B-Mono refers to .21 Nitro class. I raced this FE against .21 monos during the 2006 SCC. It was very competative. My speeds were comparable to those of the .21 ( B) class. I'm not quite ready to part it out yet. It is does not sell int he next week, then I might do that. r, Scboatman

The radar gun has been sold - Thank You.

Folks, Working on a new project and need to do a little housekeeping. I have two items for sale. Shipping will only be int he lower 48. I've had too many problems in the past going overseas. If the address is an APO/FPO, I will ship to those. 1. Bushnell velocity radar gun. Originally...

Fellow FE'ers For those of you interested, the Charleston Model Boaters is hosting their third annual 2007 National OC Tunnel Championships 24-25 March 2007. There will be an "Open Tunnel" class, a "Q FE Tunnel" class, and a "Open FE Tunnel" class. Three great chances to race your FE tunnels...

What electronic speed controll are you using? Usually, any voltage above 14.4 vdc being applied to a motor through a ESC will require a seperate voltage source to the receiver. NEed more info to help. r, SCBoatman

"Batteries are for flashlights?" are you kidding me? :blink: Perhaps a call into EPA to tip them off on the pollution those nitos cause is in order. :P Figured that those nice German FE'ers would have set you straight by now. Now everyone repeat after me,...boat racing is fun...boat...

Scott, John was bringing that same topic up with me after the last B-Mono race....you remeber the one that we collided and still finished 1st and 2nd :rolleyes: I'm not sure if you knew this or not, but most of the FE'ers were newbies to the racing seen. So some of the dartiness was due...

To run with the big boys you got to spend some bucks. Embarassing. Thats exactly why most gassers think of us as second class racers. Dumps, bad starts, tech problems. We need to kick these guys butts. Not show up and Dump. A123 are not going to cut it. 10k lipos will if you want to...

Capt Ronbo, What size sport hydro you looking to build? As I told you, my next project will be a rigger. Looking either at 18 or 24 cells. Hope to race in the B Hydro in 2007 SSC. r, Don S.

Ron, Sorry about that. I was just still a little excitted about the weekend. And I may still be tring to clean my systems from all the Nitro fumes. :rolleyes: Thanks for setting the record straight. For some reason I thought you guys ran three heats on Open Mono. r, SCBoatman...

First heat, the boat flipped and we got a did not start Second Heat, we got hit by a nitro mono, flipped the boat, craked the hull lines on both sides and also but a hole in it. Ron Green and Chris Harris worked to patch and re reace. Third heat, the boat shut down after five laps (another...

Congrats to John for the win! No Comments on What Will Happen NEXT YEAR. :D Scott, Hope that was not an attempt at intemidation already. ;) A couple of more races, I may just get tired of my FE getting sprayed with Nitro exhaust and show you a clean rooster tail. Twleve months can make...

Ladies and Gentleman, This last weekend, October 6-8, IMPBA District 13 hosted the first ever FE class race (Q- Mono). The Q Mono class was sponsered by A123 Racing and there were five entries....Chris Harris, Ron Green, Doug Smock, Chris Gierszewski, and Don Sallee (me). It was an extremely...

Paul, Have you tried this project with a brushless set-up? While running, was the air cooling sufficient or would you recommend water cooling? r, SCBoatman

James, Are you familiar with the HTB hull? According to their website their hulld come with a radio box. If it is the same one that I saw at the last CMB club race I was at, then it might be worth looking at for your water tight requirements. It seemed from a first look that it was large...

Man James...See what I was talking about in the earlier posts! I have a mind to get on the first plane....fly to Frankfurt, go to a little eating place I know where the beer is really good.....look at a couple of those German chicks.....pass out....drink a couple of more beers....stumble to...

Guys...Both Nitro and FE, I am a tried and true FE'er. Nitro is not anything I am interested in. Those of you in the CMB club are fully aware of that. During many conversations with the CMB club president, John Knight I have expressed many thoughts about running FE's against nitro and gas...

Paul, If you have not already receive the word....yes FE's are welcome in the open classes and in the Q-1 FE Mono. v/r SCBoatman

One of the things that I have noticved in CMB for their Nitro Tunnels is that they are using 27" - 29" hulls for .20 nitros. The longer boats are needed because of all of the chop when several. The CMB tunnel guys typically are using HTB tunnel hulls. They claim that they are the best...

Thanks Bobby....and thank you CMB. r, SCBoatman
