I like how at one stage it has a lean stutter so he leans it a bit more 
. Would have liked to see a temp reading after that effort.

RE: you got to check this video out!!
you dont tune it in that way.. thats a fastest way to blow a rod out of the motor=chuck a motor out and be out of 400.00 very fast. We was alway told to not to rev the motor like that plus you do most of your turnning wial its running in the water underload.

Well I didnt totaly waste my CMB.21RS Redhead. I'd put it to good use, a flying circus use! That guy should've used a.46 or .67 for that big 40" cat hull.He'd wouldve had better results[>:] Ron is that hull plastic or fiberglass??

RE: you got to check this video out!!
I'm not sure off-hand which hull he has there as Kyosho did make two of them, one is plastic then upgraded later to fiberglass.
Even RCBM wasn't all that impressed with it as their review wasn't all that glowing. They brought up the problems of a too large hull for the supplied .32 and the poor handling. Kyosho put too many "band-aid fixes on that boat plus used off-the-shelf parts instead of making new ones. When a Cat needs turn fins and trim tabs you know that it has issues. They still can't seem to get away from the steerable outdrives and hard shafts. Sport boats are one thing but wasting money on dropping a CMB in there is worse. That engine deserves better.

after watching the video, not only does that engine deserve a better hull but
it also deserve a better owner.

RE: you got to check this video out!!
well he's from greese they have money to burn! Ron If I remember wright,the first addition cat had a.21 then the second one came with a .28?To me way to small for that hull. A .46-67 wouldve been a better choice.
