Seeing this thread might spark another interest. I built and raced 1/10 electric back in the same time frame as the OP. I need another hobby like my wife needs another pair of shoes.

She went and picked it up, and it is probably $5k worth of RC boat and helicopter stuff. I still haven't even gone through it all to see what there is. Mix of electric and nitro.

I looked at some traxxis buggies the other day and almost ordered one. Fixing this boat may scratch the itch and save me some coin

I havent even looked at parts and I dont know of a place local to ask about what size motor. Im sure it still runs but its all old tech and more speed is always good. It ran about 20 from what I remember. It probably 30" long.

I don't know if there are any shops around any more. We visited a store/ track down in Sugarland a few years ago when my son was getting the itch, but it has since closed.
