My New (to me) 1/10th Scale

[Darin Jordan]

The Prop is a CDMI 45mm prop... We'll see if it works... Thus far, I haven't really found any of those initial run props that work on anything. They need more cup, less lift from what I've experienced...

The Airfoils are not adjustable on the fly. You can move them some in the pits...

I DO still have the 1996 DeWalt... I'll be getting it going in the near future. I'm planning on powering that one a little differently...

I will let you guys know how the prop works out with this boat...

is it me or do you have that set up to run counter clockwise races? I thought that races were clockwise, or is it a matter of preference to the racers? Seems that there arn't many choices for reverse props.

Darin, I've said it before and will say it again,
that is a gorgeous boat.
How much can you adjust the strut?

[Steven Vaccaro]

How can you even think of racing that? Its just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy y to nice.

1/10 scale runs counter clockwise like the real boats.

OK, a piece of new dryer venting, cut to the correct size and shape, and I'm not good to go! Let's RACE!!

[Darin Jordan]

Ouch!!

Well guys... Here's the result of a faulty JR RS310 Receiver and a Rock retaining wall... I was running around out in front of Aurthur and Dorothy Oberto's house on Seafair Sunday... having a great time... Ooooss... and Aaaaaasss... as I made passes around our in front of the dock... bring it in to give it a quick check... send it back out... Hit the throttle... Sharp turn right and then no control... Open throttle right into the rock retaining wall...

Luckily for me, the guy who painted it lives just up the road and got me hooked up on the painting supplies (House of Colors Neon Green and GM Olympic White Duplicolor paint)... I didn't damage any of the decals, so hopefully I can fix it around those and preserve them...

Guess I'd better get the DeWalt finished a little sooner!

Been there done that and I must say I almost cried.

Oh you bastage! J/K... That blows man. you should have sold It to me and It would still be on a shelf!

[lonewolf]

Real bummer to the max.... I know the feeling...3 weeks of laying paint. then to have a 5ft mono hit the floor nose first from 2 ft off a cement floor. I was hanging he hull to do the final clearcoat.... I had to walk away for a couple hours and BREATH. I feel for ya Darin hope she recovers well from her injuries...

How does the cowling seal-up? Do you have foam on the inside edge of the cowling? Do you still have to tape?

[SJFE]

Thats a god damn greek tradigy Darin. I hop you get it patched up man. Oh and um....when your ready to sell the other one don't forget my email address.....lol. You have a PM comming.

Darn shame Darin - presumably you'll have it back in the water in -relatively speaking- no time.

I too lost signal from an RS310 a few weeks ago. I thought maybe it was because I had let the voltage in my XS3 Pro dip to about 9.6v but my boat was no more than 10yds from me when this happened.

I'm hoping it's not an issue with the actual RX and is just a "juice" issue in the TX.

I put fresh cells in the TX and haven't had a problem since.

Darin or anyone else have any thoughts on this?
