Sunday looks like it may be doable to run. The rain should be over by then hopefully.

If weather holds out we should be running in Bradenton Sunday. Brian (RCKong) and Rich (Richard) are down that way. You could shoot them a PM.

Did you guys get a chance to run today (1/11)? What times do you normally run on the two Sunday's a month?

I just got back into RC boating. Been doing 1/10 off road for awhile (just bashing) and occasionally fly with my dad down off of 69th St. E near Buffalo Creek Middle School. I have been into RC since I was a kid. Back in September 2015 my dad got our old 40" Wardcraft Deep Vee down out of the attic. He was going to give it away but I grabbed it, repainted it and converted it from nitro to FE. It is no where near what you guys appear to be running, but on its maiden voyage it was fast enough for me on half throttle. It still needs some setup work done to it I'm sure but it was pretty exciting.

I live up in Tampa near downtown and will probably be running it in saltwater (I know, corrosive). It took awhile to get it cleaned up after the first run, but not too bad. I sprayed the heck out of the drive train with Corrosion X after rinsing everything in fresh water. Hopefully this will be enough to keep it clean.

Anyway, just been lurking on your threads trying to see what's up. The pics of your boats on your website are very impressive.

Take care,

Matt
