[Body Guard]

That was In Shah Alam Malaysia. Not too far away from Kuala Lumpur city the capital of Malaysia. We were invited to have a race there so a great number of us from Sarawak, East Malaysia (on Borneo Island) traveled by air the best and fastest way, just to have a race there. Almost all of the racers are from my state. Race crazy lot we are.hahahah

Guys,
Like to share my latest tunnel boat with a Zen 26cc stock being tested at our usual race circuit.
This was meant for OB motors but as I only have inboard motors so had to go with that.
This hull just loves choppy water and didn't seem to mind the breeze at all. The standard servo for the steering was able to turn the craft at full throttle.
LOA 45.5 inches Beam 21 INCHES
Before getting an outboard, I might try it with a QD rear exhaust just to see how she handles. Hope she doesn't loose her user friendly attitude.
Regards to all tunnel lovers.
Latif.

Here are two links showing the test run of the most recent Body Guard F1 Powerboat RC scale. One was captured with a cell phone and the other with a digital cam both of which has no zooming, in the shaky hands of my daughters. Hopefully video cam comes back then picture quality can be improved.
Enjoy the clips. RGDS.:cheers::cheers::cheers:

BG that thing hauls the mail bro and turns on a dime!

[Body Guard]

Thanks for the compliment Sir. Turn was slowed down a little so they can capture it on cam. Done full throtle turn other times, she didn't show any sign of barrel rollin even in the rough waters. Time for production I think

Around how much does somthing like that costs in RTR form?

[Body Guard]

Hi There,
Here where I am at, it would cost around US$1,100. for RTR.
To save freight for buyers in your region, one hull is in the process of being fabricated in Mississipi,US. If you or anybody else is interested, you all can email me at bglatiff@yahoo.com. I'll give the contact person in the US.

[Body Guard]

Hi People,

Nothing much to share but just some pics of the same tunnel tested to the limit in usual water condition. Some wheelies trick is possible during a stretch run. Click on this link please.

[Body Guard]

Here are a couple of video clips showing the latest design ran just for the video recording. The stock motor was not performing as well as it should but that will be another issue.

Two of my latest scratch built for 2009.
First two pics shows one meant for OB. Tested with IB pending arrival of OB package.
The second set is the latest, purpose built from scratch for IB with optimum principal dimension. She may be fitted with IB/OB with steerable stern drive.

[venus79]

[Body Guard]

Venus 79,
Please get in touch with Stealth Assassin (Derrick) for the fabricated hull.
He is in Jacksonville Mississipi. You can pm or email him directly.
Cheers and Merry Xmas.
Latiff.

[Tom Foley]

Very Cool ! Keep pics and vids coming :cheers:

[fishn4cash]

Man that's just too cool

[Body Guard]

Thank you both for the compliments. Still sorting out the video upload. I hope its all cool if not cooler. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and prosperous and happy new year.
Rgds.

[fishn4cash]

My son is about to have a fit wanting one

[Body Guard]

Hi Fishncash,
You can get such a tunnel ready to run, directly from us which cost a lot with the delivery charges and all (no custom duty though). Would save you a bundle if you get our tunnel from Stealth Assassin (Derrick) who is producing our tunnel for OB in Mississipi. Get in touch with him directly, I'm sure he can meet your request.
BTW, how old is your son ?
Rgds.
Latiff

[Body Guard]

OK guys.
Here is a video of my 4th and last build for 2009.
Hope you all enjoy it.
Happy New Year.
