yeah it was a good time man... and joe's mean machine on 8s WHOA!!! ridiculous!!!! its a shame it happened and he got discouraged... but man, i've never seen anything go that fast haha. 65,000 rpm is SICK!! the tunnel hull was looking better than i expected, nice stable boat you got there leon, whats her name? thanks norman for the motor mount and the welcome to use your great location and beautiful basement/shop. excellent!Comment

Yeah, I had a blast guys...We gotta video tape our sessions for the other Eastern Mass guys to see what they are missing...At one time, we had four boats running flat out...We need to setup a course for next time, it was like driving in a parking lot with your eyes closed and everyone comming from different directions....really feel bad about Joes MM...we have all been there...I was wondering why that thing was running like nothing I've ever seen, holy crap!Comment

Dana, make sure you bench test the AQ motor and ESC before you install it..Kintec also makes an awesome water jacket,,,and try that water pressure test first that I showed you..Leon, that AM Tunnel Hull rocks, just don't throw bricks at it to make ripples behind the boat for boat retrievel !Comment

We should all keep our eyes open for a used controller for Joe...Hate to see him bow out, he was just starting to learn and ask all the right questions..kinda makes me wonder about a CC240HV on 8S,,,,once I saw that thing launching out of the water like an ICBM missle, it got my juices flowing........Next time, we setup a BBQ with the wives and kids, maybe we could get Steve V down with his kids and wife too, after all, he is the father of FE, eastern mass !Comment

It was a fun day of running and aside from Joe everyone's boats ran great, and even his ran great for the 15 sec. it was out there. I hope Joe stays with it, that will be a great boat once he gets it fixed. When his esc. went it took my packs with it, they started to get bigger as the day went on so I had to dispose of them before something bad happened.
Lets set something up in a couple weeks

sorry to hear about your packs kevin, that stinks, but nice of you to sacrifice them. norm, as it turns out the water jacket was completely effed, i got it off and the o rings were shredded and the collars that hold them on were stripped, so ill purchase an ose jacket. the motor looks to be in good shape tho, so score on that. not sure if i wanna keep the speed control tho, i realized it IS the older version that were giving people problems... but how much for just the motor? also thank you much for the motor mount, you sure i cant buy you another one? i would hate to see you need one and not have it =) im def down if you wanna do a cookout man, i think it'd be a blast! you're place is comfortable and ive only been there twice! you're a very welcoming guy norm.... leon didnt throw any bricks yesterday did he? haha!!! poor joe. someone has an etti 150 on here for 80 bucks if joe wantsComment

dana, yeah, we figured it would leak, thats why I tagged it, listen to the grim, the new jackets are simple......I dunno, 50 bucks?....stack some caps ($5) onto the controller (blurry pic) and they hold up just fine.....Comment

Kevin, I have 2 brand new hyperion 3S 5000 packs you can have, I was going to fit them into the ul1, but I wont get to it till the winter, so you can take them next time you're down....they're not 4S but we can all see what 8S can do now, I want to!...I think Joe needs to get a 240HV controller, and run at least 6S anyways to push that sled.............Comment
