    Nice, how big is that thing?

    the house we just got is right next to a lake, and part of the perks of the neighborhood is that we get access to the private beach on it. gonna be the perfect place for the boats.

    Roger that, not an easy task, most important is the kv rating of the motor

    This is my latest build. It's a boat, it's a plane, it's the SlowBoat!! Mine should be completed in a few days. I'm adding LEDs to mine so I can fly it at night also.

    Depron. Not as resilient as EPP, but more rigid. I was on the hill watching while this video was being filmed last year. I'm not sure I'm as skilled as the pilot in the video, but I'll give it a try.

    this is the only one i have. i do need to take an updated one though, with the new vehicles and the semi-matching paint schemes.

    major changes from this picture to current:
    -addition of the nano quad
    -addition of the e-jato
    -addition of the mini boat
    -new boddies on both crawlers
    -short course converted to truggy
