Yep, got the boat from Shogren, great guy!

Expecting 840-850 on the motors. I upgraded the drives to SCX last year. Running 32 6 blade Herings and 1:36 gear in lower.

btw...i did read the post about Griffen. I hope that doesnt happen to me. I just wouldn't think Fountain would use him if he was not putting out a quality rebuild/product. Sucks what happened to others though.

are you running the scx lowers also, do you happen to know how high your drive shaft heaght is and how did it work out going to the six blades ?

Thanks for the pic! The sand, boat and young lady all look amazing. Did you get rained on? Looks like a storm blowing in. :eek: It also doesn't look like TN sand?

Doesn't Joey's wife work at Fountain too?

Hering just came out with some nice seven blades!

Wow did we wreck a thread or what? :lolhit:

Here you go.

I had Brian put real gas tanks in and Joey Griffen is doing top end and Stage III Whipple upgrades.

When you come to Jammin on the James bringing her is mandatory :evilb::lolhit::evilb:

I'm using sportmaster lowers. Sorry I dont know the drive shaft height.

Going to 6 blades and going from 1:50 gears to the 1:36 made a huge difference. 12+mph gain.

Sorry for the hijack! LOL...hey..u guys asked for the pics!

She might make it to JOTJ! She is damn good on the throttles too!

I also have 1.36 gears -2 shorty sportmasters , boat was setup to 09 specs so my shaft height about -1 above the bottom, so im worried about slinging more blades , allready lost 1 blade on a herring 5 blade, with the new power we will see what happens . Thinking about going to the scx lowers and using #6 props , but dont want to change to many things at once.
