Well, It's been almost 5 months since the first race in Novemeber 2009. Races are held the Last sunday of each month so far(excluding December). Here's some video highlights and I will update as more videos are processed and uploaded. Now if you are in the Las Vegas Area and you have a...

Hi everyone. I just wanted to share a video I put together of the first rc boat race I participated in. It wasn't a sanctioned NAMBA or IMPBA event but just a group of guys trying to get a taste of rc boat racing. I guess a club race without a club. We need to start somewhere, right. It was...

Hi all, I'm realy impressed with the Design of JAE riggers. Did anyone try using the rear ski design on a miss vegas/miss bud? If yes, did it increase or decrease performance? Is it a good or bad idea? I'm thinking of trying this to see if it will help in anyway. I cut some garage foam and...

Is the O'Donnell 77 medium glow plug good to use in a 21 with 60%nitro? ambient temp ranges from 60 to 90F. Thanks Ron

Hi, I apologize that the Video gets shakey at time and I lost the boat a few times. Close-up shots are tough. I really wanted to see how much of the sponsons are really touching the water as well as how much of the rear is dragging. I couldn't do it. May be next time. Here's video of...

I know it part of our wonderful hobby, but it still sucks to lose a prop. Ok, my story... I bought an unassembled octura 0.15 flex shaft, drive shaft, drive dog and bullet nut. First I initially used solder from the plumbing section at the hardware store to connect the flex shaft to drive...

I can't believe this I've come this far! I bought the FF18 plans in 12/2007 and started in 12/2007. It's ready for the water. Here are some pics: It's powered by an 0S tz18. I'm using a stock Miss Vegas turn fin, but have an upgraded turn fin too. What is the advantage of a wider turn fin...

how much current (mA) does a typical radio system use? I'm wondering if a 7.4v lipoly batter will mess up the receiver or servos? If yes, has anyone attached a resistor to bring down the voltage to acceptable levels? If so, how many watts and ohms is the resistor? I believe it would be...

Has anyone used magnets in place of screws or cowl lock in nitro boat to secure their cowl in place? Will the vibration caused by the nitro engine overpower the magnets force? I'm just wondering if anyone has used it. I see the UL1 sport hydro uses it, but thats electric. Thanks for your...
