Stupid Rooskies !!

On the pipe = FLY like a bird ... oups !

Personally done @ 89/90mph with a RR 40 UL and heavily modified Picco p-45 running the rare Octura 2352 Never raced it set up like this but was running at the test pond one day screwing around and had the radar gun with us. Slow to get going, but once staged on the pipe ... just wow !!

**** Julian, props need to be a tad lower or a bit of lift taken out IMO ... Otherwise Hot Damm !!!

Yup, original hull acquired circa 1991/93 ... where the hell does the time go ?

Too funny !! .... Julian just contacted me about his little RR twin :D Sure enough started life with me being a custom tub I built based off an original Bobby Cauldil ( Spelled wrong I'm sure ) built gen 1 Road runner. It's first lease on life looked like this ....

Could not resist ... Not all twins are alki/nitro or 2 engines ... zoom zoom :lol:

Some place an honestly ignorant question gets a straight answer ... guess not this time or place :rolleyes: Frankly think the toilet water spin sums it up nicely ... and down the shitter we go :D

Knowing WHO your enemies are when the new guy on the block is the tough part. That said tho, talk to your neighbors and see how friendly they actually are and forthcoming they share dirt on others in the neighborhood. Find the offending party and it WILL stop, those who typically toss the most...

Wally, I did / do so figuring ALL the sharp edges around port windows act like squeegee edges peeling the oil film away. A ever so slight bevel / broken edge allows the piston to better float on the oil film present. Doing this for years now have indeed seen less burnish type wear on pistons...

I too just spent the weekend with Jim and we chatted quite a bit never having health issues arise ... ****, speedy recovery my friend !

Very well done .... O' the drama of it all !!

Gerald, You so far have done NOTHING or contacted me about our dealings. What really shows your character is your claiming I switched hardware to make deal look worse than it was ... you are truly a nut job stating such nonsense. As for the usability of the hull and it's build quality the...

Yup .... Those of you who placed Gerald on the safety ladder while dismissing those fellow IW members ripped off should be ashamed for being so ignorant and short sighted. Nuf said ... :angry:

Look at it his way .... proved your just a big kid, got a Woodie and lost it :rolleyes:

As we collectively as a district have shrunk due too few ponds for newbee's getting there boats wet gaining experience. Years past most clubs and outlying areas had ponds, lake access allowing the local hobby shops to sell R/C boats. Now days the legal issues of having public access to water...

Thanks so far guys .... like the wholly grail it would seem. Adding more info, am wanting some insight on design for an INLINE twin ... in this application torque creation not an issue .... but more of wanting compact pipes that will still turn high rpm and perhaps doing 2 into 1 routing.

Greg, Thanks, but I have a few pipes myself ... am looking for actual TECH info on the fundamental operation of them from a design view point. loads of stuff on conventional pipe design but found nada on the 1/2 waves :( I even remember Lee Garcia of "garcia mini marine" screwing around...

Thought with the vastness of the web someone would have posted some tech info and pictures of 1/2 wave pipes .... no such luck finding anything yet :( If you have been around long enough you likely have seen / used those big straight wall cigar looking pipes of years past like we once used in...

Mike, You don't have the facts ... Actually via PM Gerald offered me the boat weeks in advance of his listing. At that time declined due to it being a RX layout. Only after hull was listed for near 2 weeks did I ask tub width to see if perhaps a SX engine would fit. So your dead wrong ... no...
