LOL. Happy Thanksgiving Don. Can't wait to see pics of the new 1/8th scale. My new gas mono and FE Tunnel are just about done. I may be working on a boat or two over the winter for spring SAWs.

Mike;
I got the 80 and 100V controllers for you to try on the SAW boats from Ben.

Also getting ready to slowly put together the twin Cat over the winter and maybe the 10S mono as well.

waiting for the 2nd 6S 300A controller to arrive.

[ron1950]

only 6s and 300a? i am looking for at least a 10s 300a...any idears where i can get one?

[Chilli]

Were you going to do a SAW cat for spring trials Carl? If so what class?

I was thinking of doing P-Sport Hydro and Q-Tunnel (cat). I have everything I need for the Sport Hydro. I have to decide what hull I want for the Cat.

[carlcisneros]

going to try and do a 6S cat and maybe a 10S mono.

maybe just a 10S mono.

Ben suggested the 32" river cat he has for SAW.

Ron;

[carlcisneros]

Ron;
I have been using/testing his 6S 300A, 16S 200A and the smaller 6S 140 and 160A esc's and all have performed great.

[Chilli]

Hey Richard, Just got back in from out of town. We are an active club. Our numbers are down from years past due to the economy but we have a half dozen core members and are always looking to get the membership up. I would love to get the club numbers up so we can have more formal events every couply weeks. But for now we mostly runs informal test n tunes at the club pond and once a year we hold a IMPBA District 12 race which is in two weeks. Many members also travel to other District races in the region (within a couple hours drive). They are a great bunch of racers in the the district. Good, knowledgable people wiling to share what they know.

I see on the other thread you were possibly interested in racing with us. The first thing you'll have to do is join the IMPBA (www.impba.net). That will cost you a little over $50 bucks. If you join online, you can email the IMPBA President and he'll get your IMPBA number immediately. Then if you want to give racing a shot, fill out the race flyer to run the novice class for $8. If you decide this is something you want to do, you can join the club and have access to the club pond and retrieval boat on weekends (with prior coordination from the management). Racing in our district is a weekend thing. We race most of the day on Saturdays and through early afternoon on Sundays. We run four heats per class. The points tally at the end of four heats determines the winner for the weekend.

If you do not want to commit to racing yet, drop by and check out the action. Some club members are also going to be at West Potomac High School (south of Alexandria) all day next Saturday at RC Mania. We'll have a bunch of boats on display.
