10-32 machine screws & nuts. The throttle man actually got his left shoulder dislocated in the 1st rollover. Scott has a good closeup of the drivers when they came back in.

Expresscraft actually makes some pretty good (& big) hulls at a reasonable price. I like both of mine but will probably like the Arapaho even better after putting the trin tabs and turn fins on it. I thought it did pretty good to be running without them.

Yeah, I had a Thunderbolt rigged by Expresscraft w/ a Toxic Al Mod Zen...sold it when I moved to the 'bright 'side

Mike's 1/10th vintage is FAST! Finally found the real problem with my P mono! Put her in the water and it ran for about 2 seconds. Pulled it out, One of the motor wires literally fell out of the motor. Burned off inside. Lucky I have a spare brand new NEU 1515/1Y. Should be able to get her goin for the nats with new trouble. My LSO is a lot faster with an old Castle Barracuda 80 in it rather than the AQ controller! 1/10th scale modern ran good but not as fast as I'd like. Oh well, it's raceable! Haha. One more test run probably on Tuesday and then pack up for early departure for the east coast on Wednesday. See you guys there! Don't forget your club t-shirts! We need to group up for a 'team' photo at the NATS!
