Brian Buaas just raised the P Hydro SAW record to 136 mph, with a fast pass of 141. That's about as fast as the old T Hydro record. 4S/2P 6600 mAh Dinogy, TP 3650 motor. Congratulations to Brian!

Brian Buaas just raised the P Hydro (4S = 14.8 volts) to 136 mph, with a fast pass of 141. This is almost as fast as the old T Hydro record of 140 mph. Congratulations to Brian!

I should have started this instead of jacking Dave's thread. Here's my Q Sport Hydro, an Aeromarine Shadow with a 1527/1Y, 6S1P/6600mAh, Hydra ICE240 and ABC1914. Weighs ten pounds. I originally built it for SAW racing, but never did, just rigged it for ovals. I haven't GPS'd it in a race...

Today we had two 1/8th Scale Unlimiteds racing each other. One was the 2006 NAMBA National Champion the SloMo IV. The other was the Taggart-designed TomyAnn. Both were Unlimiteds from the 1950s. It was great fun to watch them! .

We are mainly an FE club focused on having fun with FE boats. We meet twice each month for racing and informal Test and Tune sessions. Please visit our webiste at: http://www.hotmbc.net .

Has anyone been running an Aeromarine Sport 21 hull? I've been running mine as a P Sport Hydro in FE heat racing and have been pleasantly surprised at how well it performs. The botom design is pure 1980s, but so far at least mine has not only shown great speed (mid-50s in a short-course heat...

Has anyone been running an Aeromarine 21 hull - FE or nitro? I've been racing mine as a P Sport Hydro and have been pleasantly surprised at how well it performs. The botom design is pure 1980s, but so far at least mine has not only shown great speed (50s with conservative setup) but also an...

I can't believe that no one has even mentioned the new Aquacraft UL-1 RTR Hydro. I watched this boat run at the SAW event in Los Angeles last month, and it appears to be a real winner. It is electric, but it ran in the low 40s out of the box with LiPos, and with a bit of strut adjustment and a...

The two fastest oval P-boats in the Houston club are Jim's Phil Thomas SS21 rigged by Buaas and a scratrch-built wooden round nose called the Rampage designed and built by Tom. Both run 4S2P, Jim a Neu 1515/1Y and Tom a 9XL Hacker. Now some would automatically say that the Neu-powered boat...

I have an almost-new (run once) 1465 prop from Mark at Props-4-U. It is sharpened and balanced, Barr cut and slightly delifted. $35 as is or will trade for x465 or x665. Thanks. .

I am delighted that more and more fuel racers are looking at and participating on the electric forum, but like any new aspect of the hobby there is a learning curve before the fuel racer understands about FE (fast electric). I started R/C with fuel boats many years ago so I have a basic...

So far two FE SAW records have fallen on the first day of the event: Q Hydro (18 cells) - 111 mph by Tim Higdon - eclipsing his own record by 6 mph P Sport Hydro (12 cells) - 76.55 mph by Brian Buass - besting old record by 8 mph More to come....

The Heart of Texas Model Boat Club is now operating in the West Houston area. We concentrate mostly on fast electric boats, but members also have gas and scale models. The Trawler Races are something to see! We meet twice a month, usually in Katy, on the first and third Saturdays of the month...

Guys, does anyone here know if Prather LapCats ever set any IMPBA records? I know that Leecraft hulls have dominated the books for a decade, but the Prather hulls were rather popular in the 80s and 90s. By records I mean SAW or timed oval. Thanks! Jay T

Here are the results from last weekend at Legg Lake. M-2 Hydro - Pat McDonald - 53.93 N-2 Hydro - Arne Hold - 72.27 O Hydro - Matthias Boese - 87.34 P Hydro - Matthias Boese - 96.03 Q Hydro - Tim Higdon - 104.94 S Hydro - Mark Grimm - 113.40 T Hydro - Joerg Mrkwitschka - 123.49 S Sport...

The November NAMBA SAW event in Los Angeles has a few openings remaining; if you think you have a fast FE boat, or if you REALLY want to learn to go fast from the fastest boaters in the world rather than the amateur gibberish ;) you read on-line, this is the place to be! No one is born...

Looks like just one more opening for the 2003 SAW event.....if you wanted to go as a competitor, this is probably your last chance! 8) ;D :'( :o
