      Good luck guys. A bit of a write up and some pics would be good if either of you get the time but I guess that is not easy when you are racing.

          What class does the BJ26 fit into on 4s?

          Also what is th best method for fitting a cutoff loop?
          i am currently running low - mid 80's KPH with the blackJack stock motor and ESC and 4s 5000mah 25c.

          i am keen to get into real competition racing.

            I see you give Scott the easy job.
            He does the writing while you take the pics of girls in bikinis holding the boats.

              Hi Apples,

              A BJ on 4S would have to run in the 4S Sport Hydro class. When we structured the motor rules, the Proboat motor wasn't nominated for the Restricted class, so you'd have to run with the open motors.

              There are a lot of ways to put a safety loop together. On some of my boats I have a male plug on each end of my loop, with the female plugs flush with the deck. The female plugs are held under the deck with a screw perpendicular to the plug, which gives enough grip to stop the plug moving, but allows the plugs to be removed.

              Cheers,
              Scott

                Hey Scott,

                Do we have any idea yet on how many racers are turning up.

                  Not sure Jimmy, Trev or Dave would know the numbers. I'm not sure how many from our club have entered yet, I know I'm guilty of not having my entry in.

                  I know of two from Sydney, potentially 4.

                              Always Steven!!

                              Seriously, if you'd like to donate something for the raffle, send me an email, and I'll forward it to the race secretary. We always like stuff from OSE!

                              We've received 81 entries from 17 competitors, so it should be a great meeting. Can't wait!

                              How long to go Jim?
