      Ok, we are taking a inventory this weekend. I think we can have enough boats to play. But probably not competitive.

      I will need lots of battery packs. whats everyone using these days? I want to stay clear of the Hyperion im selling due to voltage issues.

        I really wish I could make it out there to hang with the cool kids. I had planned on it, but my plans were changed for me.

        Steve, the big brands are all good, Giants, Revos, Dinogy etc. My turnigys are OK, but they simply don't last like the others I've found.

          Hi Steve,
          Glad to hear you and the boys are coming. It will be great for us all to see each other again.
          This is an annual can't miss event !!!
          As I mentioned to you before this is one of the best if not the best race site in the country.
          I am sure you have seen the pictures (most of them not showing Davis in a thong).
          It is just a perfect set-up, the sheltered pond, plenty of room and the elks club overlooking the site.
          Perfect place to race have fun and socialize. Does dot get dark till near 9:00 either.
          Many battery options, I race mostly Thunder Power, but the Giant Power packs are very popular too.
          mostly 65-70C 5000mah non HV packs by most of the racers as far as I know.
          Getting excited about this years event, bringing the family again too,
          See you soon,

                Holy crap. A Vaccaro sighting! That's great news Steven. Can't wait.

                I'm a Giant Power guy but there are some great options available right now. Tom has been running the b'geezus out of Roaring Top's. Pretty good so far. He's whip my hinney in multiple classes with those. It could be that he's built a better mouse trap but the batteries haven't let him down thus far. We've recently been experimenting with some Turnigy Graphene packs. It's too early for me to vouch for them but the packaging is outrageous. Each pack comes with a Crown Royal type bag to keep them in. I was impressed with these but they're brand new with almost no runs. Everything is great brand new.

                Just give any one of us a call to talk boats. Tell us what you have and we'll tell you how to get passed just showing up and on to competitive. That's true on race day too. The group that races this event is more into everyone competing and enjoying racing than they are into "I must win to be happy". Everybody likes to win but it doesn't define them.

                  For that matter, just tell us what you want to race that you don't have boats for. Some of us have multiple options for multiple classes. I know for certain those that do would have no problem handing one off to you or your boys.

                      Will definitely miss the Canucks!!

                      Ray - Sorry to hear that you guys aren't feeling well. If you have even an inkling to race, just run one class with us! Would be great to see you! Shoot, I live here.......and sometimes I only race 1 class!!! : )
