That's all folks.. Great weekend, truly enjoyed meeting some great electric racers. After 20 years of running nitro and a few now running gas, I may have to jump over and run some electric boats. Thanks for the hospitality guys. Always great to hang out with Lenny. Lenny was a great mentor to me as a kid growing up in this hobby. I had a blast helping him call the races. It took me a round or so to figure out who all you guys were - but pretty easy to put names to faces when your boats run as great as they do! Hope to see you guys again soon.

Back at you, Bro ! Nice to meet you & THANKS for the awesome pics/vids Did a great job calling the heats - loud and clear - Do I hear NASCAR calling ?

Jay-Fantistic work. It really was a bonus having you there! Please come back next year. In fact, mark off June 19th-23rd on your calendar for the Nat's in L.A.! It would be great to have you there.

Just cracked the box a bit. Not exactly stock when it comes to the finish on the wood or stress points. They don't exactly like to hit things though.

BTW. How do you think the O.S. leg would work? I keep busting cables with the REK?

Howard,

I have been running the OS leg for just over 2 seasons now... I haven't broke a shaft yet, and you seen and raced against my VS1 a few times. Looks like you guys had fun.

Later,
Ball

Howard,

I've run O.S. on my heavy-ish 30" Herb Stewart with motors up to and including a Neu 1515 1Y (for SAWS) with no cable failures. Kris Flynn will make you nice cables designed to fit the O.S. propshaft on one end and the collett on the other - seems the dimensions differ a tiny bit. The really nice thing about the O.S. is that you can adjust the tilt angle without messing with the servo rod (or cable) lengths (but you probably know that). The O.S. also has superior propshaft bushing support with an oiling port to make lubing simple.

OK.. Let me know if you need anything.. I bet I have a cowl laying around here someplace...Let me know if you need one.

Looks like the others have you covered on the lower question.. to whitch I agree!
