Well I got the rest of my stuff today. Two 2200 3 cell Blue lipo, Flysky 3ch RX/TX 2.4ghz and servo to go along with my 3900 motor and 90amp ESC.
Now I just need to put it all together.
I finally got my coupler drilled out on a lathe and put my boat together. Here ss the first video of it in the water. The camera used was my old dig camera but it
turned out ok. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgrtme1NFxc

I hope this beast of a coupler will hold up OK, otherwise I'll just enlarge the original one with a drill
and the foam spacer to hold the battery to the right countering the weight of the esc.

Your water inlet is blocking the jet outlet!
You barely need *ANY* pipe protruding into the nozzle - the force of the water jet will take care of the water feed.
Trust me, I know - I started with an inlet like in your pics, but have slowly filed it back so that it's just a little bit more than flush with the inside of the jet nozzle - the water feed works just as well, but the water jet thrust is *much* better.

Is there anyone around the Sunshine Coast that would be keen to hit a couple of creeks? Or anyone in the vicinity who'd be keen (I could always be convinced to drive to Brisbane)
Where is everyone finding the Air cleaner I see guys installing in the middle of the headers?
Losi New Header Set, Chrome: Slider LOSB8147
As said by duckdogs, the headers are from the losi slider. If you want to make an air cleaner, you could be a little creative with a milk cap or some kind of bottle cap.
The editing software here was Adobe Premier, but I don't have the setting right from the GoPro to the Software. The GoPro is right, but I'm doing something wrong when I set up the editing software - too many options for a novice like me!
Seehuusen, there's a guy in Brissy that I'll probably catch up with next week to go for a jetboat run. There's also a few people on the Sunny Coast with jetboatswho may be interested. I'll send you a message later. Do you have any good spots on the sunny coast for a run? I'm happy to drive where ever for a decent jet boat run!
One of these in now my desktop image....not bad for an iphone photo. Also one of my MiniMono.
Thanks,
