Designer Build by Zippkits

COMPETITION ONE.  Innovative designer/builders who will use ROAR approved (Car) motor or a 1/8th scale car/buggy s for power. Optional power will include .12 - .18 pull start Nitro motor. A list of  ROAR approved motors can be found at, http://www.roarracing.com/approvals/brushlessmotors.php. Other 1/8th scale BL motor are available and suitable for the build.

The intent of this contest is to generate new designs that use standard R/C Car power plants.

We are looking for designs that can use power systems directly out of an RC Car, Buggy or Truck. ZippKits manufacturer wood boat kits, so we are interested in designs that would be relatively easy to assemble from wood or a wood/foam composite. Try to steer clear of lots of compound curves and such.

We encourage creativity. If you have something a little off the beaten path, or different than what is currently available, we want you! A modified existing design is also eligible. No specific classes or designs are required. It is wide open!

You could become famous! “Designed By” will be listed anytime your design is promoted, and will also appear on every instruction manual printed.

All designs become the property of Zipp Manufacturing, and ZippKits retain exclusive manufacturing rights.

Official Rules

Scale Hydro Build by Rum Runner Hobbies and Rocky Mountain Vintage  RC

COMPETITION TWO.  The world famous Rum Runner Racing Scale Hydro Build Competition, continues.

Sponsored by: Rum Runner Hobbies & Rocky Mountain Vintage RC Boats

Official Rules

1. To build a Sport Scale Hydro, in 1/8th, 1/10th, 1/12th, 1/16th or any other scale. We wish to be as inclusive as possible, so while we suggest using the free downloadable plans, any plan may be used, bear in mind the racing portion, which will require either a 1/12th or 1/10th   “ish” scale. However there will be no such restrictions for the “On-Line Building Contest. The Plans may of course be enlarged, modified, or one of the smaller scale hydros (1/16th) may also be built. This will be in the same fashion as the previous build contest.

2. The boat may be built from a laser cut kit or built from scratch, with no point penalty for building from a kit. The contest is to promote building skills, and to help others overcome building challenges, by providing problems and solutions to our forum members and readers.

3. The competition is put forth in the spirit of camaraderie, fun, building skills and to increase the interest in the hobbies of both boat building and fast electric racing.

4. This Competition will be deemed completed on or about May 31st, 2010. Judging will be on or before June 5th, 2010 and the winner announced.

Competition Prizes: TBA
