In this case it might even be "pier" pressure!

Man, you guys are killing me. I can't do one of them and the Miss Geico from ProBoat. I dont think the jet boat will do well on big open water so I will have to pass. Makes it easier to take Pics.

Mad Dog RC contacted me on here and asked if they could post a couple of my photos in their customer rigs section. Pretty cool I thought! I would have chosen different photos but hey it's still kinda cool! Check out page 3. Customer Rigs

Actually, I'm hoping to keep costs down on this thing. If the hobbyking is a little slower and not to your liking, let me get dibs on that thing. I'll make up for it with bass boat paint and being a good captain.

Yeah, I should make some light weight titanium ones to free up some horsepower.

Chris, I'll put a 5mm hole in yours for that 2400kv 550 can. Come on, grow a pair!

rick i posted links to what i put in mine a few pages back. and if you made a coupler and motor mount i would throw a 550 can in one of these quicker than hell!!!

i have an old mamba max 5700kv setup that i was planning on throwing in the drift car, but wow that would rock on one of these.

Sure... can do that.

Yeah the vxl motor does have a liquid cooling jacket around it. I'll get some pics of it tonight.
