    Default Smokin Joe's

    Just picked up a gorgeous Smokin Joe's 1/8 scale from a club member. It's Duck's nitro boat he converted to FE it was in a little mishap and needs the windshield replaced (new one came with it), and there was a repair on the sponson that should be repainted. Came with all the hardware, Neu 1527, esc and an extra set of decals.

    Settled on $850 CAN that's like $100 US lol. The second wing in the front is servo controlled, I have a gyro from a drift car I might have to try on it.

    Very cool. Always been one of my favorite schemes.

    Do you guys have enough electric scales to make heats up there?

    This boat was #2 and the Executone I'm building will be the third boat. Guess I'll have to hire a driver now lol.

    Duck has a mono and a rigger painted the same, it would be quite a fleet. :)

    I just realized this is one of your boats :)
    Had my first test run on 10s with a X450, it ran great, temps were fine, maxed out at 140 amps.

    And happy birthday

    I've got one of those hulls, if you are interested. Shipping is very expensive on these big boats though

    Resurrecting my old thread, the Smokin Joes needed a major rebuild after discovering the sealed off area of the transom in the rear winglet was rotten and there big cracks around the winglet. (Where the rudder was attached).
    This boat was raced hard as a nitro boat before its FE conversion and there were a number of previous repairs and areas that needed attention. Plus there was a ton of paint to sand, I discovered the cowl was once painted in Winston orange.
    I changed the motor mount to a top loader, the old mount was built in before it?s conversion making it impossible to change the motor. Also made a box for the rudder servo that is attached to the back of the main compartment.
    Everything is now in primer and pretty much sanded, just need a bit of warmer weather to start putting some colour on.

    Looking good. It's a shame that it needed that much work. Can't wait to see it repainted.

    Update on my Smokin Joe?s, I finally painted it and finished the decals. Ready for clear and then can get it back together. It got delayed, I had to put together a new nitro scale and I also built a gas Whiplash over the winter. Plus the ML Executone FE 1/8 scale I started years ago is ready for paint.
