Yes I'm about 15 minutes from kilvert . I'll be down there this year for sure been talking to josh for a wile seems like a good guy I would like to meet in person . I will be running a few reeds and some PP motors one is my full mod I did . Back in the day when the Reed bottom ends were being sold by Trevor Doug was using some low exhaust port numbers and still one a few races , Chris bartolone set a record also . Now with the more advanced porting I'm hoping mine rip . One is a 5mm long rod 30.5 2mm stroke , other is a 28.8mm tiger king crank in it that measured the same squish bs the rcmk crank that came out so the tiger crank I have is more like a 1mm I used same piston also . Other Trevor simpson is building for me it will be a 29.5 . I picked up a cc racing 29.5 , two 30 plus motors also and built a few . I have cats to monos , a warpath pro , and a few large scale 72/56 inch . All fun fun!!! On top of racing real boats rc boats are for sure addictive!!! Building them is even better I learned a lot on my own and from a few guys I have met . Very cool
