Where Racing on a Budget is a Reality!
I forgot to mention, anyone thats within driving distance or has the means to fly to this event should put it way up on the "to do" list.
I have personally met a few of these guys, These drivers and support crew are some of the top drivers and builders willing to share info to anyone thats willing to listen or ask for it! If your into rc electric hydros this will be the place to be in October!

This isn't it, just an update..
Been busy in the shop.
That's my bud John Snider (Torkit) doing some soldering on the Hydra 120s.
The boats are coming along pretty well. When the rest of the piece parts get here I'll be ready! I'll making a trip to Vac-U-Boat tomorrow to discuss the decal layout with Phil. Stay tuned!!

The order arrived from Offshore Electrics!!
Water cooling jackets, thrust bearings, pushrod seals and antenna tubes w/ mounts.
Steven is also providing the props for these boats. They are backordered from Octura, but will be shipped directly to the event CD and master prop tweaker Chris Harris, as soon as they are available.
Thank you Steven and OSE, I couldn't finish these without you!!
Gotta go, I'm a week behind.
