Well the end of this year sucks a little. I blew a rod in my compressor pump Friday, ordered a new one to be delivered between Dec 29 to Jan 5.

What's going on Randy? I will be running three classes this year! Sport 20, Sport 40II and now I will be running 1/8th scale electric. I am building the Budweiser T-4 hydro. I'm heading out to Fremont January 15th for the meeting. Got my Winston Eagle running that you built for me, and it is quick.

Hi Todd Long time no talkie. Lots of work in the shop and a new sport 20. I am also building a new 58X15 garage to work with my son. I have a new 4 cell rigger I am building for my self. That must be the membership meeting for the Model Mariners I have been looking for a email for it. I will be there can not wait to see the Eagle with that 45 in it. A picture of the new boat.

That hydro looks great! Sounds like you have a ton of projects going on there. Yeah, decided to build a 1/8th with a Neu motor on 10s. Should be a quick one, and it gives me one more class to race in. The meeting is the 15th at 10:30am. Not sure if I am supposed to bring my boats. But I do want to join the model mariners.

[RandyatBBY]

Yes I will be bring my boats to Fremont. We may be running this Sunday at Heather Farms electric only. What size Neu? I have up to a 2230 in mine

[Todd Fleury]

I thought there was a size rescriction, so I was going to use a Neu 1527 1.5y I think on 10s. Do I need a bigger motor? I was told it woul hit mid 60s with that set up.

No that is my SAW motor LOL. Just thought I would scare ya a little. The Neu 1527 1.5y is a great motor (it will be real fast). We have a mixxed class running from 6S to 10S I have a Lepard 5692 running on 6S2P for oval.

[Todd Fleury]

Whew! Don't do that to me lol. But I'll be running 10s. Not sure what batteries to buy or even a charger. I was thinking around $500? First electric, so no clue.

The compressor pump came today, I am spending the day installing it. Then this evening I am going to run SC at Hobbbytown Concord.

[RandyatBBY]

I just finished installing the pump, so sweet 11.9 CFM at 90PSI. Painting will be fun again!!!!!

Long time No talk. I need to paint mine, OH well a thousand things to do. Have a happy new year.

Actually every one have a Happy New Year!

Neet little trick to help have a flat strut. Hold it down to the table with a C clamp also hold the transom up with wood blocks to correct height, then tighten.
