NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

Q- OFFSHORE

I do like the spec classes it gets a lot more people raceing which is the goal but I don,t want to give up on the outher classes at the same time. I think a mix is good.

[obrien]

I agree mike. I am only saying that to help get more people into the sport.


What p-mono did you get ray?

[sailr]

Absolutely! Gotta have a mix of boats and classes but I'm also really pushing for as many SPEC classes as possible. The requirement to use the small selection of motors equalizes things a bit, giving the newbie a chance to be competitive.
Next we will do P SPEC Tugboats. Haaaar!

[sailr]

I would LOVE to see crackerboxes but the selection of 1/10 hydros available?

how about some 1/10 crackerboxes or hydros ?

[sailr]

Hmmm? Get your eyes checked
I'll leave Q offshore to you big boys with the big bucks!

NEED MORE Q-OFFSHORE TOO........sorry for the caps..I'm all for spec, but dont want to homogenize it either. If we're going to run on a 1/6 course, we need some boats you can see.

[sailr]

If my back doesn't get better, I need a 'staff' to load the car, unload the car, set up the table, get the boats ready, put 'em in the water, hand me the transmitter while I'm in my easy chair lakeside ready to race!

Hahaah. Any volunteers?

[sailr]

OK, it's in stone. Next get together is at the Sarasota Akerman Park lake site, 9 a.m., July 26th! Whatcha bringin'? Need to get the classes organized. VISITORS MORE THAN WELCOME!

[obrien]

I will have the same as last time. P-mono and Spec Hydro. Maybe we can get some of the wave blasters to come over.

[RayR]

P-Spec Sport (LSH) and P-Spec Rigger for me.

Ray

[sailr]

IF, and it's still a big IF, I can run by then, it will be P-mono and LSH unless I can get my Spec rigger going by then. I doubt it.

[hebner]

If my motor gets back from Neu soon and hatch I ordered for DF33 P-Mono, Also have my spec VS1 tunnel with UL-1 motor & esc finished, who else has a tunnel? Not sure if P-spec rigger will be done by 26th if not will run LSH with Vac-U- Pickle hydro will also bring Q boat team believer cat.

[RayR]

Please don't forget, we need a few SV27's. Don't want to scare Rick away before he gets his P-Mono built.

Heck Hugh, I'm just tryin to get my P-Spec rigger done so Mikey doesn't feel alone! Seriously, I have a Spec tunnel, just won't have time to ready it before race day.


All the best.

I've been shopping for a good used SV27 for months. Idiots on flea bay want rediculous prices for beat up boats. If anybody has one they want to sell for a REASONABLE price let me know. The ONLY reason I want one is to get more people in that class. It's not that I'm crazy about the boat!

[obrien]

I hi nk I am going to build a DF25 knock off with an SV or UL1 setup. You can get the hull shipped for less than $70.

[RayR]

So the goal is to make a SV27 run with a Spec DF25? Doesn't seem quite fair to me.

Just tossin out some thoughts.
