Hi All, Webpage now up for the new Top Speed 3. http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/boats/aqub0007-top-speed-3/index.html First shipment scheduled to arrive at the end of July 10'. Thanks, Russ

With all the different racing classes and none of them being called what they really are, by both orgs, seems like both orgs could at least call each class the same thing. In doing so, at least when a newbie learns what a particularly class is in one org., it would be the same in the other...

Hope everybody has a great 4th of July. Be careful in your travels and have fun! Russ

Recently at the World Tunnel Hull Championships the scoring was done with the top 5 going to an "A" main. The next in-line ran in the B-main. Winner of the B goes on to race in the "A" main. I understand why it was done at this race and the CMB club did a great job with this format. When I...

The chat room is really good, cool stuff!

Like to set the record straight; There has been rumor AquaCraft will not sponsor races in the future. How in the world this was started, no idea. AquaCraft will continue to help promote, sponsor, donate product, etc., to races to help promote races and the marine market and to say thanks to...

Like for all on IW to be the first to know; Come Sept. 1st AquaCraft/GrimRacer will have new 15", 17" and 19" starting belts available!!!! You will see these are the same as we all have come to know in the past, except for the color. They will be an opaque/white in color. Grim and I have been...

Trying to find information about the NAMBA FE Nationals. Anybody heard anything yet? Thanks, Russ

This weekend Jerry Dunlap will be at the RCX Show and running the new AquaCraft U-18 Miss Vegas (previously Miss Elam) on the demo pond. If you are near L.A., this is a good show to go check out. Have Fun! Russ

Possible new name for the new AquaCraft Sport .18 Hydro. What do you think of U-18 Miss Vegas? We have searched hundreds of names and ideas.....either they have been used or not usable..... Have fun! Russ

Hi all, The AquaCraft .18 hydro will no longer be called the "Miss Elam". The Ellstrom's gave some sort of deal with Horizon (I'm guessing it has to do with money) to use their name on a their miss bud hull AFTER they gave us permission to use their U-16 Miss Elam trim scheme. When we started...

This morning Tacoma, Washington was hit by high winds and a large fur tree fell on Jerry D's house, plus trees across roads, etc. JD and family ok, luckly was not in the house when the tree fell as it went through the roof and branches completely through both second and first floors. Word is...

Trying to find the 3M catalog number for the #5 Electrical Tape, which most love to use for radio box tape. Does anyone know the 3M catalog number for this #5 Clear Electrical Tape? Any help would be greatly appriciated! Thanks! Rw P.S. Not able to find/indentify on the 3M website.......

Question for all; If you could have your choice of materials (forget cost limitations for the moment, within reason:) props could be made out of, what would it be? Let's think outside the lines here of the normal. Is there a material and/or raw goods you would love to have props made out of...

In a previous post it was mentioned about how IMPBA and NAMBA use the alphabet soup to label engine sizes. I think this topic validates its own thread:) This was brought up when JD and myself went to both the IMPBA and NAMBA Nationals. Mainly because of my personal confusion (again:) for what...

To all IMPBA members, As per the September 2005 Roostertail, you can cast your vote for the new muffler/noise rule change proposal by email. Send an email to [email protected] with your IMPBA member number and yea or na in the subject line for the muffler/noise rule change proposal. It does...

Hi All, Today at the new http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/ website we added a new link on the front page. You will see a rotating .gif, which highlights AQU race results and also IMPBA and NAMBA logos plus their respective links. The Nationals TS2 Team and Champions Challenge results are also...

The proposal to change the IMPBA "add-on" muffler rule has been sent to the IMPBA. Also, along with this, a proposal to lower the noise level to 92db. This is not much, but it is a start. It really comes down to our responsibility when testing at our local ponds/lakes to keep the noise down. If...

One topic (rule) that I think is very strange is the IMPBA 95db noise level. Not that it should not be 95db, but how it is stated in the rule book that you must use some type of muffled pipe or silencer. At this years Intenats I saw methods that had to be put on pipes to show they are making an...
