Here's something that I found while looking for a flexible adhesive that is gasoline and nitro fuel proof. I soaked one cured windshield adhesive sample in gasoline and another sample in 20% nitro for 3 months. The adhesive remained flexible and showed no signs of deteration. I got the adhesive...

I am interested in the .12 Mono. Send me info, price and payment method to [email protected]

Who but PJ could think up a thread like this? Made my day a lot better. Sometimes some good ole down home humor is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks PJ. BTW the Manta Ray is running 42+ MPH and the NitroVee is still hung up at 23 MPH.

labtocc, welcome to the best Nitro board around.

Quote from Hammer, "All this talk about engines, hmmmmm! this is what I say. I'm not here to discourage anyone by limiting the boat to a mere few possibilities for engines. I say....Use what you want. I use a twelve and the boat was designed for it. But.... What the heck. One of the main...

Actually, I am only guessing at 20-22K RPM. Compared to the 1/10 oval cars that I have heard at the local track, I am estimating that it has about 2/3 of the exhaust freq/tone. Those guys told me that they were running at 35+K RPM. For aircraft , we used to use a Vibratach, problem is that you...

I have thought about using the Traxxas Pro .15 from my NitroVee in the Hammerhead .12 when I get one in my hands. Problem is that it's not much on RPM but seems pretty good on torque, at least in the hull that it came in. I am continuing to test props, nitro%, tuned pipe, and even the hull to...

Do you have a release date yet ? I am ready to get started!!! This is kinda like hanging a pork chop on the closeline, all the short legged dog can do is sniff it and wish that he had a way to get at it. (he he) But seriously, let us know when you are ready to accept orders.

How about a hardware kit as an optional upgrade? Maybe even a choice of econo kit for the novice sport boater and a pro kit for the racer. Most of the hardware that I am seeing for this size boat appears to be for the fast electrics. Can you give us some manufacturers names to check out? Are...

Hammer! OK I give up, I am not into racing and have never wanted a rigger, but your Hammerhead .12 project has bitten me, now I want one. Can I use my Traxxas Pro .15 marine or do I need to get a real nitro motor and if so what do you suggest, water cooled or air cooled? What prop will I need...

"Hey SSC, how'd I know you would reply to this?" PJ, you know more about me than anyone else on this board. I worked on those aircraft engines when I was a young mechanic.

Actually, the reciprocating engines on aircraft, that use water injection, inject the water into the fuel air mixture downstream of the atomization area. The gasoline and water are not really mixed, the atomized fuel/air mixture and water spray from the injection jet are combined in the lower...
