    Default Team Fembot (South Eastern VA)

    Welcome to:



    Fast Electric Model Boats Of Tidewater

    They are a completely unorganized group. They have no website, no meetings, no dues, no classes, no racing, no trophies, and most importantly... no rules!
    Just bring your boats and have a great time running with whoever is left.

    Just curious what the "no rules" clubs are doing about insurance?
    Home owners, AMA? Private pond, public waterway?

    Good luck FEMBOTS!!

    I have blue cross blue shield. I dunno about the others.

    Since we don't run "real" races, and we have no "real" events. It's really just a bunch of friends with RC boats out for a run.
    I can add your name to the list if you like?

    I didn't see anywhere on the RTR package that read "Must be insured to operate this device"
    Maybe it was in the fine print on the instructions

    As always.

    Typically, there is never any more than 1 boat in the water at a time, unless the rescue boat services are required.

    Insurance is only a requirement to protect stupid people.


    Just remember, You guys live in the lawsuit capital of the world....no-one is acountable for their own actons,,,,everyone else is.

    We are better (Canadians) but are trying our best to catch up with you (based on some really stupid court decisions lately)

    Stupid people need to be pushed to the outside of the herd to be picked off by the predators, unfortunately society seems to want to coddle them.

    OK, Femmie has been spotted and something tells me, that Dirty has a hand in it (after seeing the duck decoy run w/brushless setup).

    If I had to guess, this is what he used before he threw spare parts at it: http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20060...-ness-monster/

    Have you guys ever googled for fembot? I sure wouldn't want to be a member. And you under-18 types, DON'T google for it!

    I remember an old TV show or movie or something where the term came up, ages and ages ago.

    I'd give a kidney to become a FEMBOT. Well you know, not become an actual fembot, but rather a member of the FEMBOT's. Have you seen my baseball?

    You already are!
    Did diego and dirty show you the christening of the kb 45 and esc (with 4S lipo's) that you gave me for the cat? It was ugly and dirty is the one laughing on the infamous video (which was maybe 4-5 seconds).

    About the baseball - does it float?
