Nice vid.

You need to hold it open in the turns, that's where all the fun & excitement is, cornering at speed.

Stealth hull made by Riptide model boats here in the UK
http://www.riptidemodelboats.zoomshare.com/3.shtml

the hatchs that come with the boat are pretty niff so Martno1 fan made us a few new ones from a mold i gave him.
The boat handles much better with these new design hatches.

Power is an Alro modded twin zen running a 3014 2 blade prop.Only done maybe 1.1/2 gallons and still running rich.
