are rated for 6 volt. Many of the Futaba servos are for 4.8 volt only and in time...

Wow?? what's that "Se ya ALL" stuff?? movin south kinda rubbin off?? what's next country music?? :lol: Just kidd'n perty perty boat Grim!! How's that D-VII comin? gh

Marty, Great discussion topic, it will be interesting to see what will come out of this. Just more food for thought, when I designed my .21 boat I spent the better part of a season looking, listening and absorbing all I could. I ended up putting 1/2" offset to the left (as with your .21). Two...

Scott, great times and great racin!! heck of a good weekend especially with the water we had today! Thanks to all for making a super race weekend. I think we'll have to make comentary at least a towel class for next year. You and Ken H. doing the play by play really added a lot to the races...

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to change the topic of this thread, Chris started this about hardware and boat availability. I was just stressing the point that it's all a big numbers game, and the fact effort on all fronts is our key to success. We don't have to initially throw big numbers out, we...

I realize only a small fraction of the IMPBA membership know of the efforts now underway to organize a working relationship with the AMA. The main concern now is with the insurance issues but if successful the resourses that would become available to IMPBA to use towards marketing and promotion...

Bill, I carry 20 and 2, I go in at 2:00 four or five lap mill depending on lane and at the cool down lap I'm just getting into the 2 oz header. I wouldn't go less than that, you don't want to worry about fuel and trying to get a lane. sorry about the different post name. I'm Greg at work and...

Ron, As you know I go in at 1:30 to 1:40, I have 9 oz. on board. In the end I have 1 maybe 2 cranks on my fuel pump to empty (not much) Odonnell 65%, Odonnell 89 plug, Nova, Ghty carb Greg Hahn

Chris, Greg Hahn: 1/8 Scale, sport 20, on DSM Willis Lewis: B sport tunnel on DSM thanks See you there Greg

Terry, Good to hear you had a blast with the B boat. They are a lot of fun. To pull a 1450 it will probably have to be de-tounged to get it to launch and also make sure you're good to the rich side going in. That's a whole bunch of prop. Try a little cup in that 1445 you may be surprised...

Wes, Great job to you, Birthday boy, Brian S., Ken S. and all in Scale, you guys definately made it a close one!! no gimmee's in E-ville this week!! you're definately on for the winery, got to admit that was some fun racin when there's that many evenly matched boats! a coin toss would have...

Mikey, Willis, Suz and I will be there, willin to help where can. see you there gh

The only real difference we've noticed between the Futaba FF receiver and the FS is the resistance or ability to handle excess heat. This issue was first noticed in R/C cars with the FF receiver experiencing thermal shut down. I've had a couple buds experience the same problem in their scale...

Thanks man! Flyin planes is sort of my job, racin boats is my hobby B) . Good luck this weekend have a blast ;) , I gotta go fly but I'll be there in JUNE!! be safe! gh

David, The 603fs does have two antennas, one is about 5" long exiting the receiver case the other is a coil and stays inside the case. You will only see one. The 603ff does not have the coil. gh
