      What are others using? I thought there were decent resin kits out there for 1/8 scale. Or have all the scale boats I have drooled over been custom build wood models?

      Edit: What about the scale resin motor for $55 at Fastelectrics.com Is it any good?

      Also, is dennis hoover still making show engines? Or are these just show engines and not racing covers?

        I'll check out the Fast Electrics one. I knew I'd seen one somewhere. Maybe that's it. Of course probably $20-30 shipping from Australia! Oh well.

        Dennis Hoover? Maybe he's making the one that is $282? I don't need one that bad!

          Checked Fast Electrics. That's the same wooden kit I see everywhere. Dangit! I KNOW there is a resin kit out there!

            Looks like an old link to an archived page. Tried adding it to my cart and came up as not a stock item.

            Attached is pic and the link that I found it from.



            sorry for the false hope!

            I can't believe someone doesn't make one of these.

                sailr was looking for an 1/8 scale motor that wasn't wood. A decent resin cast version. Do you know of any?

                I agree that the 1/16 is a limited class. I really like mine though, nice and cheap to build and run, loads of fun. You have proven that they can be very scale looking.

                  He should look on the RCU.org website I think there is a source there or International waters you should be able to find a source.
