    Default Added a second water pickup

    The competition in NAMBA D19 P-Ltd. Cat is heating up, literally. The most fun race class ever, but not very stator-friendly as air/water temps are skyrocketing.Add to that, running under gas/nitro rules, we do a full mill, six lap race plus a cooldown lap and the occasional penalty lap. While I'm fully aware that the correct setup trumps all the watercooling in the world, adding a second pickup to give the motor a direct shot of cooling water rather than getting it after being pre-heated coming from the ESC may add just a tiny bit more insurance, so why not ?

    Yup- I wanted to adjust the pickup depth with the largest prop I use with the AQ2030 BUT I'll prop down for the sprint race.

    I was getting water in the tub until I did this - added it and now runs dry inside.

    Reggae music provides the perfect vibe while building boats. Plays all day in my shop.

    You are silly, "Pressure Drop" is one of my favorites.
