David, I know a little about that set up. It will test you but once you get it figured out, it can really be fun. I started with a pair of 442's for the initial setup and then moved to a set of 1440's. The inside engine will be a bit fussy at times. We found that 1 to 2 ounces of weight set a...

Ron, What hull are you running your stock engine on? -Carl

Looks good...I might get one too. -Carl

I would just like to give a plug to my Ole Bud Ron Drake for bringing Van's Tunnel Boats back to the table. Ron has devoted a lot of his time,money and effort to providing O/B Tunnel racers with the boats they want. Ron and his guys are also spending a lot of time helping customers with their...

To all, The ODMBA speed meet was a BLAST! As always KP and his group was a pleasure to hang out with. Aaron showed us all what twisting it up is all about. Aaron is very smart guy and a true sport. Great show Aaron! I was tired when my plane touched down but then I thought....Aaron has 30...

Thanks James, Ron and Randy are doing a fine job. It is a load off my mind. Walt opted the money before we got a builder that would produce the boats. These two guys have a lot of pressure on them and I hope people will realize that they need a little time to ramp up to a full blown production...

Lohring is correct. Rod came up with that years ago and it was a great idea. We call them "Rod blocks" here in our area. They work. When I am testing a new hull, I take 6 or 8 sets of them with me and change them out to get the best set. -Carl,

He could but I want him to think only about the Lynx until he calls me and says that he has 10 or 12 on the shelf first. That is the most improtant thing to me. -Carl

I agree. I told him NOT to accept any orders until he has built the ones he has now. Then, build some extras and go from there. -Carl,

Lohring, As far as I know, so far all my checks have cleared. LOL I may look at another source for that model but for now just trying to get someone off and building would be GREAT! I think that I may talk to him soon. I may want to build some of these other models I have in the shop. Thanks...

Over the past two years, I have tried two people now and am currently working with a third person that has said they want to build them. I have found people that can and won't and have found some that want to but can't. Hopefully, this third party I have found is someone who CAN and WILL build...

I have misplaced David Ashmore's phone number. Would someone please forward it to me. Thanks! -Carl,

I only made a few of the 14.5mm cranks and I have not let any of them go out yet as they require about 20 mins machine time each before they are complete. (I build model parts when my regular work is slow). I may have around 20 or so of the 14.0mm cranks left. I will sometimes build custom...

It looks a couple of inches longer than a "J" pipe from the picture. I actually designed the 7.5cc "J" pipe for Joey Lejunne years ago. I gave him the drawing for it and he had a set of molds built for it but I am not sure who has them now or even if they are still being made. Post a picture of...

Cool...That's one looooong pipe dude.

Let's not forget Mike talley. Mike is the best 3.5cc stock setup guy that is still racing today. Mike built a 3.5cc K&B and ran 53mph just last summer on a full size race boat (the X-3). He sent this engine to David Hall to open up and document the changes he made. On a special boat that engine...

Drawing new designs in AutoCad is the way to go. I have been doing it since the mid 80's. I probably have 35-40 designs on the tube. It helps when it comes to making fine adjustments to your final design concept. You will have LOTS of time in your first couple of drawings. Draw your top view and...

Chris, I have found that after you max out your setup, the prop is the final tweek to pulling your setup together and is different for each model (even models from the same manufacture). Your chart may bring you to a over-all performance / dimentional window for a certain prop but the final...

I had my taps custom made. They cost almost $100.00 each. Carl VH
