Thanks for the help, but I already bought the Dewalt and I won't use the circular saw enough to justify the cost of a new battery.

I have a Craftsman 14.4V drill and saw free to anyone who can come get it or pay shipping. It is about 5 years old, but the batteries will not take a charge. I went to Sears and the only batteries they sell will not fit, evidently the design has changed within the last 5 years. I hate to...

Thanks Bill.

My other two-stroke is a 2007 GasGas EC300 Dirtbike.

I was told by the local hobby shop that the 3rd channel on the Futaba 3PM was actuated by a single button. When the button was pressed the servo was fully actuated, and if the button was pressed again the servo went the other way. I couldn't see how this would be useful for fine tuning an...

I was referring to mixing fuel and air, but if you use it for other more creative mixes please tell. The next best mix that comes to mind would be Beam and Coke.

I'm building a Whiplash Sport 40 as my first boat. I'm ready to start mounting hardware to make sure everything is balalnced before I skin the top of the boat. I have some engine questions. I know that the Red head CMBs are the best motor available with plenty of parts available. However...

The Whiplash boats are available again. I bought mine from Brian about 3 weeks ago. Do a search for Whiplash, his dad posted his phone number. I called him to order mine.

What color heads do the RS and the Hydro CMB engines have? What are the differences between these 2 engines as well as the other CMB engines? Different bore / stroke, heavier crank, ect.? I figured the different colors indicated different models, but what is different between the models...

I'm going to need an engine for the Whiplash Sport 40 I'm building. This is my first boat, so I don't know the differences between all of the engine options out there. Seems like MAC or CMB is the way to go? What is with all of the different color heads, what are the differences between these...

Thanks guys.

I am building a Whiplash Sport 40. I am almost ready to skin the frame. Does anyone apply epoxy to the external surfaces of the boat, or just the internal surfaces? Thanks, Josh
