I must suffer from the same sickness, but now I'm going to larger gas boats

[Insanity Plea]

I'm going back gas racing next year, just have to blow the dust off those. I'm new to FE, always steered clear of electronic stuff until now. I'll get my mess right and purge all the extras when I'm done.

Scott, why back to gassers?

[Insanity Plea]

Scott, why back to gassers?

It's really quite simple. When it runs out of gas, add more and go! Plus I like working on the engines and tuning.

FE has its advantages too though. Getting batteries charged at home allows you to just plug and run when you get to the water, easier to pack up and leave too.

[CraigP]

I do miss the engine work... but not the smell and the mess in the water! Our Unlimited left less oil in the water than my nitro boat did! All that stuff, battery starters and belts, glow plug attachments.. I remember it all well! The smell of the boat after running it a bit. But I'm not missing those nitro bills!

I would like to build a turbine boat model some year.

[Insanity Plea]

Oh no, when I say gas I speak of 2 stroke large scale gas. I haven't messed with nitro in 15 years.

[CraigP]

Oh, some big dogs!! Are they hydros?

[CraigP]

See, I used to be a mechanic when younger. I went into Electrical Engineering and kinda lost interest in being a gear head. So I'm enjoying overcoming some of the problems in FE right now. 3KW in 36"!

Aeromarine conquest (cat) & Herzog hurricane (mono). Maybe hydro in the future

[CraigP]

Good hulls!

[Tamelesstgr]

Herzog hurricane (mono)

I was looking at this hull, but am buying a Stryker Y6 mono from Jim's RC Boat Dock

[Insanity Plea]

That's a good boat. I prefer a canopy myself to keep the water out, but an open hull is better on hot summer days to keep the motor cool.

[Tamelesstgr]

I like the realistic look with a canopy, but this Stryker hull has some sexy lines for sure. 26cc full mod motor, supposed to GPS at 58mph

[Insanity Plea]

The hurricane is running 60 with a 29 mod motor, 7016/3. Conquest is at 60 also with a stock 26, 2716. Speeds come down a little in race trim. My dad is twisting my arm to come out this year and run, between him and talking about it up here, I might not be able to wait until next year. Twin 16 month old girls and a 4 month old baby is keeping me at home on the weekends right now.

Boy, you don't mess around when it comes to making babies either........
My boys are 11 and 9
