I was going through pictures in my Photobucket the other day and had some nice laughs, some laughs I'd like to share with you guys. I saw pictures of the first boats I started messing with when I got into this hobby about 3 years ago. A lot of people have come and gone on this forum. Some originals are still here so they might remember how silly some of the stuff I did/said/ask was. Still is sometimes lol. For you newer guys, this is a good share for you to show you that you can progress greatly in your own builds after a little time.
Short story. This is how I got into this. I grew up in a poor-ish family and as a kid my parents couldn't afford stuff like this (Rc boats, cars etc....although I did get into Rc cars with the financial help of my grandmother). One of my kids told me he wanted an Rc boat for his birthday one year so I picked him up a 26" proboat shockwave, instantly I was hooked. Back to the hobbyshop I went. Of course I couldn't keep it stock. I threw a momba monster 2 esc and a 1512 2650kv motor in it. It was basically uncontrollable at this point, not fast but I thought/felt like it was. Here's the boat that started it all for me.
Follow along as I list my progressions in building.
