I know you guys in other countries have seen this for a while. But with the prices around the $2.30 range here in Spokane our club races have suffered. We have had 3 races scheduled so far and we normally have around 20 people show up. This year we are lucky if 5 people show up. I am in shock...

My question pertains to balance. So here is my story. I have been hoarding 21 Picco P-5 EXR`s and parts. A while back I bought one off e-bay that was extensively modified but pretty much worn out. The case was relieved, the crank was done and the back plate modified also. Now I am not really up...

As I am re-doing some of my tanks I was wondering. Years ago in Drag Racing when Big Daddy was smoking the competion he had a simple secret. His fuel line from the tank to the pump was bigger than anybody else`s. True Story. Has anybody experimented with this on our motors? Just wondering?

Ok, one of the things that gives me the most trouble is bending that tubing to get it in the tank. I just know there is a simple way to do this without kinking it. I am thinking that maybe finding a cable the right size and putting it inside then bending it would work but haven`t tried it yet...

Don F., Finally got out. Put the 260 on and left everything else alone. Miss B wouldn`t get on the pipe. Ran 50% Red Max. Anyhow I had a bunch of new boats to shake down so we only tried adjusting the needle. Plus the pond we used today was kind of small and I was worried that it would jump on...

My question about this stuff comes from a concern on after- run maintainance. I observed the district guys going to the trouble of taking there motors out of there boats and removing the backplates and flushing etc., there motors thru the backplates. I asked on of the engine/hardware builders...

Just read in the morning paper where Bud is pulling from the sport after this year. Ouch that`s got to hurt!!! Hope this doen`t open the doors for other sponsors to do the same. Anyhow just curious on some thoughts. Is the sport in financial trouble? The article in our paper suggested this could...

Have seen several posts lately of peoples web sites being down. I just tried to go to Grim`s site and it says I am not authorized. Yet if I go back to his post for head shims in the for-sale forum it lets me in to that part at least. Is there some new virus happening or what?

Yeah I took in all that you guys had to say last time I asked. I quess I have a thing about Hitec. Don`t mind usiing them on throttle and mixer but just not comfortable with the brand. Think Futaba`s are a bit over priced. I know you get what you pay for, that`s the bottom line. I happen to have...

I have had this boat for a couple of years and have not had a chance to run it, motor problems. Well now have the motor straightened out, I hope, and am wondering about these hulls. Here`s why, one of our club members has the 7.5 version and although it is fast if you even think about going...

OK, time to learn some more! I understand the heat ranges and the effect they have, essentiallly somewhat controlling ignition timing. My question is, does a brand new plug preform better than say one that has 20 runs on it. Assuming the used one has no visible damage. Not that I could afford to...

What is considered light for a 21 rigger. I have one that ways 3lbs 13oz. less fuel. I am totaly happy with it, handles great and is fast. The reason I am asking is the sister boat is available and only weighs 3lbs 5 3/4oz. The diference being mine is the old style in the rear, sponsons on the...

Anyone ever heard of this boat. Guy claims it can do 75 Plus with a CMB Race 21. Have to say I have somewhat of a relationship with this guy and there is a good chance his claim is true.

Just in case some aren`t aware. I have been getting bombarded the last week or so with these. They are getting really creative and have all the Logo`s, they almost had me fooled.

Does anyone no the Addy. Would like to get this years race schedule.

Heard you called a couple of times. I am a bad boy for not returning your calls. Just got home after a month plus on the road. Haven`t done anything with the Bird of Prey yet. Ordered some servoes, still waiting to get the motor back. Still frozen and snow covered here in Spokane. Thinking about...

So since what we do is about speed. How come I have seen no mention of anyone running Alky in their weedeaters. Is it because their is no class for this or just to dangerous/expensive?

Went to Legg Lake yesterday to check out some of the action here in Socal. My buddy has one of Kodaks newest digitals. Man is this camera impressive!!! It can be set to take sequential shots, 4 at a time, and then can blow up any part of the picture to a 4x mag. And all of this clear as a...

Is there anyone in the Spokane-Seattle area that might be willing to paint a new Villian for me. I work out of town so much it is now becoming aparent that I will not have either the time or the resources to get it done in time for next season. Nothing fancy, just a clear coat on the boat and...

Ya know I cruz boat sites all the time but can`t seem to find where all the RPM Rods are coming from. Can somebody please enlighten me. Years ago I remember a Richardson Precision Marine in San-Jose CA. I think!! Is this still the guy, does he have a web site?
