So I was jamming my throttle around and smashed into some rocks and broke the U-joint on the Graupner jet drive so I replaced with this one.

Hell yes it is!

Trying to get a scaler going after that boat number two is getting put together.

You should head down this way tomorrow, we can go rally then drive the boats.

Finally shot some photos of the boat today.

The river I run has a bunch of side water areas where there is zero flow perfect for launching it and getting it back with no rush.


I soaked my reciever today and it ran full speed out of control, so I got a little mad at it and threw it in the water with no top on.


If you guys want I can shoot some details and some of the inside.

I've got everything but a good jet drive.
I'll see what I can do with your stock parts to get it running. Next weekends scale event has a creek so if your coming to the scale event and have a boat bring it along and after the event maybe we can run them for a while.

Its about that time of the year to get the boats going again, looks like stocks on jet drives have finally been replenished.

And I happen to be looking around and found out Graupner has a new one out aluminum housing 7mm shaft and I think ball bearings...

Its 11" long but should be bullet proof.

Im going to try to have 2 or 3 going at a time this year.
