My camera man had some problems keeping me in his view finder as you will see but now you can really get an idea of how well this little guy runs.

MUCH better video, its super fast and looked controlable. Did you burn up my ESC you borrowed?

[peells]

No meltdowns everything is fine just have a little water intrusion comming up the prop shafts at least that is the only place I can find where water can even get in at i doubled the tape in the front of the hatch and when it flipped some of the tape on the front lifted but didn't break the seal so I just brought it in to dry things out a bit. After exploding an esc on one of my other boats I did not wan to take a chance of that happening.

[Rumdog]

wow! that thing handles great! good job on that lil cat man! LOL, don't go so fast, I can't keep up!

"Don't go too fast, I can't keep up with you!" Best quote on the video.

Nice boat.

Guys that is pretty funny, but what else do you expect from a 9 year old

Man I wish I was there so we can race our cats around the pond, and get some good vid with my HD camera.

I need to do some boats, I have been working on my RC cars, just installed a sintered rotor in my ZX-5 FS and what a differece. I had a bonded rotor before.

Ok Here is an up date on the happenings of the LYNX.... I had to send my props off to my son so he could finish his build (I had borrowed them to get the boat up and running!~!!) so with that being said I have re order two new props and hav sharpened, polished and balanced them so now I have put them on my boat with Two fantastic couplers Made by the Famous Jeff Wholt they are great and I love them, the size is just right!!! so now after giving credit where it is due, I have moved my batteries back slightly and wow what a difference!!! the one motor on the left was getting a bit sloppy so I replaced it with a spare that I had of the same type, and that's what Im talking about!! so check out this new video I just made today a nice long run (I could have kept on running but I wanted to check for water and heat (no water cooling) everything was well within the safe zone for temprature YES so here is the video

Cool, nice boat toss in the water lol. I'd let ya borrow our nice new HD sony camcorder if I wasn't like 3000 miles away. Looks pretty fast, waiting for my battery to come in, and trying to find a place to run the boat thats close and that we can bring our dogs, no luck yet.
