After kind of a weird weather month in January, we're having a great stretch of the bright and sunny stuff. Looking forward to rubbing decks with you guys, again. Ball, I know you keep saying you want to get out here. Our 2014 race will be our 10th. Maybe that's a good one to set your sights on!

N-2 O/S??

What's the weight in grams of the 1950? The XL's are 340 g's. I've seen a 14 XL do Q O/S direct drive, and I think with an X645. Maybe 445.

If you'll ship it at that price, I'll take it. PM me with your info if accepted.

Thanks, guys. Until next time!

I have given you setups that will pull 45-50 amps. Knowing that you have a 77 amp speed controller, you don't have much room to be more agressive. Some room, yes, but not alot. You should ultimately keep your amp loads no higher than 60 IMO with your equipment. I know you've got a ton of...

I run the 9XL on a gearbox (transmission) quite a bit, and can help you with some basic set up tips. On 12 cells, you can direct-drive that motor with an X445 prop. Direct drive = set up your pinion and spur gears to be the same size. For more info, visit www.finedesignrc.com regarding...

I'm glad my lap math was correct on the other board. Don't want to be on the disfunctional side of things! With the point deduction for a cut bouy, Would you want the 1st place boat to get 1st place even with a cut? If not, the deduction should be over 100 points. Good luck at your race...

I'm personally waiting for the Octo-mag herpisimplex 10's to come out. My NAMBA proposal is already in the works.

I run the Reedy quad mag 19T in my OM 21 with an x435. Did so at the Trent Hare Classic last year and will again this year. I didn't get a chance to test my N-1 setup at MC-5 too much, but it also ran an X435 with a 27T in the same boat. 1:41 was my best time with the 27T, and I'll get my...

I know exactly what that is. It's you immitating Carl at Bushwood Country Club cleaning your golf ball. "Mrs Crate, I'm looking at you. You wore green so you could hide. I don't blame you! You're a TRAMP! Oh, yeh, that was right where you wanted it".

That's funny you mentioned the servo's, Dan. I use the MG 81's in everything but my Q Mono, which has the MG 85. Flawless. I put the 225 in my 40 inch mono and something is stripping in there. Maybe it's just me.. But, the MG 81's/85's are all I'll run now for the mid to smaller boats.

A 3 day event just took CAFE up another notch for me. Unfortunately not for '05, but '06, Az just may be there. Pete and I want to mix up our travels and we just love you guys soooo much.

Az can handle a Nitro course. In fact, we're trying to have our Winter Warmup's at the Scottsdale site, where the Nitro's run.

I'm glad you guys have the opportunity to throw in with the Nitro/gas boats, and I'll be following your success closely. I've always had a problem with long time future outlook. I have a hard enough time focusing in on the next 6-8 months of race preparation! But, that's why I have you guys...
