I find Rock Crawling to be a perfect blend with Boats, lots of fun both RC and 1to1

Thats my sort of Rock Crawling Randy. Looks like real fun and you get to see some great scenery.

You should change your signature to Several boats in various stages of decay

That was the last test I can do with the cars as I have gone as fast as I can go with what I have got. I need a sensored motor and esc to go faster. Some of them are 11,000 kv. Cars are not in my blood like boats are. I have lots of hours up on my 4 channel glider now but it is getting warmer and I am thinking boats again. Not a lot of fun in -3 degree mornings at the lake. Getting old I think.

New record but not as fast as I had hoped...

Notice how the center of the tyres on the front are wearing out. That is because of centrifugal force makes them balloon and only wears that part of the tyre. These have only done about 6 kilometers and they are buggered.




Setup...
Tamiya Mini Cooper M03 LWB, 6000kv motor, 3s Turnigy nanotech = 77.1 kph or 47.9 mph

Hmm ... when I see glassy water , I'll go to the 3/4mile canal & bring the radar gun... there's no telling how fast this will go before it burns or drowns....
Yesterday's splash was merely a float and drive test.

That the stuff Doc. I would hate to see it embedded 6 inches into the concrete wall at the far end of your run.

[drwayne]

Looking good Doc. It will run on forever at full speed. You are going to need most of that pond.

btw .. 100k+ 120 means kmh .. this is expecting 160k+/100mph+ with more time ( today was maiden )

I need to get up early in the morning to achieve calm flat water..this vid was midday
Problem here is Im not a morning person. Truth be known, I not even a daytime person ! :)

took my latest recommissioned previous owner rc boat out for it's maiden today.... was a little ripper.. pity the choppy 1.5" waves.. but generally happy with the ride and burst of speed from light application the 'Go' finger. x440/3 @110k ...v942/3 gave wow factor 120+ but insufficient clear water for flat out 0¿0 !

I would love to see a picture of the boat if you have time.

I am sure a pair of Douggies shorts would catch quite a bit of wind if the K7 spinnakers dont work out

We need shake the botty wind out before use ...
