he used to make the hulls and all the running hardware

I'm a retro radio control hipster - I only like the stuff no one bought!

I am just curious. How many of you own a Traxxas boat?

Last post

It has become more popular with guys from Tamiya club coming for a run.
The local council were kind enough to do some repairs...
