Re: Fuses - On second thought, for that idea to work we'd need a "wattage" control device and not really just a fuse. Everyone would just put 10 Li-Poly's in (40 volts) and we might have a mess all over again.... Back to the drawing board...

Yes, I have to agree that the weight advantage of the Li-Poly cells would be a serious advantage moving from older (heavier) technologies. Unfortuntely, since technology never sleeps I guess it would boil down to a decision of whether you wanted to "re-do" cell classes each year or two in...

Hi gents, Haven't been here in a while, but wanted to chime in a bit. While it's not the most popular solution, I feel that "battery weight" is probably the simplest (and arguably the most logical) solution to something that could be a huge can of worms later on. Doug and myself bantered back...

Absolutely correct, Thanks Doug.

Hi Gents, We are announcing a change in policy to our sponsorship search for the 2003 NAMBA nationals. The "Title Sponsor" position has been eliminated, and the co-sponsors will now be called "official sponsors". The "Official Sponsor" positions are available for a $250 donation. As most of...

Here's Kyle & Casey Crowe! Hi everyone, Here is a beautiful picture of 2 new boat racers having just entered the world. All involved are tired, but doing well. Here's Kyle & Casey Crowe!

Hey Chris! Good to hear form you man - how the heck are ya?? Give me ring sometime... Now about that rudder not lifting at any pivot angle... ;)

Rudder shape v.s. rudder pivot angle Hi Gents, In my humble opinion, the shape of the leading edge of the rudder ( i.e. swept slightly or straight down) has less to do with lifting the transom than the actual pivot angle of the entire rudder. I have found that my boats behavior in the corners...

Good luck Dick - I'll be thinking a good thought for you and your wife.

I was running 2 head shims I believe, and McCoy #9 plugs with the 60%. The .12's and .15's I was running ran cooler, faster and idled much more reliably with high nitro. Once you get the head clearance right, and a good cold plug you should have much better results.

Thanks Don, I started with about 1 degree of strut angle when the motor was stock with 60%, but after the porting, even that was a bit much after it came up on the pipe. It would get a little hoppy down the back (rougher) straights. I ended up with almost a flat setup with the 1640. ...and...

Hi Gents, I hope this will help, or give you some ideas - Here is some .12 rigger work I did back in 1994 or so. I used an OS .12 CZR with 172 degrees of exhaust timing (155 was stock), 60% fuel, a MAC 2.5cc pipe and header, Octura 3" solid mount, Hughey hardware and a 1640 prop. It really...

Hi gents, After seeing all these fine boats displayed, I figured I toss my stuff up here too... These are my sport hydros.

Hi gents, wow - some of you look familiar :) Tom (Octura) called the other day - he is working on 2 new 1/8" bore props that will help us out... If I remember correctly an M425, and a 1727.
