I bought a Huge Tug Boat

[canucksrc]

Here are the specs

The Tug is a Robbe Odin tug. ABS hull is 47"L and 13.5"W overall height is approx.30" Equiped with 18 working lights, a fire monitor that swivels up and down, left and right from the radio with all the plumbing to make it shoot water:twisted: The tow hook also is released from the radio. the motor is a BIG Robbe 1000 motor that should pull a small child"thumbsup"

Can't wait to get this thing in the pond,

I can't wait to get this ting:) I've been looking for something like this for some time. I'll be running it with my DX7. Lights will be wired up to a micro switch, water pump,winch,anchor.

This is my first boat and should be a ton of fun.

Perry,

Dude...you need to get an aircraft carrier so we can land the planes on it. :lol:

[canucksrc]

Hey Jia,
Styker lands way fast for the carrier thing:lol: You have me hooked on this flying thing now:flipoff: Dummy box gas flying on Sunday"thumbsup" Had to send the DX7 back to reset that throtle spring.

Hey Scattman, that boat must fly accross the water. Did you crash the thing?

I landed my Stryker on the ramp to the trailer. "thumbsup"

Reset throttle spring on the 7?

You using it for ground or what?

I tossed the Stryker up in front of the house the other day...a couple of neighbors down the street were watching.

I made the first pass by them at about 70ft and 1/2 throttle.

The 2nd pass was under the street lights (less than 20ft off the deck) and at full throttle out of a dive. Easily 120+.

"That's it! I'm gettin' one of those!"

He came down, asked questions, then went to the LHS and picked up a Stryker. :lol:

We're going to terrorize the folks around us. :lol:


weeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! !!!!!!

On a regular basis."thumbsup" Moves along damn good. It's an Aeromarine Challenger(I think). She takes a beating. Got it from a guy who raced it but it wasn't his best handling. The motor has alot of work done to it but I couldn't tell you what. Pretty sure it's stroked though. Will be bringing it to the next Augusta gtg if there is another. And if everyone thinks I will be able.(she's kinda loud):lol:

[JasonInAugusta]

Bring it!

[Scattman]

SWEET I will get back on it.

[JasonInAugusta]

I've ran my Shockwave 36 (.32 nitro) out there. Had a blast with it.

I'd like to get another gas boat, shouldn't have sold my old one.


BTW, Perry, check this (http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10114) out.

Ya JIA,
I had the DX7 Converted at the factory with a spring on the throtle side:roll:

I'm just dumb sometimes!

That war ship has a ton of detail and looks real nice in the water.

I'll get a vid of the Tug when she arrives,

You my friend are one crazy MF:twisted:

Give me a couple more months of flying and I'll fire up this little guy http://theworldmodels.com/para/products/airplanedetails.php?airplaneid=69

The local hobby shop sells them built with your Electrics for $90 We dog fight them at the air strip:twisted: I'm running an OS.46 in her.

Thanks again for getting me hooked on flying,
