My wife say's I have ocd with add. I have 4 1911 pistols I love to take to the range and make dirty one of them I built myself from a frame kit. 07 Shelby mustang I have done alot of work to for unknown reason to make faster. I have split enough 302 for blocks in half to know not to build one...

Can some one post some pic's of how they have set up the radio box on the Jae 12g2 outrigger. I have looked thru the gallery at all the nice boat's but can't seem to fine close enough shots. I may end up buying a new radio system because what I have just does not look right sitting in the boat.

You can make a chaser out of a old spark plug. bevel the end slightly and cut a grove down the lenght of the threads with a file. screw it in slowly with transmission fluid on it and be careful. also does not hurt to put grease on a rag and stuff it into the hole to catch the shavings. Most...

I love the math that made the number's simple on how they get the pitch. Now I got to find out how pitch really works.

Ok the Propshop 4014e is the same as the Zippkits 440 prop. 14 represents the pitch ratio in the number and 40 is the diameter so It would depend on the manufacturer on how it's listed. Just guessing that the Zippkit's 438 prop would have the same pitch as the 440 prop but the diameter of the...

I see the number's of the prop's but I am not sure how to read them. I have a 440 prop from Zippkit's can someone break the number down as to what it means and how they did it or link to a website that can break it down? I guess the 40 part of the number is the pitch but I think I don't have a...

I ran into a problem shoe horning the .18 in with the tiger drive. I sanded out about 1/8" to much on each side of the engine mount wood. Any suggestion on how to repair this area? I am thinking about Jb weld but don't know how it act's with wood , cutting up some balsa wood and laminating...

Ok so a cut off wheel on the dremel is cool. I have a Zippkits 440 prop (4007). I know how to make the a engine do more than it's rated for. I have alot of time on my hands with 4 days off because of 4x4 work. I have port matched the header, polished the inside of the block to the sleave and...

My weekend has came around again so it's back to working on the boat. I have tried to hand fit most of the parts in and have run into a problem of the lack engine mount bolt's and the flex cable being to long. I will try to go to Memphis and check a few store's for bolt's for the mount. My...

I remeber trying this myself back in the 80's with rit clothes dye,battery acid and a battery charger. The results were not that great but it did work and it was a mess to clean up so I never tried it again to see what I did wrong. I know there are some home kits out there now for this if you...

I don't know anything about nitrous on a r/c boat. But, I know enough about 10.5 class( run what you brung and hope you brought enough ) to know better. The problem with this is a nitrous bottle is a nitrous bottle and a whip cream bottle is a whip cream bottle . A true nitrous bottle has a...

I don't know if I should keep this here or move it to another area but here it goes. After a late night of polishing I noticed that the exhaust side flange of the header was flat along with the input side of the tune pipe. I cut a angle into the output side of the header and a matching angle...

I got the hardware kit in Saturday from Zippkits but no boat yet. One of the things I was going to do today was polish all the parts coming off the Pro boat and maybe the Zippkits hardware so they match and look pretty. I have read where people are talking about sharpening the rudder and I...

I should have JAE 12G2 in a few days and maybe be on the lake by Monday. Thanks for all all the help and info.

I live just outside Memphis , Tn . The engine has seen about a gallon of 20% car fuel. The hobby store's don't have alot when it come to fuel most of it is for airplane's and car's.
