The only pics I have are those that you have been posting of your 15yr old daughter. I continue to hold them in my left hand with my meat in my right...I think you can figure out the rest.....

Will you have to go with a different set of props with your new set up?

Not sure yet? Need to get it in the water and make a few passes first to see how it runs. Im curious to find out if it still floats...lol. The 6 blades we had on old SCX's didn't quite spin as high as we would of liked. I think they also gave it to much stern lift. R3 has always said 5 blades are typically faster that the 6 blades.

Im guessing that with the new setup we may get the 6 blades to spin the R's we want and hopefully assist in the top end. However, if we need to go to a bigger 5 blade, I suppose that's what we will have to do. At this point, Id like to just hear it run.... Im sure R3 will figure it all out.

RB Hixson says after 120 MPH you need to go with 5 blades
