Looking good Keith!!

I am jealous the new Ice 100's have places for mounting screws.

Questions on The Castle Ice HV Controllers

I noticed there is a build going now that uses 2 castle ICE controllers that are not hydra, aka watercooled.

Can a person do that with the 160 HV ICE controllers too? Or is it ok to install water cooled tubing on the esc and use it that way??

This one. I have found one for 190 bucks shipped just like the one in the above link.

Ive ran the HV160 without water cooling and it worked quite well. Water cooling can be added as well. You do have to use a pistix or a tx that is compatible with air escs though.

This is turning out so much better than it would have if I had built it. The CF inlay is exactly what that hull needs and looks great.

Ahh, shucks Ben.
Thanks, although I'm sure you would have done a fine job yourself.
I've cut CF pieces for stuffing tube supports and some pieces to put behind the motors, but haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet. Maybe tomorrow I can get something done. I am in the middle of trying to sell my car (or more likely take it apart and sell the parts) on some other forums, and trying to source parts for another car I will be driving at the same time. It has left me pretty much no time to work on (or use) RCs.

A hot rod style car or a pokey daily driver?

Yes, the sleeper-est of them all

Can you imagine how confused you would be if you were driving a newer vette, or a nice older muscle car, and you got beat by THAT?

I see a blow off valve! Thats awesome! You can mess with all the punks that think their girl car imports are fast.

Yeah, with the hood down you cant really tell anything, other than you can see the intercooler through the grill, but most people would never think to look.
If you remember the turbo with the billet wheel that I had as an avatar a while back, this is the car that its on.

This is what happens when I tell my wife I wont race anymore. It just starts bleeding into everything else. She's just lucky I haven't touched the push mower yet.

That's awesome! Well done.

Sleepers rock.

Can't wait for this thing to hit the water, also.. nice car!

Servo mount and stuffing tube supports are in. I wish I could capture how nice this boat looks in pics but I cant seem to get any decent pics at all:
