I dug around and could not find any solid info on this. How much should a JAE 12 weigh? Right now I am at 1140g without fuel. Is this good, or did I use WAY too much epoxy in my build or otherwise added too much weight along the way?

Does anyone know the difference between soft and hard cutoff on the Zippkits ESC for the Mini Sprint? Mine is set to hard, and when the voltage reaches that point the boat dies right then and there. I really hope I can get something going which will at least allow me to bring the boat back to...

A few weeks back I bought everything to get a mini sprint going. I had it done for this weekend and brought it with me on vacation to try out. What a blast! I am still blown away by how fast the boat is, and how sharp it can turn. All my neighbors got a kick out of seeing it, and a few were...

Does anyone know of a good video on how to start a boat with a belt and starter? It seems obvious enough, but I am having a hard time figuring out how a belt can have enough torque, when half the time I can't even turn my engine over with a pull start. Also, can a cordless drill be used...

I don't know if this was a stupid idea or a good one, only time will tell. Other members suggested I run water cooling on my engine, as it had a water cooled head, however I really did not want to run the lines for it and I am thinking my idea here will give me more options. These are just...

Finally after 2 years I managed to finish this boat. I just need to get it dialed in now. Thanks to everyone who helped me acquire the parts for this project, I appreciate it. My goal was a reliable boat to have some fun with. I won't be racing anyone, but I still hope to get it going pretty...

I know there is a ton of info on this subject all over the web, but I am at a total loss. I just don't know what is going on. I just finished a JAE12 outrigger I started building over two years ago. To power it I chose my Go engine .18 which I took from my RTR boat. The RTR boat ran great...

I removed the .18 in my RTR boat to put in a used dynamite .15 I had. This was partially to make sure the .15 worked, and second to practice tuning a glow engine. I started by putting the needle settings at the factory recommended settings. Like this the engine would not idle unless the glow...

A whole year later I am still building my first JAE 12g, and I need a fuel tank. Everywhere I look the SS-4 is sold out. Anyone know of a good substitute for it?

I finally have my engine ready for my JAE12g. Any thoughts or ideas of what else I should do to it? I gave up on the pull start and put a rear cover on it. I had to cut the nub off the crank to make it work. Cutting down the head was a complete guess, so I hope I did not take off too much...

I am looking for some 4-40 stainless steel T-nuts or blind nuts to mount some things to my boat. I have scoured the web but all I find are plain steel versions. If you have some you would sell, please email me, [email protected]

Hi, I am new here and was sent over by another member. He said this was the best place for R/C boat info, and I can see he was right about that. I am building a JAE 12g (my first nitro kit boat) and I need to get some parts for it. I have an O.S. .12CV engine I plan to use in it and I need...
