Custom Vintage MRP Mr Pringles. This has a carbon fiber reinforced hull with a huge Astro Flight Cobalt 25 motor and heavy duty hardware and now runs on Li-po's. Will get more pics of the motor and hardware later.
LOL! Crash!! Yes it has been way too long bro!! You don't want to hear about my last 5 years!! But I have been into R/C when I can!! I will have more pictures of my current collection posted up soon. Very happy that you are also still a member on Tamiyaclub !!!!!!!!
Buddy of mine had a Miss Budweiser back around 90 or 91..we used to do boats a bit at Ramestein. Your hydro is especially cool. Does she see water from time to time?

Wow, awesome! I was never a fan of hydros but I am a big fan of MRP boats so this vintage goodness is really cool to see. I had an MRP Fast Cat in the 80's that I dismantled in order to build my custom cat so I found another Fast Cat on Ebay a few years ago to replace it but haven't run it yet. I give you credit for converting these vintage plastic boats to brushless because I couldn't bring myself to do it.

So THAT'S what you been up to Jason, long time no see/talk. I really have a hankering for a PB&J sandwich now.

YOU have stories, well brother, I got some too, unfortunately, but hey, life is what happens while making other plans.

Right on Chris.
cashrc thanks! Yes it gets used. My second boat back in the 1990's was a Miss Budweiser. I'm looking for one of those to do a brushless conversion.
