My buddy Fritz wanted me to come see his new boat in action again. A few of you regulars might remember me posting a few months ago where he just build one for around 3 grand.

This one is up there also.

If you like scale boats this is it. It dang sure ain't fast, even to have twin 23cc nitro's in there.

TOLD YOU !

Twin MHZ scale like drives.

Ignore the carbon props. She don't reach that high of speeds so its not that big of a deal. Besides, we tested it with two other sets of bc props and didn't do any better.

Btw, engines are broken in so it was ready for set up.

Don't be fooled. The drives are bigger than they seem.

My buddy Dieter.

This guy knows his stuff. He's always willing to pass along his knowledge and go the extra mile to help.

Not going to post any of it running, but it did run flat. A little too flat. Needs some setup with trim and props, but it sure did sound good.

Heres one of Fritz's 3k$ boat from a few months back.

Twin, twin cylinder nitro's putting out almost 20 hp each.
