Hi all.. Just wondering what size servo people are using in their .67 rigger's on the rudder? I'm a newbie to this size boat and didn't want to go over kill as far as adding weight I don't need and also want to make sure I have enough to do the job still for oval / heat racing trim. I've got...

Hi all . I've just started to seal the wood on my next boat using an epoxy similar to west systems as I have done before. In the past, I have then had my boats primed and painted in auto two pack paint. For this boat I wanted to try to keep the weight to a minimum so I was thinking of just...

Hi all. Just getting over last nights drinking and eating for my birthday and getting ready to go boating for the rest of the day. Life is good ! now where did I put that asprin ? :D Jason :blink:

Just wondering if anyone has one of these new CMB .45RS motors yet and if so what are they like? :blink:

Hi all, just gave my new .21 rigger it's first outing today. Only got to run for about 10 mins total on the water due to time restrictions. My question is about the set up and run in of my new Mac.21 . What sort of run in procedures are people using for the Mac and how many tanks before it...

Hi all, I've got a question with remote mixtures. I've never had one on a boat before and not sure how they work as such, do you still run the remote needle assembly with the remote mixture as well or just the remote mixture unit and that is your only adjustment? I've got one of the aeromarine...

Just putting up this post after on the weekend mine died in my boat. I got to the pond and fueled up, turned on transmitter on then RX and nothing! I've heard people say they don't like water and on the post on Failsafes they were metioned again. I think mine got a little water a few weeks...

Just made a new decompressed head for my CMB .90 . My question is what is the minimum squish clearance you can run in this size motor and is the only limiting factor the slop of the crank bearing, big end and gudgeon. By this I mean if you go below say 12 thou, are you risking the piston...

Hi all, I'm just about to have a go at making my own metal tank for my new rigger and was wondering what sort of design I should use as far as a surge tank/compartment inside the tank? I have a few ideas but wondering if there is any thing I should avoid to stop surging problems when the fuel...

Hi all. I'm just about to start making my hardware for my new .21 rigger and was trying to decide what was the best method for bushing the strut for the prop shaft to run in. The last time I used needle rollers but I was interested in trying some teflon. I was planing to make one long bush...

I'm going to have to build a new .21 after the weekends running, the old rigger just didn't like doing the flips through the air like it used to . Any one know where is a good source of marine grade plywood preferably in Victoria. ( I figure if it's local there is less chance of damage...

Hi all. Just have a question that some may have some thoughts on. On my .21 riger I was looking at the size of the flex hex coupling and just wondering if there would be any performance gains by removing some of what seems like excess material from it by machining. The part I'm refering to is...

Hi All, Just putting up this post after re-running my .90 rigger today. Well first off this is what I done after the replys I got to my last post on this boat and the problems I've been having. I sealed up the holes around the boom tubes, up graded the fuel lines, leghthened the pipe 10mm...

Well I'm just putting this post up in the hope some one might have a few tips for me? Recently I've been trying to get some run time on my new .90 CMB motor in my new rigger. Boat is set up as the builder recomended and I think I have it all pretty sweet but, I've had it out to pond about 4...

Hi all, Just putting up this post as I'm interested in joining a Melbourne club and I think RMBC would be my closest option. I'm in a local club but I'm a little discouraged with the club as it's not functioning as a club. If any one has any info on RMBC and some contact info that would be...

Hi all, Just been looking around for a suitable product for finishing my new .90 rigger. I know from what I,ve read and been told that West systems is a very good product but, today I contacted a local boat fibreglass business and they told me they use a product called Boat coat (think this...

Just after some tips on running in my new CMB .90 I was told by some one to maybe start off with a slightly smaller prop than ideal until I've put some run time into it,but I would have thought that running a smaller prop maybe not good for the possible accidental over rev. I'm a mechanic by...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has good sources for prop modifing on the net . I've looked through all the info I can find on this forum but,I would still like to find more info that can help me to mod props and maybe not have too many ruin props that are no good to use. I'm mostly interested...

Just after some peoples opinion on what is a good receiver battery pack when running a high torque 1/4 scale rudder servo. I know there are a lot of high milli amp aa size batteries but what is enough to let you run at the lake for afew hours and not have to worry about the receiver pack going...

Can anyone give me a good starting point length to cut my pipe to on a .90 rigger with a CMB .90 evo-h motor, CMB unmuffled pipe(nitro pipe) , ABC H-50 prop at 25 percent nitro? ;) :D ;D
