    What do you guys think? Too much going on? The fire extinguisher doesn't look quite as scale as I was hoping it would.

    I think overall it looks pretty decent but I still want to find room for the jerry can and I'm already worried that there is too much going on.

    Need some unbiased opinions. My girlfriend thinks this whole hobby is retarded, even though I caught her checking out the Honcho last night. :cool:

    Thanks dude! The chain is not as scale as it could be, it's #16 Jack Chain. I was wanting to find #18 but neither Lowe's nor Home Depot had it.

    The other nice thing about this chain is that it can actually be used to tow/recover. The #18 Jack Chain I've found does not have much of a load limit.

    :laugh:

    I didn't do the testing myself - just went by the labels. :D

    Until I get some Wraith axles, I won't be putting any more stress on this thing than I have to with the 2.2s on it.

    Right, I give you 12 hours and you are coming back saying, "shit I spun my gears in my axles, I swear I wasn't running it hard. guess I need wraith axles."

    Used another mr200 I had in another boat to test the revolt out. It did good for the first time out, no adjustments were made from out of the box, gonna mess with it, try to get to get riding ontop of the water more and get some more speed.

    Was by myself but there was a guy fishing who was cool and shot a video for me. Nothing special..

    Damn you! First Brian says I need a helicopter, so that's on the list and now you post that video and I just caught myself looking them up on A Main.

    Needless to say, that's pretty damn impressive for being straight out of the box.
