              How old is your son? That's a little voice in the background.

              Looks good BTW.

                Well I have three...lol. you probably heard the 5 year old. The vac u pickle is for my ten year old, he's the driver. I asked him what he was doing because initially I was going to run it first to make sure it was ok....but he just took off with it while I was snapping pics so I turned the video on..... my 5 year old has a mini mono that's probably too fast for him buy he managed to not flip it!

                        Thanks! Not too bad I think. I had built it to run on 4s but I honestly think that's going to be too much for this hull. And it only has a 40mm 1.4 pitch cnc prop!

                          She runs darn good for a first run. My first hydro did not go that smooth it took me about 4 times out to really dial it in. The coolest part is the little guy took it right out from under you. He drives pretty well !!!!

                          Keep up all the good work.
