RTR Hydro class rules.
There is some discussion on another boat forum site about establishing rlues for a RTR class imvolving mostly the Vegas and ProBoat hydro's. Seeing how we have more owners of these boats in here than they have, you input would be appreciated.
since this will be considered a low-cost way of racing and a way for people to get into racing cheaply, there would be limited mods to the boats. So far the consensus is to keep the engines and exhaust bone stock, use either the pull-starter or a hand-held electric starter but if used, the recoil can not be removed if the boat is equipped with one. Any prop can be used, a metal one preferred for safety reasons. Replacement of the turn fin is OK. Any radio system or servos as this would give you the option of using a better radio plus the choice of more frequencies. Where the sticking point is right now is the option of removing the rear wing or keeping it on.
Any of your input would help clubs to have a basis to use for in case they decide to host a RTR hydro class.
As other RTR boats start coming out, we can discuss them but right now let's keep it pointed this way.
I did include some mod's that you owners of these boats have done on the other site, things such as opening up the turbine exhaust tube to let hot air escape but what the intent is to keep the boat as true to how it came out of the box as reasonably possible with the exceptions for safety.
If you wanted to put a hot .18 or .21 in them and do serious mods then you'd have to run with the Sport 20's.
OK, how about some input?
