Turbine Powered Model of the Miss GEICO Mystic

[Mark2790]

*sniff* thats the most beautiful thing ive ever seen

[ckyownz9]

how much is it for a leter of this fuel lol

[kinmount8]

I've got the money, how do I get one

[jwandhistools]

Want. Want badly.

[TheNitronaught]

Are these still water cooled then?

[lgmoisespa]

How much is an engine of this?

What fuel is used?

Where do you buy these engines?

Thank you.

[amfoffshoreracing]

@lgmoisespa - Search "RC boat turbine engines," there is a lot of information available. I believe the engines were $5k each and they use Jet-A fuel - same as the real Miss GEICO.

[PiezPiedPy]

@lgmoisespa check out wren turbines ;)

[goodcheesema]

All it needs is a nitro truck and trailer in the same scale in the same color. You could take the whole setup to a beach and try and remotly launch the boat.

[Bikerider914]

How do you build a mineatchure rc tourbine engine?

[tastybbq1]

where do you get the turbines from......

I would like to have in my fishing boat

[amfoffshoreracing]

@rakisaan

You're right, the color looks the same in the video, we tried to get it as close as we could to our boats!

[mihec87]

Could anybody help me which color is on this boat i mean tone, it is not yellow but smth familiar?

[amfoffshoreracing]

@mihec87

The boat is yellow, a neon yellowish-green, sometimes called 'safety green.'

[m93sek]

how do you get the power from the turbines to the props?

[Blessed43209]

The "TOP SPEED" is of no concern of mine. This is just a beautiful piece of "HOBBY" machinery, period! I have dreams of this boat and would LUV to have a couple. JUST AWESOME TO ME! I wouldn'teven get close to top speed if this was MINE! Just trully like this boat.

[Blessed43209]

Great boat!!!!!!! Is it for sale?? And who built it? Excellent work!!

[Brushlessboy16]

There is no sound better than two turbines spooling up...

[AKAxAUTO]

Thats awesome

[graill1]

To lay this to rest, hopefully, Jurgen, this is graill on the RRR forum. I talked to Chris and Bob, both of whom you know.

You need to make a couple corrections for AMF, first the turbines are 10 hp each, not 15 hp.

Your 100 mph speed claim is also false, You and I and Chris and anyone with years of experience can do the math, it doesnt add up. Until you run a sanctioned 330 foot course dont post GPS speeds that are inccorrect.

I will also have doug stop posting on this thread.

travscorsair, i am sending you a couple links to some racing sites with folks that know how to build and race the rc cats. The geico turbine rc cat while pretty isnt a racing machine, its a shelf model/show piece (superb workmanship). The info provided by the builder is way off and innaccurate. AMF has stated they will change the info to make it correct but to date they havent. Not looking like they care whether its accurate or not.

[amfoffshoreracing]

The info was given to me by the builder of the boat. I talked with him a couple of weeks ago and he has told me to leave it. Therefore, that is what I'm doing. We are not putting up incorrect info on purpose, or trying to deceive people. I am only putting up the info that was given to me by this fan.

[travscorsair]

thanx for the info possum440,send me a private e-mail i'll forward my pics to you.

[travscorsair]

please send me a private e-mail,i have one of the hpr swiss built rc cats,need some info on power to weight ratio....thanx amfoffshoreracing nice cat.

[barzan454]

this is just sweet boat, who build it, is it avilable in thert for sale?

[planezero]

You can build it yourself, its a MHZ Mystic C5000 hull with twin SPM 5 Marine Turbine engines.

Its not just sweet... its supersweet :))

[roberthehn]

Sorry for the typo, I meant to type such instead of suck.

[roberthehn]

Thats a lot of power for suck a small model.
