Do you guys remember a video of a RC Boat running the snow ? That boat was pretty fast in the snow...

No worries.. Cookies, breaded chicken strips and have even added dark chocolate covered bacon to the mix now too. ;) *Surprised it took you this long to notice my signature*

I couldn't justify the $ to buy the red one now either.. Bought it a long time ago and paid way too much for it at the time (I think my jet ski cost me less..). The 1/4 scale Catch 10 was made up mostly of scrap pieces of marine mahogany and maybe $50 of balsa and the tiny strips of mahogany used for the stringers, etc..

The new yellow tunnel needs a lot of work and a bit of $ thrown at it, but to be honest, I picked it up for only $75! You just have to be that guy that wins the Kijiji lottery. I've been into this r/c stuff since well before I could legally drive, so I have boxes full of parts to frankenstein it all together hopefully..

Web sites like www.hobbyking.com make the hobby way more affordable than it ever was years ago.

Picked up the retro Kyosho foamie and Jackson outboard today. Has the original boxes for the boat and outboard too. Hard to find much info but it's got to be close to 30 yrs old now. 8-)

That takes me back! I got mine in 1987 lol...I even turned the hood around to make it look more realistic...

Is the boat side of the motor mount on the boat or missing?
