Incredibly light and 80's powerboats usually don't end up in the same sentence! What hull material is she made out of? I'm guessing not kevlar like other 80's go-fasts. I can admit as well I wouldn't...

I'm in the Califronia bay area as well and they are very fast with shipping. I received parts within two days every time, even if I choose ground shipping.

Hi F-R Racing,

Awesome boat you got there. Looks like maybe a 24' Carrera from the late 70's early 80's? What have you got in her for power? Seems like your running in the 70's so I would guess...

Well looks like we have almost the same mindset when it comes to cleaning!

I always regardless of salt or freshwater running re-lube my flex cables and drive line parts so I guess that is about...

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for the very helpful replies. I wont ever honk at bikers anymore, thanks to you guys! :lol:

I never realized I could have been mean by honking, but now I know better.

Hi Orca,

How do you flush your boats? For me it's not a big deal, at the most 15 minutes per boat.

F.e. boats I run a hose to the cooling lines and let it rinse through for 2 or so minutes per...

Hi everyone,

Now that it's summer and nice weather, I have started driving for pleasure a lot more. It seems like there are a lot more Bikers out too, and I think most of the ones that I have...

Maybe a really small pair of angled needle nosed pliers could do the trick?

If the bushings aren't moving themselves or don't look too worn out, just put a good amount of marine grease on them...

What part do you need to get to that makes you want to take the stuffing tube out?

Whatever it may be, I think you will have a very tough time and probably have to use brute force to get the...

Ooops Sorry! :$#!!:

I don't see anything wrong with what carcode has done besides take the turn fins off....

Sure, the second rudder will add more drag and result in maybe 1-2 mph less speed, but considering the...

Well for me the better question is what I do when I'm bored and too lazy to do something significant!:lol:

I will either cure my o.c.d. by cleaning my garage, which includes cleaning and...

Performance wise the 5 inch offset would be better, but I bet that could also make it look pretty weird.

Yeah I think that is the best way to go. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Ok. Well if you already have the Villain I would say go for it. If you don't already have the Villain, I would put those babies in a hull in the 35-45 inch range if you want to have an all around...

Hi there and welcome to the forum. I hope I can help you out a little bit.

We will start with your water cooling question:

If you plan to run on anything above 4s, i would go as far to say as...

Well if it's a slider style button, it probably isn't for reversing the throttle input. Usually input reversing buttons are switches, left side normal, right side reversed or something along those...

It is definitely possible and I think they go in the boat with little to no modifications. I am not sure if the water cooling kit works. It probably does.

The problem with a setup like this...

Does it cavitate a lot? Just remember though, a bigger prop is more stress on the drive-line parts.

Yeah it's definitely not going to be something to do with the drive-line.....

Traxxas tech support number is 1-888-traxxas

I couldn't understand clearly from your post, does the boat only leak when the engine is on? Or does it leak when the engine is off too? I have my nitro Vee somewhere in the basement, I will try to...

That's great! It reminds me of what my dog did when he saw me run my Rc boat for the first time.... It was bad. I was at anchor in a real boat, maybe 3 miles or so offshore, and Bruce (my new dog)...

Well if you go by the 1/10 scale rule, then the Spartan is a 33ft boat. I do think the slash is a little bit big, but not by much. Check out this picture for some reference:
...

I would check to see if your EGR valve is faulty. The EGR valave has always been the culprit for me. Itis probably stuck or sticking.

If you get a warning light going on and off when driving at a...

@yoloer Sean got you on that one haha!
