Default Yeah, so.. R/C boats. Anybody know much about them ? v.sydney rain

This rain in Sydney is seriously giving me the you-know-whats, and more is predicated for the entire month of June

Onroad, offroad, gas and electric.. they are ALL stuck on the shelf.

So, that leaves BOATS.

Are they raced/run anywhere around Sydney ? I'm guessing R/C boats is a 'rain hail or shine' thing right ? With the whole 'already wet' thing going on

I remember seeing them being run back in the day at narrabeen, opposite the sports academy, but it may have been more about r/c sailing, steam and tug boats. Nothing too fast.

Share with me the r/c pain of this Sydney rain

Yep my BJ26 is looking more usable than the BJ4 this weekend. Might head out to Parramatta Park and give it a go there with the new LiPo's.

However, there are a bunch of us from Ryde looking for an undercover area to go for a bash on Saturday afternoon, if you're keen check our thread tonight and tomorrow morning.

Not quite...does take a few weeks to dry out, the place almost turns into a swamp...The benefits are that at the moment, we are getting 28 degree days with barely any cloud at all. So I guess we all have to take the good with the bad

Cheers
