Thanks Mark! I just started getting into the drones, I have an AR now and learning to fly it (steady). Mine does decent pics/videos but Gert's I believe is better!!

Re: Boss Hoss Coolant Fan

I ordered the Derale fan because it is deeper and has a 22 amp 2 speed motor; hopefully it will solve my problem. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-18214 The Zirgo claims a higher CFM, but they have a small motor and also have too many bad reviews. I tried to make it a puller fan but couldn't b...

Re: Avon vs. Metzler

I ran a couple Metz 280 on my BH before the new motor. I remember the one tire was replaced just under 2,500 miles the other was around 4,000. The 4K was really babied ... all the wide tires are thin from my experience. After the new engine I ran a car tire because traction was an issue. I'm not a M...

"I'm not sure what car guy would tell you not to change the filter unless you want trouble?" It doesn't make any sense, but I've heard similar - not the filter, but the fluid! A discussion regarding solenoid valves... somebody knows somebody that changed the fluid and then a solenoid valv...

I just completed the rear-end cover fix. Now I'm moving on to the tranny. I have 8800 miles on it and since it's up on jacks and leaks drive me crazy I'm going to change the pan gasket. Question is would you also change the filter while you have it opened. The tranny fluid is clean and red. Some ca...

I would like to believe the response from BH ... maybe it's true, maybe it isn't? Like I've said in previous posts only time wil tell. Companies don't always tell you the truth or even part truths.

Re: Boss Hoss company for sale??

It is hard to believe all of the negative comments. Sure not all acquisitions go well. I have always thought that Boss Hoss is a hugely under marketed product. Look at Harley Davidson back in the 70's when they were owned by AMF. They were producing crap and lost tremendous market share to import b...
