    Yeah, those with higher freeboards are even used in open water running! They're stable and jumps the chops - just like the real ones!
    Tell you what bud - I'll give the $80 and you go pick it up! :)

              Hay Ed i felt the same way on my first build but i perchased a RTR boat to play with while finishing the build on the first one and after running the RTR boat then i was gunho in building the first one and the RTR gave me an idea what i was going to have to do build wise!!! I recomend you buy one of those smaller cheaper boats to play with and youll get the gusto to build the other one!!

                  at this point, even if i do build it not sure where i would run it. weather is getting colder. i guess as long as the lake doesn't freeze over i should be fine. good thing i'm not living in montreal anymore :)

                          8.) CF servo mount.
                          9.) Traxxas 2075 servo.

                          Things needed:

                          1.) Rudder
                          2.) Twin 3/16 Stingers
