Hey James! when you get it we need to shread some water together!! I'll even bring the aussie!!

[sjslhill]

question

Are you a World Champion Racer?

Ordered one this morning, should be fine for what I want. Planning on using the 14 cell nimh that come with it, maybe play with props a little.

Gee and I started with a super hawaii and ended up with 2 HPR-115's!!! so what does that say about me? LOL

It says you have disposable income, but your primary hobby isn't machine guns, suppressors and belt feds!

Those are nice boats, I envy you on those!

I look forward to reports on this boat from actual pond use, it will be interesting. I want to see what I can apply from this boat to my 40" scarab!

we could always drop in a CC1520 on 6s in this thing

[Brushless55]

I was reading on the Traxxas site they get 20-25min runtimes on 6000mah packs?
that's less than 300watts on 6s

That does not make much sense. Where exactly did you read this? Link please.

hmmm, run time of 25 mins must have been calculated in a 5 mph no wake zone.

What sucks is, not only is traxxas advertising this boat as a RTR 50mph boat but with 20-25min runtimes
so the guys running without lvc are going to be pissed when their batteries pop when they go for the long runtimes!

Tony,

Us FE guys are known for helping each other out... I'd be happy to provide you a nice pen!

Would this one do??

i think you should give him one of those pens the American Government spent Millions of dollars developing to write in zero gravity, or you could just give him a pencil like the russians did lol

Common myth good sir, although I love hearing it lol.

[Krowbar69]

The russians didn't use a pencil???

Yes and so did the US. NASA just realized that when the tip breaks of the pencil it becomes floating projectile in zero gravity. They also did not like the fact that at high enough temperature the pencil could/would catch fire. A man by the name of Paul C. Fisher created the pen and funded the development himself (US did not fund the development, which is part of the myth) and proposed it to NASA who loved the concept and purchased the pen. The pen has a higher flash point and does not become a floating projectile such as the lead tip when broken. Fisher also patented the pen himself. I think I learned that in aviation history class about 8 years back when I was going to A&P school.

Maybe it is capable of 50mph? Nobody is "advertising" 20-25 min run times. That info was a dude on a forum, not advertisement.
