Is there any reason why the air scoops on the hatch are open? If water collects in there, the only way out is through the same opening. Do those little drivers need air or something?

Nice!

I asked the same thing when I saw they were open did not make much sense to me

What harm would it do to close'em up?
Will the doods inside die a slow death from suffocation?
Will there be two skeletons with helmets in there in a few days?
Seriously, Will the inside fog up if they're closed up?

you will suffocate the little guys.......


not sure why they are there but you should be able to seal them up and as long as it is dry in there they should not fog up either.

Not sure what if anything I will do with mine, bugger issue to me would be would the water rip the cover off during a flip if it could grab those holes

I doubt they cause too much pressure in that area.

Now folks you have it all wrong!

The reason the holes are there is to allow them easy escape when the cockpit fills with tears after they have been repeatedly passed by Supervees!!!!

arent they both wearing eye patches? Not good boat racing with the driver and navigator with no depth perception. :tongue_smilie:

They're on both eyes of each driver. I guess they'd be called blindfolds.
Because they don't need to see to beat any Supervee!

I sealed the scoops with small pieces of clear lexan (scrap from a car body)
I then cut it to fit and glued it in with CA. Looked ugly so I painted it black. No more filling w/ water and took about 15 minutes.

That looks like what I may do also!

I stuffed a piece of the noodel in mine. that way its removable in case it does get water in there. but mine is the nitro, converted.
Also its flotation, for the ladies in case of flip over,
doesn't matter how it looks from the front, theres noone else up front, vees all in the back. :w00t: :smile: :huh:

These were ment for the nitro version. They were the air inlets. Ask me what happens when you flip at about 40!! Seal those hatches!!

BTW: Steven can you get the nitro hatches??? I need one.
