Status: offline 		Iam really digging the gas hydro 1/8/scale racers. Super wicked fast heat races and tons of close racing action. Iam running a seaducer hydro with QD 25 race motor. insanely fast boat hard to keep from running up the back of slower boats
Iam also running a whh stingray 1/5 scale shovelnose hydro. This boat is a beast but fun to drive, heavy set up with tons of free board which works well in rough water. Great boat for run and gun boating. works every time may not be the fastest boat but fun to drive. The third boat in my collection is a 1/5 scale cracker box (Cracked-Up) runnin a modded sikk motor. Halls ass hard to keep in the water. Also have a brushless shovelnose hydro running a 9xl hacker motor on 30c lippo bat. hulls ass. I love running fast nostalgic boats. The kind I grew up watching race on the river in the central valley of CA. Ahh good times.
