What happened to Nitro RC boats?

I had an AquaCraft Supervee 27 Nitro years ago and sold it. Since we've moved and now own some property on a small lake and would be perfect to finally have an RC boat I can run from my back yard!...

Another break in thread - can you break in without a temp gun

I just got a kyosho MP9 tki3 readyset and I'm ready to break it in. I've read the manual but it's not very specific. It states to run two tanks through it and to use the silver venturi that's...

RE: Flex cable question

Thanks for the advice and I didn't run the liner.

I actually had the chance to run it today with the new cable and it did great for not being run in quite some time! It took a few pulls to get it...

RE: Tuned pipe for supervee 27 nitro

I know that the higher oil content is very important and thats why I've used heli fuel in the past but even thats hard to find.

RE: Tuned pipe for supervee 27 nitro

I can't find 25% boat fuel only 50% or 30% and the 30% is heli fuel but next time I'll order some boat fuel online.

RE: Need opinion on used rc boat

Thanks for the reply! The scorpion would be nice but I know shipping will be a $100-$200 so it would be more than what its listed as.

The boat on craigslist may be a good start and I'll at least...

If I come across a four blade prop I'll definitely try it out.

RE: Need help/advice

I actually like the three blade prop on it. I run the Grimracer 40X52/3 and I like it a lot so far. It seems to be really close to the stock prop but it has its advantages as well since its a metal...

RE: Need help/advice

I'll try bending down the trim tabs a tad and adjust the prop angle some.

RE: Need help/advice

Thats not a bad idea. I guess the screws that come stock with the boat just aren't completely designed for all the heat cycles and vibration.
