RE: Help me identify this?

I'd say it's low. I don't thing it'll raise high enough for the prop to be just below the surface. I'd raise it maybe 1/4" and run it from there.

RE: nitro fuel question

Hmmm... maybe I'll pick up a few gallons of Omega and a gallon or two of promix. If I decide I like promix, I could always sell the omega for the same if not more than the $14 I'll be paying for it...

RE: The unofficial Home of all that is Nitro Vee...

Well, like I've said in other threads, I usually like to tinker with these rather than run them. I'm just wondering how far I can get this boat in terms of its potential. My goal: to meet or exceed...

RE: Building a 7'6" Crackerbox

The engine looks to be in pretty good shape. And the best part of all: It says made in Japan! And is that an electric start? It looks like an electric start gear on the front, left of the engine...

RE: nitro fuel question

Omega. The finest in my opinion. Feel free to object. :D

RE: flywheel

Well, a lighter one will give you better acceleration and hole shot. But that's only good if you're on a tiny pond, or if you're running tighter circuits where throttling is necessary. If it's...

I'm still checking to see if that review's been posted yet. I wonder if they comb though it before they'll allow anything to be posted. :) Ahh the corruption within big business chains.

RE: nitro fuel question

My lhs here in toronto still sells 20% nitro for $14 a gallon. PLUS if you pay in cash, he skimps on the tax. Just don't tell the govmt that :) I think he mentioned he's raising them once existing...

RE: nitro fuel question

Seems just about every kind of fuel is getting more expensive now-a-days. I swear there's a conspiracy! But one thing remains true... my 20% runs reliably and I bet I can get 2 gallons of mine for a...
