Killer deal.

Sweet. That's worth some shelf space.
Here's a pic of my scratch built electric tunnel.
Not nearly as scale as yours. But it will keep you on your toes. Runs right on the edge of blowover
24" 6s lipo (25 volt) 40,000 rpm. Estimated speed in high 40s

nice, is that an OS lower? I used to run 20 and 40 nitro tunnels.

It's like a miniature OS. Made by TFL they also make a full size version. Was buying them at hobbyking or offshore electrics. Had to do some modifications to keep the flex cable from breaking and losing my prop. I raced it against the local club guys. They run KB nitro I think 3.5 engines on 28" to 30" boats. I could walk away from them in the straights, but my boat didn't do as good in the rough stuff. I'm sure if someone had a OS with a spicey .21 they would of put a whoopin on me.
My dad has a couple boats and we made one for a friend. We have some heated battles around the buoys. I've had to do some body work because of it. Boats are made of hard foam with wood veneer, and a thin glass canopy.
