    yeah i did say i was thinking of buying another OM21 hull and setting it up BL and lipo and racing it, but i said i would finish the SW36 and drifter first.....and if i do sell all of this, i could have enough $$ to do that, but all of the funds will go toward the new bike....they arent cheap....some of the lower end bikes cost about 500-600$....

      Do yourself a favour....

      If you are going to build an OM... build an OM26, not a 21...

      Get yourself an OM26, a Nemesis 6L, a Hydra 120, and a 2S Lipo pack...

      That'll put you right in the hunt in N2-Mono...

      ... even in our club...

      The OM21 is just too small for the power that's available these days... you'll be fighting an uphill battle trying to keep in on the water in race water...

        Oh, you live at the lake, then buy a paddle boat! ha

        You can run your boats and peddle at the same time or use it for a rescue boat.

        Just trying to keep you into r/c boats and this forum.

                    haha

                    man....you must be one serious DH'er.....where do you ride?

                    my bike broke again...now there is a large crack in the swingarm...near the bottom....now when i pedal, the rear end fishtails a couple inches to the left...ill have to buy a new swingarm...cant risk it breakin on the trails

                    maybe if i sell all my stuff soon, i can afford that new bike...just need to find boxes big enough...
