000_0272.JPGAlamo1505 viewsI brought this boat from Astec and am very pleased with the way it looks and performs. It is fast and stable running on BB turbo and 12 cells but think it will handle more power. This get a lot of attention from others when on the water. Would highly recommend if you enjoy fast electrics. Next project is to upgrade to 14 cells to see how it performs.mike collier

crusader.jpgCrusader838 viewsThese are stunning pictures of two Crusader models built by Ernie Lazenby and Eddy Matthews of John Cobs original record breaking boat. Like so many other record makers John lost his life to this boat when the front step collapsed. To some extent it must be his fault as he was told that the step was not in the best condition, however like all these people he could not be swayed from his target, climbed back in the boat and never returned. Foolhardy or brave? All we can say is that without people like this nastecmodeluk

Ron says " There are a few details to be added to and the white strakes on the hull but she looks the part with the transfers look good. I can’t wait to get her running in her finished state. I’m particularly proud of this one as she was more involving to build than the touchwood kits. I can’t believe her organic shape was made by me, from wood!". Nicastecmodeluk
