I got in a 6S ramp and bash session with my Asuga this afternoon. My normal ramp is too big to fit in my car, so I used a makeshift ramp made from a sheet of plywood and a handful of plastic skate ramps. The plywood blew away a couple of times in the strong winds and the ramp was anything but stable. Still, I got a few really nice sends; including a couple of backflips and I even pulled--and landed--a front flip. The Asuga continues to impress: fast, agile, tough, and most importantly FUN! I love, love, love this rig!

That big ramp took less then 5 minutes to make
it was a good pallet, chopped the one end off and added a couple 2x6 ends laying around

My "rescue boat" came from Amazon today. I'm hoping this little guy can retrieve my sailboat should it need to be rescued. I had things I needed to do after work today, so only got to test it out in the backyard pond fir about 15min. This thing is just about the perfect size(11") and speed for my little pond. I a actually enjoyed zooming around the pond a lot more than I thought I would.
Now, I'll need to experiment with different methods and rigs to make this work for retrieving the much larger sailboat.

Race report: got 3rd again. First 2 heats was a mess. I got a little peeved off in the 2nd heat because the orange and white car and the blue car ran into me on purpose while I was leading causing my steering to be thrown off again. I know it was on purpose because everyone was getting too rowdy and careless. I'm completely fine with "rubbing is racing" but they took it a little too far. In the main, I returned the favor and spun them both out to clinch 3rd spot while I was a couple laps behind. I was a couple laps behind because the track went from grippy to loose in an instant.
Either way, I'll being taking a little break from Tuesday nights. Work has been slamming me with a lot of things to take care of and I could use a break.

Uncool that they intentionally made contact.

I'd have ran them off the track.

As mentioned, I bought this for the purpose of it being a rescue boat. I've actually attempted that yesterday. Trying to use the boat as like a tug boat and pushing another vessel into position was rather tricky. It's not like a car where you could simply do minor steering into position. With this boat, you have to drift into position, which will require quite a bit of practice, on my part.Looks pretty responsive.
I'm going to have to look into other methods as well.

Can you attach a small length of pool noodle to the front? it would slow it down and give you more pushing surface.

Stick a rare earth magnet on the front of your sailboat and attach a pole on the speedboat with a ball magnet.

Pinpoint steering accuracy is tough in the water, especially from a distance. It's not like steering and maneuvering a land vehicle. Once the throttle goes off, there's not much steering. I think mostly because of the tiny rudder. Also, there's not really a low speed. It's essentially medium, fast, and full throttle.
