RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

I've cut expenses (building any new boats) - I don't race (cause there's no racing around here)… But I'm happily enjoying my VS1 / OS21 at least once a month. For me it really is a hobby ;)

RE: RC Boat Fatalities - News stories. PLEASE BE SAFE (updated 2-8-2011

^^^ Oh wow. That's one heck of a sad story. At least the guy's alive. Hope he recovers quickly. As I've mentioned before, I grew up in Puerto Rico... An island, so I've heard my fair share of jet ski...

RE: Zippkit .21 Outboard Rigger!!

By the way... I'm sure the ZippKits JAE's are much better, as they are more modern and developed, but are those old Prather OB outrigger shapes any good in comparison? Ron, I assume you would know.

RE: Zippkit .21 Outboard Rigger!!

^^^ Wow. I've been learning as much as I can about RC boats ever since I got back into the hobby last summer after a 19 year hiatus... I'm still baffled when I run into a new company I didn't know...

I think the problem in the first post is that you were using the shortened youtube video URL. That doesn't work. And for the second one, it was a full embed code. Seems to not work either. If you use...

RE: Zippkit .21 Outboard Rigger!!

Makes total sense. Since most of the boat rides on the sponsons forward, it shouldn't be too finicky with engine angles at the back - unlike tunnels for example that ride at the back. You've got me...

RE: Zippkit .21 Outboard Rigger!!

Hi guys, I'm following the thread for this boat on Intlwaters. - I have a question... The boat should be able to run just as fast as the standard inboard .21 rigger right? Just a matter of being...

Yeah, I'm going to run by Frys and see if I can find that stuff. I'm sure they must have it. I find that rosin core doesn't mix well with the brass and/or stainless steel these things are plated...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

Hi Gene,

Hmmm, I'll give that a try.

I had the idea of soldering, then crimping the sleeve where the sable is soldered into. My guess is it should make the whole thing stronger, but I might...

Hey guys,

Is there a trick to soldering the pull-pull cables into the threaded soldering couplers ?

RE: tunnel hull question

My vote is for the VS1 over the TS3. If you take the time to seal it right, you won't have rotting issues. Mine is perfectly sealed.

Of course, a Lynx would be much better.

Wow, 145MPH on that .45! So, how fast will an outrigger with a .12 NovaRossi go?

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

So I finished my FloatWays VS1 this last weekend and ran it for the very first time on Sunday! I was impressed. I took my time to build the thing and it's obvious it paid off. The boat ran perfectly...

RE: RC Boats Article on FloatWays - Full-Size Boating Site

Hi Ron,

Absolutely!

Hopefully, every little bit counts. The nice thing about this article is it's future. It's doing well right now, but over time it'll do better and will inform many...

RC Boats Article on FloatWays - Full-Size Boating Site

I had briefly mentioned the creation of this article in the 21 Tunnel Talk thread in the Nitro forum. However, I figured it needed a thread of it's own.

Back in September I started writing a...

Oh my gosh! I just ran into this thread. I'm from Puerto Rico, and I hadn't heard about the Guajataca river incident until now. That's crazy. Poor kid.

Well, I need to send in EPS files, cause it's all custom graphics. But... I found a guy locally that'll do them all for $40! So I'm going for that.
