Different boats for different places....

[olwarbirds]

Getting off threads true topic here, but having worked in the LHS business on and off for years. To Me there needs to be a PB AQ or whoever. "Decent" RTR boat in the MG, UL-1, Impulse size class without all the inherent total lack of quality that they have been offering. These products for the price they charge should not need upgrades just to get them running right. "RTR" needs to be just that. We need to be able to encourage newbs to buy these products to get the same FE addiction we have with no guilt issues. Most Newbs just want to run a boat to start with and not build one.... DJ

Now look at the bottom left of the page... Under New Products... Maybe? Not sure...?

Yeah, I have a feeling that they have not updated their site for a while, they don't list their Vortex 34" Hydro.
It's a funny thing, I never missed the Revolt and I couldn't care less if Proboat discontinues with their Impulse or not. I am not being a Smart A** about it, just my personal take on this.
I like to see AC and PB come up with some serious Cats and Hydros or tunnels for that matter. I mean Cats in the category like the TFL Zonda sized or Cheetah sized cats, that you can actually turn the ship without capsizing! Nothing wrong with the MG, but it's been a long time and the inherent wah-wah-wah is tiresome.
AC had a good tunnel in their VS1 line, too bad the wood is not sealed correctly and if you are unlucky, the result is a moldy hull and completely distorted hull after water gets inside the wood hull. Their TS3 is FG so that wasn't an issue but the hull is more difficult to drive than the VS1. PB had stopped making the Stilleto......
Different horizon for different folks......
I think Mr. Smock is right, it is , at least that is what I am doing for the last 5 min.

Dunno if you're trying to hint at something particular, but horizon sells proboat.... Hmmmm

Hang tight on the mono if you can. There is a good one on the horizon.

It's all at the end of the day. Enjoy the hobby and the time with your son. If you ever get his boat finished.

Ok ok...I'll finish it this weekend! I get sidetracked easily! Lol. I gotta finish this one guys boat this weekend tho...he wants to run it before it gets too cold.

Well, once I get situated I kind of want a Aero-Marine 43" Challenger or a 48" Challenger Pro... The RiverCat you built me was great, but just not for where I live... "Ferrari on a rocky road".. I'm near a spot that has rough waters (Wake Zone Violators...lol).... But yes, Different boats for different things. I believe you told me that...lol

Now The Smock is going to make me wait to see what mono comes out next...

Nah, it wasn't you I was referring to you. He knows who I'm talking about. I guess Some people just don't like what I'm doing and putting out there for everyone to see. I even had some clown pm me yesterday and tell me that I put a gps in my car and go ride around with it and then put it in my boat and take a pic of it. If that were the case, I would have broke 100mph a long time ago. Lmfao!

Are you in my head? Lol.....I've been looking around for a mono. I was actually looking at getting a revolt or a carbon pursuit. Not saying I'll hit 90, but I just want to go fast. I have to finish what I started with my rivercat. Having motor issues set me back a couple weeks. My custom rotor was made Friday and should be on the way to me. This weekend I'll see where I'm at, hoping for a little higher than I was. I'm not counting on it, but I've got my fingers crossed. Then once I do hit my goal, I have some other boats to tinker with (after my builds get done for my customers)

The delta force monos are a good choice. Probably more suitable than a revolt would be for you.

Don't worry too much about the naysayers Trav. I'm inspired, the saw record for open electric tunnel in NZ is only around the 70mph mark. You make that look easy to beat! Some more time and money and......woohoo!

[kfxguy]

No nerve struck here, I know what you mean. I haven't even broken 80 and 70 is getting boring LOL. I'm sure it would be a lot different if I actually had people to run with, but I make the most of what I have with what I am willing to put into it, and for me there is also a certain value to the alone time and solitude I get when I go run boats by myself. I am also heavily invested in off road RC racing, so boats play a different role to supplement my amusement.

It's enjoyable to me, yes. My life, no. Do I live, eat, sleep rc boats? No, I dont. I could see if that's all your into, then yea. But to the degree I'm into it, it's not that important for me to travel that far to run my boat.

I know it's more to it than that, the meeting people, hanging out and having a good time is part of it too. ........ but at this point in my life I don't have to time to do it. I have three young kids and a wife, and we live very busy lives and work full time jobs, and just don't have the time to commit to it. I really wish I could come down there and hang out with you guys.....the ones that seem to have a little "issue" with me and what I'm doing would change their perception of me......

Didn't do much of anything RC this summer, life got in the way. But believe it or not the most fun the bunch I run with have is when we get 5 or 6 box stock SV 27s on the water. We all have much faster and more interesting boats to run but the SV's always have us laughing. We don't even really race them, it's catch the guy in front of you, when the timer goes off bring them in.....Never really been one for straight line speed in anything, I'm into turning laps against people, be it in a Kart or turning laps at Mosport for either bike or car open track days etc.
That's what is great about RC in general, something for everybody to play at!
Blows me away some of the speeds you guys are getting, I do love the videos people post of the speed runs.
50-70 mph around the markers with a bunch of other boats has a very different pucker factor!

[kfxguy]

And then work my way up over time to this....gets boring at the above speed with the same boat....
