RE: Gas Boats VideosB

Yea I saw those boats last night. They do look cool. I guess you get a different cowling with the motor details built in for the 60's look. I haven't found one yet but I thought I'd seen a pic of a...

Gas Boat Videos

Took a shot at making some r/c gas boat videos last weekend. They turned out decent. Might just have to buy a thunderboat myself. I loved the Miss Bardahl boat that won 3 years in a row in the 60's....

RE: rc mud drags site i made

RE: Protecting paint from inside???

Back it with Krylon Plastikote. Then use vinyl for problem areas. Plastikote won't stick to unpainted lexan but it works great once the body is painted. Creates a plastic lining on the inside. Fuel...

RE: Few Drag Racing Videos

If you are going to get up close you need to use the manual focus. Your slow motion filter isn't up to slowing down the video as much as you are trying to do. It gets choppy when you have exceeded...

RE: Dash for Cash 100+ mph run Video

Not sure I think its 150 ft. Seems awful short sometimes. I've broken up a few cars there. The old track at the K-Mart had pretty much unlimited run off. You just let off the throttle and let it...
