Hey doc I see you changed your signature sometime in the last day or two. I wanted to ask you when you stated 110 mph fastest speed to date what was that the speed of. Thanks in advance.

Extremely nice !.
Speed is almost irrelevant when the build quality is good.
I do envy good airbrush talent !
Thx for the extras.

I need one a bit smaller that only has the top half. I have checked a couple of places but no luck yet. I will watch the toy stores that has one on a cheap plastic car or truck.

By a bit smaller do you mean 1/10th Chuck? I'm not sure if Parma is still putting out the "Hemi".

The 'bottom half' is all sump.. easy with a dremel to almost 1/2 it's total height... with pipes still hanging over the edges ( one could invert them for uprights and they'd clear that 1/2 height easily.

Is that 427 very heavy Doc?

Is that 427 very heavy Doc?

an Oz or two at most ( 30->60gms)

hollow plastic . I wouldnt mount it onto an active boat..the spray from sponsons would tear it to shreds !

Good point.Maybe a spray coat of epoxy over it?And UV over that. Or am I just making things complicated.

[drwayne]

it's reasonably robust plastic.. 1/16 -> 1/8 thick.

if you wanted to mount it on an active boat, buy several.. a spare motor for each race !

nite folks 1230pm here

Some time this year I will be molding the 1/10 scale top parts blower injectors and valve covers (If you can not find the Parma on ebay). I make mine float and pick them up with the boat. It is a little more realistic in crashes.
