    Bit of Rough Water Running

    We were planning this Sunday run all week at the club pond but crappy weather pushed us to the local spot. WHERE, the wind was blowin'. But had a hoot anyway. Here is mine with Some of the gasser in as well



    I have some of the Pursuit as well and will load it tonight

    I took the time this AM instead to upload the Pursuit vid



    It faired real well in the waves actually. By no means full throttle but a good clip could be had.

          Vancouver is truly beautiful, been there once!
          Shawn, 1st clip the first picture your boat looks absolutely amazingly beautiful on the water, love that shot.


          Years ago I took a Traxxas Villain to Wyoming's Yellowstone Lake and did some wave jumping, it was so much fun.
          Too many boats, not enough time...

            Thank You Tim. I think it turned out really well. It sure took me long enough to get the hatch painted.
            I was impressed with the AC, I didn't push it too hard because it was no weather for the dingy.

              And that is the chop I plan to run in.... Always windy down here on the Gulf Coast.

              Looks like your boats did well!
              Why are you bothering me? I want to see your boat!

                I was thinking a Racemaster hull would be best for the rough but both of these faired well in that. I actually did not know it was so tough and windy when I left home that day. It is its own challenge running in it, a little nerve racking. I'd like to see vid of your runs when they happen too.

                  So I got my rough water without the rain. Here is the Pursuit in the first part of the vid running 10,000mah of ThunderPower batteries and then only 8,000mah while running with Gary and his Revolt. It was fun running around with another. I didn't get too close as things are a little unpredictable in these seas,LOL. This is a bit of a long vid but I think entertaining



                  I have the Geico Twin to add to this as well

                    Enjoyed watching it! Fun fun fun!
                    Must say that the Revolt really runs well. I wasn't surprised how well the Pursuit runs. I was never interested in it having moved away from RTRs, I see why everyone who owns it loves this boat.

                      Yeah, I was really surprised myself. Especially for a 4s1p setup. But it held the water just fine.

                      I am also surprised that no flips happened with this one, The Twin Miss G:

                        Twin Miss G runs nicely. I always liked the MG Theme, twins are just that much more fun for me. Love it! ( just don't give me any more ideas that I can't handle )
                        Man, that is some chops

                          Thanks, I like the Geico theme too, have tempted to do it on the HPR but I do have something else in mind there. OOPS, there I go again, sorry buddy. Lol
