      There are several places to run around the area. Where are you located?

        Welcome to OSE. I too have a brushless tunnel. If you're close, lets run!

          I live around the Chesapeake area, great bridge. I've ran in a few parks but got asked to leave due to restraint times being 1-4pm Sunday only. With my work schedule I have to work odd days and would like to find a location to run and race.....I'm currently setting up a Stiletto...should be decent once i get it dialed in. let me know where the hot spots are and race days....can travel a little bit too.

          Thanks!

            The Cape Henry RC model boat club meets almost every Sunday 11.00 - 2.00 at Diamond lake. There are a few of us that run at a couple of other places here in Va Bch as well. We don't race but do have fun seeing what our boats can do. ODMBA has not had any races this year and I am not sure about next year as not much information has been forthcoming. Send me a pm and we will get together somewhere on a weekend if possible.

              Diamond lake....hmmm not sure where its located will have to find it out. Sounds good. Does Cape Henry Have a web page ? Sounds like fun , I will have to meet up and check it out. I'v been reading the post from everyone previous , is there any other locations that anyone knows of? looking to get away from local parks and high populated places...? If anything comes to mind let me know by PM or post it here. thanks , took my tunnel out the other day , running decent but waiting on some new lipos and a new prop to really move it! thanks for everyone with the info.

                It's near the North Hampton Blvd/Baker Rd intersection in Virginia Beach. We also run at a small pond near Shipps Corner but it's more for testing because of it's size.

                    Glad I found you guys. I am building a couple of experimental boats with EP1 outboards with new Leopard motors. Would like to meet at the lake on a Sunday or any other day someone would like to meet. What are the requirements for the club?

                            Considering it's been 3 years since I posted, no response, I would say not.

                              Yes, ODMBA is back, with a new site in Smithfield VA, 40 or more members and hosting a District race soon and a Gas Clash event late July. Stronger than ever! Mike
