That Dumas Hotshot OB Tunnel hull was my first RC boat. I raced it and modified it for many years. See my photo album for pics.

Oval racing Indycars were using the offset for decades before the idea made its way to unlimited hydros. Jim Clark won the Indy 500 in 1965, in a Lotus/Ford, with a huge offset of the main body of the car/engine/cockpit to the left. This car is currently on display at the Henry Ford Museum in...

I've considered doing that, but - What happens if you were to get a scratch, chip, bump or crack in the fuelproof clear coat, and then some fuel lands on that scratch? Would the fuel then eat its way under the clear coat and ruin the non fuelproof paint underneath? Just wondering. Thanks.

I’ve got the same questions. I suspect that since many guys use I.V. Bags for a fuel tank, they don’t use exhaust pressure for the tank?

I can no longer reply to a posting by using the "quote" button. How can I fix this? I am able to reply on a thread, but I'm not able to "quote" and respond to a particular "reply" or "post" in a thread. Is there a setting that I need to change on my PC? How do I do that? Thanks. -Dave

..instead of letting me know where the dead wood was he would simply tell me what lane to drive in... - I agree. I heard from someone smarter than me a while back - that the subconcious human mind does not process "negative" language very well. For instance, if I were to tell you "Don't...

Back in the '80's - I built and raced wood nitro boats, that were sealed and painted with epoxy paints (like HobbyPoxy and K&B paint), which were high nitro fuel proof, and are no longer produced. I'm considering designing, building and racing a wood gas Thunderboat. Do I need to use epoxy...

Lohring you might like this one I did two engines tandem with two struts so it would be a standard with tub. Attached Thumbnails 20161215_102409.jpg 20161213_162128.jpg 20161204_105909.jpg Very interesting idea! How did it work out?

I started racing D Hydro riggers in the early 1980's in District 4 (IMPBA). There were several of the Hughey riggers racing in the area at that time. When compared to the newer Pinkert Coyotes, and Vipers, and others, the Hughey just could not keep up at all. Even in rough water. They had a...

That double landing of the boosters was just incredible! I saw a close up video of the landing a few days ago, but now I can't find it.

The launch and the payload are something else! https://youtu.be/Tk338VXcb24 [animated]

Glenn, What does "p/s" mean? Thanks.
