Hey guys, Haven't been here for a while, kind of got out of it for a little while. I still don't know much about this stuff. .21 Mono, making my own running gear (accomplished machinist) and would like to know the common bore size for the strut. I will be running a 1/4" flex cable with a...

Hey guys, finally got the crackerbox fired up and on the water but it has a major case of the bounces. It does ok until it gets on plane and then starts trying to come out of the water. I lowered the trim tabs and it helped, added some weight in front of the engine (only place to attach it...

Hi guys, after a little guidance from the outboard side of the forum about putting an outboard on an AC comp 30 hull and getting talked out of it in lieu of an inboard I have found me a project boat to do some learning on. I think it is going to be a learning curve from heck but I think it is...

Hi guys, I am new to the message board as well as rc boats. What I have is a AC comp 30 hull with a K&B 3.5 mounted with a mount that I machined. I set it up according to the literature that came with the outboard, I set it up under the instructions for a monohull. I believe the top of the...
