This is a brand new Pro Prop Gauge from Mike @ Grimracer.com. I bought it a couple of weeks ago for a project, but now I do not need it. I actually put a single prop on the gauge and measured, that is the extent of its use. It also comes with a flip chart for converting your measurements into...

I bought this motor from Kevin "izitbrokeyet?" about a year ago, it was intended to be used on my Villain but I ended up going with a CMB. This was a project motor that Kevin built back in May of 2003. Here is the info on the internal workings for those that do not remember this motor. 8-Port...

Hey guys, I just haven't had the time to get out and race the Villain that I built earlier this Spring. Now I have a business opportunity that I can't pass up so I need to sell a few of my boats. Before it goes to Ebay I thought that I would see if there is any interest here on Intlwaters. The...

Hey guys, I know its gas but thought I would share a few pics of my Stryker. I just got her back from a buddies paint shop this evening, what do you guys think? Now its off to Bob K's for the QD25 and rigging, it should be ready for the Gas Nats this summer. Brent

Hey guys, I started the Villain/CMB for the first time last night. This is my first time starting an engine like this, and the first time using a third channel. According to the instructions, the line on the side of the Fuel Valve points toward the fuel inlet/outlet when the valve is wide...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a reasonable .21 to throw in my 1/12 Miss Bud. Let me know what you have, thanks! Brent

What is everyone using for a throttle cable clamp? Pictures would be helpful! Thanks! Brent

Hey guys, I sent John an OPS .45 last week(sent the motor next day and he would have received it on Wednesday). But I haven't been able to get a response out of him since sending the motor? He had returned emails almost immediately before I had sent the motor, anyone talked to him in the last...

Well I've been working on the Villain for quite some time now, and I am finally getting close to completion. Should have her on the water in a few weeks. The hull is not cleared yet, but I just couldn't resist throwing the CMB on. A BIG THANKS to Bob K., Mike Z. I couldn't have gotten this...

I just picked up a rigger with an OPS .45, it has been modified by Ackerman and I was wondering what carb is on the motor. The only markings on the carb is CB? It looks like a serious carb, just curious. Thanks Brent

I just picked up a Jaguar 40 w/OPS. Where can I get info on this hull? I know Tidewater sells the hulls, but there website seems to be dead. Thanks Brent

I know that there are many very good "Threads" in the history of the forum, but the search engine seems to be very difficult. I know that most search engines require more than three characters to search, but this makes finding threads on CMB, MAC, OPS almost impossible. I am trying to see what...

I am in the process of painting the Villain, I was going to go with a crazy paintjob, but have decided against it. This being the first tunnel hull for me, and from what I am hearing the CMB should be more than a handful. I would hate to see my new $200 paintjob disappear in seconds. So where...

Well I am finally getting to the radio box on the Villain. I have purchased the everything to duplicate Grim's radio box, but just realized I have a few issue's. Here's what I purchased in the way of servo's, Steering(Hitec HS-645MG), Throttle(Futaba FP-S3001), 3rd(FP-S3101). I picked up a...

What do you guys think? I am waiting to seal the bottom of the boat, how do you guys think these changes will affect the handling? Brent Villain-1 Villain-2 Villain-3 Villain-4 Villain-5 Villain-6 Villain-7

Getting ready to sheet the bottom of the sponsons and wanted to know how much weight to add internally? I'll be running a CMB .21 ls. Thanks!

Still working on the villain, but I might have somewhat run into a snag with the cowl. I installed the cowl doublers last evening, but the directions were somewhat vague on where exactly to glue them(other than aligning them front to back with the verticle cut line towards the front of the...

Need some help with my Bud boat. I am just getting the bugs worked out on my modified stock motor(Ported, Lightened, New Pipe, No more pull start). I've got maybe 3 tanks through it since the mods and I was just getting ready to lean the motor out when I ran into problems. The last time at...

Anybody have any results from yesterday's racing? Just curious how Bob Kensill faired, he has been helping me out with all of my boats. Bob felt he had a very good chance of taking the Tunnel and Hydro, just curious. Thanks! Brent

I am going to start building my S1 this weekend. I have read back through many threads and thing I have a pretty good idea of what I will need to make this a success(First timer). I do have some questions on the remaining running hardware that I will need. I am in the process of locating a...
