Status: offline 		To tell the truth the two bladed Y535 is the best. The 435 is a bit sluggish in the corners with a stock Vegas .18 engine. We have taken it off the market. it only benifits a hopped up .18 engine. The Y535 we carry is cut down to work on the Vegas. I am a metal man, but there is nothing wrong with the mold injected black props. they just dont last in dirty ponds. If you read in the forum you will find many tips on making your Vegas a flying machine....

Mike is right, our Vegas Turn Fin has been released.

Have you tested both the grimracer and your turn fin. Are they the same or is there differences? If this topic is too sensitive please PM me.

Status: offline 		As far as turn fins, its all in your style and flavor partly, but it really comes down to what works for you. In our case the Grim fin was not a fin we could use. It carried a strength issues for us, this is why we produce the Boogie Man. I have seen the Grim fin on many boats and seems to work well for them. But at the same time I have seen alot of them lost to hazards in the water, but this can happen to any turn fin that is not break away. The other reason we created the Boogie Man fin...it breaks away, to stop turn fin destruction.

Status: offline 		Well I suppose if he beats me Sunday, he will want Jerry next I am sure, but be careful...he can roll the Vegas and recover...LoL

Let me tell you a funny story about Sam. This last Sunday he launched his Miss Vegas for the first time...with in a hour he is making challenges around the club. So he jumps in with some 1/12 Bud and LLumar boats to run a heat...to our surprise he gave us a run for our money....matter of fact...in turn two he had the Bud fly out...and same turn on next lap..Lumar run dry on fuel...Forgot to mention there is a dead red Vegas in turn two also....so here comes Sam around turn four and down the straight. He hits turn one and never lets off. You could see the worry on every adults face as Sam barreled down on three dead boats in turn two....the tower was silent...But you could hear Sams dad....right right right left left right...and that is how Sam drove....missing every boat in turn two...Sam comes into shore and gets a loud comment from one adult....see you dont have to be good to win...you just have to come in first...

As far as the tank Ron is right any plane tank is good, as long as it fits well, just dont use the clunk pick up. You will want a rubber hose pick up, not the straight pipe in plane tank...we turn right and all the fuel goes to the left, if the clunk is not there...you will stall in corners...
