RE: Spreckles Lake in Golden Gate Park

Cool, we all get there early so we can get as much run time as possible.  Look for both my boats to be there.

RE: proboat hydro

If you can get the engine just right during tuning, you don't need to change the engine.  Here is what I did to upgrade mine, and I am running high 30s to low 40's.
The changes I made to the Formula...

RE: Picco 90 build

What you need to do, is connect the two larger tanks (by a Y connection) to the smaller tank and then connect the smaller tank to the carb.  You may need to tighten the fly wheel to the flex shaft as...

RE: Who has O'donnell #89 Glo Plugs?

They are really a great online hobby shop.  I purchase from them all the time and receive my order way sooner than expected.

RE: picco .67 glow plug choices

Give www.amainhobbies.com a call.  They have been more than helpful in the past.  I'm sure they can set you up with the proper glow plug.  Sorry about that, thought your .67 was newer and had the...

RE: picco .67 glow plug choices

The plugs themselves are not cheap.  But better to run Picco plugs than destroy the engine.

Oops, I meant I use the Turbo Cold plugs.  Medium and Hot are for a different application.  Sorry for that mix up.

RE: picco .67 glow plug choices

Ryan,
Go with the OFNA for the Picco.  They are made specific for that engine (Actually made by Picco).  I use them in my .45R.  That engine is going to make your hydro scream by the way.

RE: 1/8 scale miller american

The only major dealer for nitro in North America is Hallam Marine.  He carries a Picco .45R and the .67 CMB engine.  He also carries the tuned racing pipes.  But prepared to spend about $500.  From...

RE: 1/8 scale miller american

Ryan,

Just a heads up though.  Electrics can be very costly since it sounds like you will need engine, esc, batteries and charger.  Plus what ever else I forgot.  Just take your time a little and...

RE: getting back in it

If you can't find a good used one, I do highly recommend the Picco and CMB.  The only dealer for the Picco is Hallam Marine Hobby in Canada.  I purchased a .45R from him.  Here is what I will be...

RE: proboat hydro

Actually Miss Hydro, it all depends on your location for the carb settings.  Personally, when I first got my boat, I have to turn it out to 3 3/4 turns to run it rich during break in.  Then I turned...

RE: proboat hydro

Have you made any upgrades to it yet?  You can increase the speed by 7-10mph with a metal prop, new turn fin and once broken in, you can remove some head shims and increase to 50% nitro.

RE: SF Bay Area, RC Boat Club

I tried sprekels lake already.  They have a 15mph speed limit and they are more of a model sailing club.  Thanks for the tip though.
