Did they have a B tunnel class?? That would be a "mod" 20 tunnel class.

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Tower's has the red Topspeed 3's on sale for $99.97.

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Thanks for the heads up!! I might order one....!

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

For a TS3 thats a heck of a deal, Considering they want 75 bucks for just the replacement cowl!
VS1 is at 119.97, But fair warning there are two transom failures that I know of so,
Check them seams if ya order one..........
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Cool shot of Mike Z's TS3,
Neat what cha do with a little airbrush work!
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Hi Gene, I didn't order the TS3. Great price, but I'm going to focus on one boat for now (the VS1 I'm building.)

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Hi Danny,
Yea me too, Tower has 25 to 50 off sales often enough,
Good deal if someone was looking for one.
Gene




And a couple shots needed to get off the SD card........
Work'n on tha nose drop

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Hey Ron,

Gas only or do they have nitro too?


Hey Danny,

Any new pics to share?

Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Hi guys,

A work-related tradeshow weeklong trip, then a fun surf trip to Mexico and a logo-design special I've been running in my personal business, have made my "catch-up-to-do-list" as big as Texas. So the sanded and sealed boat has been on the shelf and the parts in a box.

I'm finally starting to see some things done. I'm hoping to be back to normal by next week and continue working on the boat. I'll have an update soon.

Oh by the way, I'm writing an RC Boats article for my boating site, FloatWays.com - It be nice if some of you give it a once over before I publish it. Any volunteers?

-Danny

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Danny PM JD, Either here or at IW,
Im sure he would give it a look see and offer comments.
I've read Jerry's articles in Radio Control Boat Modeler for years.
