The Twin Cities Model Boat Club with it's great gas and nitro pond is adding three FE classes for it's next season of racing. In fact I will be at the pond today testing my gas and FE boats. It's a well prepared pond with driver stand, pit area and retrieval boat. Come join us. All that is needed to use the pond is IMPBA and TCMBC membership. Minnesota FE racers have no excuse to run any more.
I'm from Blaine MN, live on a electric only lake, and I got 4 runs in today
Ah, its in Egan
too far away for this guy, I know of a club that meets at the Target Pond on Bunker lake Road and Hansen Blvd. Its a retention pond for the parking lot runoff
I'm in Shoreview, I just run alone or with a buddy of mine that's got 2 boats.
Always interested in running with new people.
Snowing today though, might be the end of the season for me.
Anyone around the metro area can feel free to hit me up. I only just started this summer!
I'll be out tomorrow and this Friday in the 50 degree weather for sure
You're crazy! :)
There's a RC Swap meet tomorrow (sunday) at noon, if you weren't aware. Out in Moundsview, at a bowling/event center called The Mermaid.
It's mostly car and truck stuff, but there's soemtimes a few planes, a heli or 2 and maybe a couple boats. Mixed bag, but mostly surface stuff.
I've gotta make an appearance!

Did you get any deals????
I spent 1/2 an hour working a aquacraft L40 x 57 prop.
Out of the package they do not work at all go figure, I did read a couple articals before I started the balance and sharpen.
My boat went 40mph with the stock plastic prop. I got 2 runs in 1 at 56mph and 1 at 62 mph. WOW, I did note that it takes a bit of time to get the prop to grap the water, it cavitates I wonder if I can improve on this? more prop work? angle of attack prop/water?

Hi Guys Bill Wachtler from TCMBC. I know it's winter now but you guys should give organized racing a try. We added FE to our classes at the end of last year and are really looking forward to 2012. Pond is not to far from the Mall of America. Probably about half hour to forty five minute drive from where you are. Any questions post here or call me at 715 308 1613.
do you have a Chapter in the North Metro? I live on a electric only lake in Blaine MN, kind of tough to pull me off the lake here.

No we don't. We also race nitro and that greatly reduces the number of places we can run. Do you race on your lake or just test and play?
Test and Play, 3 of us have a Traxxas Spartan and I have a UL-1 that I got up to 62.3 mph yesterday, STOCK, and a rigger I am setting up electric.
Wow! you guys really need to think about racing with us next year. The Spartans could run in RTR and the UL-1 could run in RTR or P-Limited Sport Hydro. Their is nothing like getting on the clock and hitting the starting line with 6 to 8 other boats. Then hauling down into the first turn with so much water flying that you may or may not lose sight of your boat for a second or two. I've been doing this for over 15 years and still get excited. If your UL-1 is running in the 60"s you will kick some serious butt. Think about it. All for now. Bill
Do you have any classes for custom setups?
I'd most like to run my one-off 28" mono, but it's got a t-180 & 2150kv 4074 motor.
I do have my supervee with an 1800 Aquacraft motor though, I'm sure that would fit somewhere.
Hi. We are running P-Limited Tunnel, P-Limited Sport Hydro, and RTR. The Supervee would fit in the ready to run class. We are using it as a catch all class right now so anyone who shows up with a RTR can run it. It takes 3 boats to make a class. We already have a couple SV's so I am pretty sure a class would make and you would run only with other SV's, if not you would still be able to run but their would be a mixture of hulls. We don't have a class for your one-off mono and probably won't unless we get a lot of interest in an open class. From Shoreview you are only about a half hour from our pond. We would like to see you and your friends race with us next summer. If you have any questions you can check out our web site at TCMBC.ORG or call me at 715 308 1613. Bill
