Thank you Tony! Our drivers are in amazing physical condition. Every time they go into a turn it's 170-180 mph and over 4G's! The stamina it takes is unreal...
Like you, I want to see paint on the Astroliner really bad. But life is life and I'm hanging drywall now for the next couple weeks. I'll get this old house shaped up soon and get back on the coach!
Thank you all for your encouragement, support and good wishes. This is a fantastic community to be a part of!

Nice looking place.

I see a shop, a lawn tool shed and the Mother-in-law apartment in the back yard. I also see a RC race boat in your future.

I'm pretty sure that I see a fire pit near the picnic table. Great place to lounge out on a slightly cool evening (er go no mosquitoes and a moderately bigger fire), cuddle up with your sig-other with beer/wine/cocktail (pick two) in hand and stare at the flames while enjoying the peaceful solitude of frogs burping and fish flopping for their evening meal.

Yes sir my friend, ya' dun good! :thumbsup:

Thanks KC... I think you're right on track! Right now I've got about 3" of ice on the pond. Another inch and the boys and I are going to have a friendly game of pond hockey! (Go Blackhawks!)
I've built several RC boats Junkboy... Probably doesn't come as a surprise! I built an electric BudLite tunnel hull that did about 45. Then a 4' replica of the Unlimited Smokin'Joe. It has a 30cc two cycle on 15% Nitro. It was big but did close to 60. The last one was ridiculous. It was a tricked out Tunnel Cat with a 90 nitro motor. It was doing around 85mph! Lots of fun!

Since we have a little bit of a pause in the action here, why not post up a couple of pics of the model boats? I sure wouldn't mind seeing some hot hobby stuff!

All my RC stuff is packed away for the move KC, but I'll see what I can do!

Here's a couple we built to play with at the shop! I also have a brushless electric Mustang that's topping out at over 70 now. Once I'm unpacked I'll try to get pix.
