That has got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen! I cannot believe no one really noticed the fuel tank...which is a cover for the esc! The motor detail is outrageous! Jan, you tha man! Mike

Thank you mike, i looked around on your site and i think that the things you make are awesome too and i like the laser cutter. normally i dont type a lot of english becouse i do it with google translate and that sucks but somethimes my sons have time to type some longer stories than i type normally. I looked around on the forum and there are many nice builders but even better projects.

Greetings, Jan

Boy does the Ben Hur bring back fond memories. I drove that boat for Hal when he first came out with it. I think that was in the late 50's. The cockpit in the boat was so long that I laid down in it. Thank you for putting this post on Intlwaters.com. It has made my day. Perry
