Fuck ya, thats a nice Bud boat!!

so.... do ya gotta build these things pete, or can they be bought as a complete ready-to-go kinda thing?

You can buy the model version and put it together piece by piece which takes about 2 fuckin years or you can buy the plastic version which is lighter and preassembled but you have to mount the engine and radio and shit. Then paint it too, although they may have them prepainted now as well.

Best thing is to pick up a copy of the magazine RC Boat Modeller.

hmm... well i definately don't wanna go with the two year plan...

Hey AMP is my ICQ getting throught to you? Hit me back, man. I gotta conversate.

Office fun for nerds, really cool for 20bucks :)

Email works too...you've got mail. If it made it across the Pacific.

:( That doesn't look like a jet plane at all.

BTW, AMP, I used to special effects. We did the Bud Frogs when they were popular, and one of the commercials was on the real hydro bud boat.

One of the frogs jumps into the boat and kicks it on. Well, we shot the commercial in an airplane hangar in Van Nuys. At one point the guy had to turn it on... DAAAAYYUUMM!! Inside an airplane hanger that mother fucker was loud!! It was on the water, but anchored to the stage floor, thru the big pool we were in. That mother fucker has some serious power.

I got to sit inside and cacth a frog as we tossed it in to look like he jumped in. That's one bad ass boat... but not more bad ass than an RC JET.

i found the Bud boat package, but it's out of stock... :(


but it does come ready to run.... just add fuel :thumbsup

definately... post up some pics! :thumbsup

Thats the "weed eater" style engine and not the Nytro fuel engine. That one is much slower

hmmm.... they got a 1/12 scale that's supposed to be nitro... the one in the link there is 1/8 scale

That'd be fun, but in anything other than dead still water it'd probably pearl.

I'd get something fast and very tough so you can fuck around with it in the surf. Run it out to fuckin Jaws on a big day or something.. lol.

Get an 11cc nitro if you want some speed, or a twin 11cc "mongoose Outrigger" that bitch 'll do almost 100 mph with a 60 foot rooster tail!

something more like this maybe Gutterboy? (also out of stock)

any idea where to find one of those?

ahhh.. I found one... yeah, I think I'm gonna hafta let go of the hydro idea and find someting to handle the waves....

My batteries are dead in my camera, so i drive to Target to buy some. my three year old throws a huge fuckin fit in the store so i left without without the batteries and now I'm too pissed off, i dont go around my planes when i'm pissed so here are two pics from the model club instead.

I have 6 more in flying condition and 2 more under construction, one helicopter, one RC10 offroad racing truck and a 4 wheel drive onroad car, one real plane (not rc) and one kitplane (not rc) that is under contruction.

Maybe tomorrow when i'm in a btter mood i'll go take some pics, that kid really pissed me off tonight.

100

whatta ya do when this happens?

Check this out

hahaha!!! you're kidding me.... :1orglaugh

man they got a horrible fuckin' site...

I'd launch it off the end of the Pacifica Pier on a 20ft day.

hell, that thing doesn't even need waves... and it rights itself up if you wipe it too.... it's nearly perfect...

hey amp, didn't get your email - i had a severe melt down over some things this morning and have decided to drop everything and not do any work at all this weekend (the first time in well over a year) - so i'm not around my main computer at the moment.

One of my neighbors has this gem:

Their yard looks like shit.

hey now... that thing is sweet! do ya need one for every room, or can it go from room to room?


ahhh, okay.... well, it's there whenever you get back on it. :winkwink:

Offer to redesign it for 10 of those boats.
