    I will post them when I put it together all the way. My dad should do a side busniess and paint them lol. Pics will be soon though! I haven't even seen it in person yet, my dad lives a hour and a half away, I left it there for him to paint, so this weekend I'll get to let her rip, I can't wait!

      Is this the depron and wood rigger that Red designed? If so I have his Miss Hanger 1 hydro-plane that I will be running on the water this summer. I read about this boat(I think) on RCG and thought it was cool. Red's website is down now so where did you get it??

        Yes it is designed by Red I think, I got it from renegaderiggers.com I didn't know that there were other boats that they designed.

          I think the design was by Red and Steve (Elias)
          Steve is a very nice guy, always eagared to help,
          never spoke to Red but I heard his business style is a bit...
          unorthodox.

            where can I get the aluminum x632 for speed runs? I didn't see it on OSE, just a regular x632.

                The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

                      Very nice boat, that thing looks as if you have it dial in just right.

                        Thanks, it started to hop a little after that video, I think maybe the water was a little choppy, I plan to run it tomorrow, well see how it does, can't wait to try a detounged x632 on it for some serious speed runs!

                          keep an eye on your temps, just keep the runs short while you are testing bigger props. I think I ran the plastic Y531 on my hydromite.

                              Well, blew up my esc, and my batt is no good anymore. It started out really flat water, it was flying, it was the best run so far, then I brought it in after a few laps, there was some water in it, well I knew I should run it again but I couldn't help it, I let it cool down, shook the water out, it didn't go 5 feet till it quit, well opend it up, smoke from the esc, and I took the battery out, and noticed that it was getting hotter, so I quickly cut off the wrap and found a melted wire, I seperated them so nothing bad would happen. Luckly I have another cc25 esc, but I don't have a battery. I had greased the shaft really well last night, I think it still came in through the shaft, so I am going to do the fuel tube trick on it, send out my fried esc to be fixed and but another battery, I'm not sure I want to risk fixing the thunderpower one. Too bad my wife didn't get some action shots with the camera I brought.

                              But on a good note it was running its best so far, a little hopping about 3/4 throttle and then at full throttle it was a rocket with no hopping.
                              I have learned the lesson of giving in to the FE addiction when I know I shouldn't lol!

                                Any thoughts on batteries that will be equal to the thunderpower 1320? I saw this one, it has a higher discharge rate then the thunder power and is cheaper.
