might get the gas bug :P

Cool, thanks guys! This is the biggest, baddest RC anything I've ever owned and I'm so excited about putting it in the water, I can't sleep!

I feel like a little kid.

Gas boats are great,our stuff is nearly all gas powered,run it 16:1 though.
Any pics of the insides? please.

Some photos inside the hull...

Might take it out and see if I can get a GPS reading on it here in a few. Dodging heavy rain and thunder showers today though...

How long is the pipe on that sucker?

If you do plan to keep it gas and have a bit of fun, swap that tank out for a 1L IV bag, you don't need to vent the bag and it saves fumes and water getting in the tank if you flip.

Long, with a big expansion chamber, has dual outlets too!

Tell me more about the IV bag? Sounds like a plan, but I'd like to see how it's done before digging in to it.

I'm still working on the mixture for open throttle, but she get's up and goes! Hit 43MPH in a light chop, still low on the rpm's. Plenty fast for messing around in the channel.

These big guys sure don't handle like the little 34" cats!

IV Bag is uber simple.

By length I meant from the exhaust port to the convergent cone on the pipe. Glad you had a good first run, having a long and narrow tunnel the fighter does really well in the chop

Sorry It's a 6" S pipe into a 12" expansion pipe.

I asked my other half to bring home an IV bag from the hospital. Perhaps I'll have one in the morning. =)

hehe , I meant the length like this :



measured to the arrow

The IV bag, make sure you give it a good wash out with petrol a few times to get the salt out of it if its from a saline bag.

Yeah, salt in the intake = bad.

Exhaust as shown = 13"

You mean after 4 years its done???????????? I waited FOREVER.. well, 6-8 months, and finally said screw it and ordered the HPR CT04.. and that was back in 2006! Best purchase I ever made though......


Ben, put that GPS in a zip lock... your gunna be ripped when you roll her and she fills w/ the fluid and your GPS gets salted.

Yeah, wow, the gassers don't seal! That would suck. Zip lock is cheap enough!
