    Indeed - careful where you go swimming.

    However - I have to admire your spirit in trying to retrieve your lost SV27. You've shown true dedication to the cause right there! I too have had to take the odd swim to retrieve a flipped over or reed-caught boat - but never in a river I'd have to say. I live in Australia so the cold is never really an issue here.

    Never mind. Take it like a man and salute your lost boat over a stiff beverage. I too shall mourn it's passing....... :)

        Hey Makin' Waves!

        I'm on the other side of the continent (or island-continent) unfortunately - In Perth. Only the Nullarbor plus another coupla thousand Km in between you and me I know there's a few guys from OZ on the RCgroups.com forum but not sure about where they all live. I have the same problem actually - finding people with similar interests to race against etc without actually needing to join a club. I've seen a few boats of varying types out and about in OZ but so far nothing to run against my little collection. SV27's have been available in OZ for a while so people must run them ..... somewhere. Do you actually run in the ocean over there? I went for a blast on the coast over here and just ran a heap of fresh water through afterward plus gave the flex cable a lengthy WD40 bath afterward - along with with a liberal dose of WD40 for everything else. As summer wears on I think my lakes will disappear.

          Hey Iron-paww,

          Yeah too far to meet up mate! lol.

          I don't run mine in the ocean that would be too much hassle, but I have no choice but to run in salt water. I just make sure i rinse everything and flush out the cooling tubes every time i run my boat.

          I'm lucky where I live cos theres heaps of places to run the boat, But I've only found a bunch of old guys with sail boats so far, don't think theyd appreciate
          my sv ripping past them every second or so!

          Also mate have you tried 'innox' spray instead of the ol wd40? I find it much better and it doesn't really have a smell like wd40. you should give it a try. I spay it all over my hardware after a run and use it to help protect all my electrics aswell.

          Have fun mate
