Sweet video man!! I have a formula 1/12 scale allready and I love it!!! I just bought the Miss Elam 1/8 scale from eBay and cant wait to get it. I love watchin them when they come up close and idle, and then when you punched it to take off.....Awesome!!

The navigation image veru much resemble that of 1/1 scale hydroplanes! This hydroplane is definitely something to be proud of.

Cool video. When you made this video was it with the stock prop? I just purchased one of these boats but have not put it in the water yet. 5 Stars!

sweet has it flipped yet?
Pretty boat. Nice piloting skills too. I like the fact that you don't drop to an idle, are not afraid to hit those turns at full tilt and don't turn so sharp as to kill all your cornering speed. The drag will help slow it down...usually, right? Have you looped it yet? Tried any prop mods? I've got a nice, polished 3-bladed stainless prop on one of my 1/8 scale Miss Budweisers that made a huge difference. Lots of aftermarket engines too that will continue to test your courage. Cool video!

Thanks for the comment...Currently running with an Octura 472 2 blade prop. I tried a monster Pro Shop 4 blade prop but It loaded engine down too much with no improvement in speed. The boat was hopping in the corners so I am back to Octura x472 prop.
