RE: New build DONE
44 Is hauling for a swamp buggy with any motor. I have a swamp buggy and tried many combos on it from 46fx 55ax to 61fx with at least 10 different props and could never get it to do what I wanted. If speed is what you are looking for you should pick up a SI3 60 series kit. The plywood material is all baltic birch and laser cut compared to stamped out luan that needs endless sanding in the bsb kit and you can build a SI3 out in 8-10 hours. Ever since I got my first SI3 ( I have three ) the bsb is no more than a paper weight now. With a OS 61FX you can truly hit 50-55mph STOCK, and if you add a pipe and trick it out a bit the sky is the limit. I gain nothing from telling you about the SI kit I just figured if you want real speed that is the place to start.

Thanks for taking all of those sweet pics Mr. Marshrabbitt. As everyone can see, we had a total blast running. Oh and thanks for catching my flatty jumping that log into the tree for all to see, such talent you have [:D].

RE: rcca get together may 14 &15
Sounds like some sweet races are heating up. I wanna see how many boats we can run at the same time no matter what class they are at least once, that is always the best!

We didn't plan on cooking out this time around. I am just going out to run as much fuel as I can in the day. Whatever you want to bring I am sure will be much appreciated by all. There will be quite a few boats and people there. See ya there.

From what I hear orders are being taken for this kit now. You will have to ask Selph Inflicted about prices and shipping times.

New SI Kit Tapered flat bottom
This is the second version of this kit and it is ready for production. I have not measured any parts yet but this should be perfect for engines around .46. More info to follow on this but for now here is a few pictures of what is included. [IMG]http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n430/gatorich96/P1010592.jpg[/IMG] This is the full kit [IMG]http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n430/gatorich96/P1010594.jpg[/IMG] Closer shot of the engine stand with air rudders to match and side skins. [IMG]http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n430/gatorich96/P1010593.jpg[/IMG] And if having everything cut to perfect sizing is not enough, the bottom skin is laser etched to keep everything squared up right before you tack it in place. Sweet! Here is a link to some finished pictures of the first run on this kit http://rcairboats.net/Gallery/29TapperedFB Here's a few shots of putting it together, should be ready to go pretty soon.

RE: SI3 Stained
I like the stain choice. When you clear it a couple times it is really going to give it some depth. Looks great!

RE: Airboat Drag Race
I am in to if the rudders can run. Like Chris said most are in the 2" range or less even. A cross bar between the sponsons would be no problem if that is all that's needed.

Sorry for the late change. We scouted things out today and found a much more private spot that should be better for everyone. It is listed in the above post. Call me when you get close if you need any help getting in. Richard

RE: RCAA 2010 Annual Get-Together
There will be a recovery boat this time so no swimming unless you want too. The lake is shallow at the shoreline and where we will be running is probably no more than about five feet.
