Electric Open RC Boat Race, Hunter Valley Nov

[MrSpinalColumn]

All you can see is this tiny little boat (at least from this distance) and one huge mother of a rooster tail. Thats intense! Nice boats.

Nick thanks they are all going a bit faster now - the 10S ran about 62-63 seconds - now even a 6S can run under 1 minute - that sees not much but it means the best 6 cell riggers are hitting 140kph. The good thing getting something that is fast has become a lot cheaper as a result Andrew

[NickPech]

I was impressed with their speed before they started racing, after they started, well....my jaw is still on the floor...

[DRIFTCATracing]

haha they sound like donald duck on crack... killer boats, i likey.

[shl052]

Is that dam on the road into bloomfeild @ maitland bud

[omega4chimp]

does marijuana still grow wildly there?

[fastelectrics]

they were running from 60mph (100 kph) the 10S sport hydro, to about 75mph (125kph) for 10S rigger. This was 2 years ago. Today the scale hydro runs a touch over 120kph, 4S riggers a little faster the 6S riggers run 135 and a 10S rigger would be hitting over 140+kph on the oval;

[smoked17]

About how fast were they going?

[john123789able]

very good i like the race vid nice job

[fastelectrics]

No for any sort of boat but especially RC. A model must be 100% water proof and you still need to remove the shaft and lube any metal parts to prevent them jamming. You also need to ensureit is aired well and the electronics are protected from salt and any moisture.

[HELLOTOMOROW1]

Can you drive brushless boats in the sea, then hose it off?

[fastelectrics]

@HELLOTOMOROW1 yes you can run them in salt water - but mnake sure the baot is absolutely dry inside; or that the electronics are well protected from moisture. ALso treat the elctronics with something like Corrosion X and it will save a bunch of prioblems down the track

[jahtaurus]

is neu 1515 2y (1100KV) will be gooh with hydra HV 120 on 8s on 35" mono?

i find one not expensive

[fastelectrics]

Yes it is ok

Use Octura M series prop 45mm diameter to start

[jaxzf]

hey just wondering i am just about to get a RC boat and wondering which 1 i should get, i would like a boat that goes relatively fast, easy to handle and doesn't require much matanince

[fastelectrics]

jax this really depnds on whatyour budget is

Delta Force rtr 23" mono is the cheapestgood boat I am aware of - you need radio and cells (but these are not expensive). Proboat and Aquacraft monos are good to start with.

[jaxzf]

how much is a proboat?? and how fast does the stock version go?

[fastelectrics]

google proboat and when you go to their site you can see the different models they sell. Or google aquacraft both are very similar companies

[crabbystick]

is that a recorded announcement the lap calling or do you have a caller ?

[fastelectrics]

@crabbystick recorded

[98Ps3lover]

how fast & how much?

[fastelectrics]

for a first class 4S rigger approx $AU1500 depending on components approx 110kph in oval trim

6S rigger 130kph+ appprox $1700

[mkadawametwa]

mah is the compacity of the batt you want more volts ^^

[biggray94]

that makes me want one

[DRZ146]

hey dude, if i want to buy a custom battery to upgrade the boats speed, do i look for higher Mah or higher voltage?

[analmunkey]

i believe its voltage becuase thats the amount of power it dishes out. think of Mah as how much it can hold or run time. look this up incase im wrong

[fastelectrics]

More speed needs more watts

So you more both of voltage & amps is the best way to achieve that

If you want to keep the runtime you will also need more mah

[DRZ146]

oohh okay, i have another question. the supervee 27 boat runs two 7.2v batteries, does that mean it runs 14.4v on that one motor?

[fastelectrics]

That is correct.

[2007tacoma]

i think the one in last was having weight issues... it was too light

[fastelectrics]

It looks light , in fact it was the heaviest the issue is the angle of attack on the sponsons. It was too steep.

That is a bit like using a too hard pretension on a suspension spring.

It tends to throw the boat about and then it catches more air and it gets out of shape etc

Resolved now runs flat and fast.

[Espresso337]

and i thought the warmup was fast

[zimdogg4]

Man that looks like FUN!!!!!

[DPLmovies]

the fishies are waked up

[Moorsy2k7]

rofl 10 to 1

[vortecMAS]

does da red one have nos or something cause that thing is flying lol

[fastelectrics]

NOS -> sort of it. It has ten cells. The others had 4 or 6 cells.

Now days (Sept 08 onward)the 6 cell boats are faster than the 10 cell boat was. The 10 cell riggers are running 125kph.

The big white boat had 10 cells too but is a scale hull and it didn't handle nearly as well as the riggers.

[saxmanchiro]

The red one really hauls ass!

[538457142]

nice

[RTiger18]

Oh nevermind.Forget that question that i just asked.lol

[RTiger18]

[aslamartnet]

Er,wow!

[Auspice101]

Nice job filming.. That can be tough to film.

[PianoLT]

???? maybe some one knows how to make it? link or smthng thnx!!!!!!!

[Nickolai125]

So cool i want one i had a nitro one and the electric ones are just so much better easier to maintain easier to run and you can sit still in the water unlike a petrol one wherey ou have to be moving all the time lol

[tipaction]
