      actually, I removed the turn fin b/c I didn't want to break the hull until I had a chance to reinforce it.

      I figure rubbin is part of racing and you take your lumps as they come. He clobberd me a little while later and took a much smaller chunk from my hull. NBD.

      We've decided that there's little point in having show boats if we are actually going to run them. Bring on the battle wounds and more stickers...
      5 cars, 9 trucks, 2 scale, 1 crawler, 2 boats, 8 helis, 3 planes, 1 jet, a hydralic endloader, and that’s just the ones that are rtr or nearly so, not even counting the ones in a bucket, ugh, I got it bad.

        SV lost control flipped, there was no time to react to avoid a crash...
        nobody's at fault.

          I will not enter a vote as to who was at fault as I do not race in any way.

          This is why I run solo. Me alone. If my boat gets damaged then it is my fault. END
          I swerve for a duck....my bad
          I hit a marker float.....my bad
          I hit the reeds at the end of the pond &^%$#@! .....my bad

          I love to watch racing but will not partake as I do not want my boats banged up by more people than me.

          "Rubbing is racing"
          from what film?
          See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with wood

                  Super Flip didn't hold his lane.

                  You guys need to go the RIGHT way around the course!

                    I was waiting for a comment like that.... this was definitely flipper's fault, for not getting a UL1 instead..

                      That would be Harry Hogge aka Robert Duvall

                        real boats turn left. So should models. Electric motors run both directions so no excuse.

                          Yeah, but turning left only gives you 2 prop options lol..
                          Both at fault for racing with no boueys. Ul-1 was looking like it was running on nimh
                          Whie the sv-27, well, I think other guys have expressed my feelings on those flighty little buggers

                            as I said in the first post, the UL1 was running on a broken prop, it was screaming the day before.

                            wait'll you see the next time it runs...on 6s

                                A crash was inevitable. Not only were you mainly turning the wrong way(LEFT) but you were doing figure eights. Someone was going to hit someone sooner or later.
                                Both those boats (as others have stated) are set up to turn RIGHT.
                                They will turn right faster & with more stability than they will to the left.
                                Give it a go next time. You'll find it much easier.
                                I realise you guys are having fun, but you might as well have fun properly.
                                Cheers.

                                See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!
