Hi Everyone, I've gone back and snipped a post I wrote back in early December of last year. I have a feeling that people are loosing sight of the big picture and the arguments have become totally out of control. Many of the fastest guys in the country won't post anymore because their tired of the BS. Can't blame them, they've been running and building boats to the proposed guidelines and understand the practical limits of running parallel lipos in boats. There are in the neighborhood of 60...

Hi Everyone, First off, to all of you that have sent e-mails and called the shop a big THANK YOU! I really appreciate the overwhelming support of my writings and y'all keep me going. You know, the Internet is a wonderful thing. Used properly it's a valuable tool for research and "hooking up" with the rest of the world. But alas it's not without it's fair share of mental midgets. Yep, I'm talking about the keyboard warriors. You know the types, they sit behind their keyboards and type... Read Full Story

Hi Everyone, I gotta say I've read some real piss poor info when it comes to using lipo cells in boats. Having used lipos in boats over the last three years I've seen them go from 12C to 30C discharge rates and capacity rise to a point where things are getting very interesting now. One of my big problems with the info out there is much of it is coming from theory and paper. The latest rounds Read Full Story

Wikizines are interactive magazines that anyone can create or edit - and this one is called "Fast Electric RC Boats". Here you can find fresh voices and respond in real time. Some members write articles about recent news and trends related to the wikizine's topic, others recount relevant personal stories or share their favorite pictures and video clips. Got an interesting idea or story to share with other members of this wikizine? Well, then put on your journalist's cap and add your own... Read Full Story

Hi All, Well I must admit that if I need a dose of twisted humor I visit a FE boat site that has quite the cast of characters. For the sake of this post and to "protect the innocent" I'll refer to it as Rump Rammer Racing. There was a time, and not to long ago, that this was a great site for sharing info and learning. Alas, times and people change and the one popular site is now a place where Read Full Story

Hi Everyone, Ya, I know, I need to do this more often. I've got a bunch of things going on right now and I'll try and get up to speed and let everyone know whats coming. I attended another time trial in Huntsville, AL and had some sucsess at setting a couple more records. My good friend and team mate Kelly came down from Ohio to take his first crack at some records, lucky SOB got a couple too. Read Full Story

Hi All, Well, I just got back from the IMPBA Time Trials in Valdosta, GA. Time trials are events that test your metal, you try and set records for fast straight line and oval racing speeds. Simply put it's you against the clock and you either put up or shut up. Did I say that, "put up or shut up"? Yes, I did, and you know what, some guys just don't understand that -- and after an event the " Read Full Story

Hi Folks, First off, to the thousands of loyal readers of my blog (lol) I apologize. I have been lax in posting and your calls for updates will be answered. I hope all of you had a fantastic Holiday season be it late in coming. There's been something that's bothered me for a very long time. It's a "us vs them" type of thing. Across the globe racing and running fast electric boats has been a Read Full Story

Hi All, It never ceases to amaze me that people will believe whatever they read. Of course I'm talking about the "unlimited" power lipo cells will bring. I love all the keyboard physics professors out there that tell us all they "know" about what "could" happen in FE boat racing. Ya right, and pigs will fly out of my ass too. If these types of people had a tenth of the brains they think they Read Full Story

Hi All, Yep, a 3200.00 (dollar) custom built 68 MPH race boat reduced to junk in the matter of 15 minutes! You know, I was with my customer when he raced/wrecked this boat and no mater what I told him he was going to do it "his" way. Well, his way was the wrong way and the results are in the pictures! I've got all kinds of customers, most pay attention and never have problems. The ones that Read Full Story
