after way too long a period of time with next to no activity on any forums, and virtually the same as far as progress on my boats, im happy to hop back on the bandwagon and get crankin, and hopefully have at least something decent to show for by the end of summer! Now I may be wrong with this...

Hello, I had a few questions that I was hoping to have some more experienced racers to hopefully shed some light on, as this topic has been a little bewildering when I attempted to do some research on it. Id like to note that this is more in regards to modern rear winged, turbine hulls...

Steve Gualtieri (rcboatcompany.com scale hydros) manufactured rear wing set, all carbon fiber, made for modern style turbine boats, about 1990 and up (a few older Bud boats may have had this style pre-1990s as well). The uprights have been joined and high density pink foam was epoxied inside...

Was just curious as how most guys approach this aspect, as id like to have one on my current build but im unsure of a couple things First, is it usually permanently attached/epoxied to the cowl, or if you is it ever attached with a "breakaway" setup similar to how a rear wing assembly is...

Hello, I was hoping to have some light shed on this subject, as im particularly picky about this portion of the build and to me, its EXTREMELY distracting to me when I feel like a scale boats windshield is not aesthetically correct or scale accurate (I suppose those two arent always synonymous)...

I just had a couple questions regarding a few hulls and how they relate/work with the Henry Velasco hulls I see alot. Could anyone provide a list of some sort of the boats that this hull makes generally, perhaps mostly in regards to potential cowling options? My apologies if this is rather a...

Hey guys, Just thought id share some detail and plans/ideas that ive been progressing with on this project, moreso even due to this apparently being one of the more relatively unique hulls that I havent really seen produced in 1/8 scale (as far as my own experience). I have been meaning to...

Hey guys, I just had a quick question ive been curious about for some time. My hull is currently in primer and ready for paint, and I was planning on doing a little testing while in this stage. I was curious, exactly what determines the corresponding paintwork or rather, how accurate does the...

Hey guys, I just was hoping someone could shed some light on theis subject or pehaps initiate a good discussion. Specifically, its two motors that I had a few questions about and I can imagine that this information would only serve to benefit others in the future as well. The first motor is the...

heh, excuse my excessive enthusiasm (if there is such a thing ) as I have already completed most of the work in this project, much to my delight.... I want to thank anyone in advance that actually takes the time to read through this entirely, as I regret not posting this earlier in time. As...
