Wow this hobby has come a long way....

Hello everyone, getting back into the hobby after a decade or so of other interests. My god has this hobby come a long way! I have been playing around with electric airplanes for a few years so I am up on Lipo's but I haven't touched boats in about 17 years or so. Wow. Put it this way, my last boat was a Graupner Systems Catamaran, running twin geared 550 brushed motors into a single surface drive on 14 Nicad cells....we thought this thing was amazing at 20-25 mph....I had dumas wooden hydro's that would run a little faster but only on a glass surface and not for very long. Now days, RTR's are faster than that. Anyway, looking forward to blowing some money on something from fightercats in the 37-41" range and seeing firsthand how far things have come. Alan

Good luck and you are in the right place! Lots of good people and an unlimited amount of knowledge. (Not from me-:). I'm always learning too!! Lol.
