Thats good encouragement for my old andy brown mongoose hull.I dont know what motor to put in it. It was a .67 nitro boat. It 38 inches long.

[Xfactor]

It actually placed 3rd in the Nats back in the 90's yeah this hull that old. Some of the new stuff doest look this good,but some of the new stuff is better like the eagle sgx. Even that zipkit jae 21 looks very competitive in its runs on you tube.

yeah it is cool. Dont you think he spent more than hanspeters 233? twin turbines? Alot of stuff to break. Im looking at 72 inch race v plans.http://www.john-tom.com/RCPowerBoats/RCPowerBoat.html. Im thinking twin brushed on a gearbox. Yeah you heard me right brushed so I can run can gear them to 1 shaft on a 1 to 1 ratio heres the prospective motor. It doesnt have to absolutely fly. If i can get a 72 inch to go 50mph im good.Im not going to pay 2 or 3 thousand in brushless motors and lipos.Thats a few house notes forget that.

[bigpapa]

ain't that the truth ..........

I just got the coupler for 6mm shaft so i submerged an x 457 an ran 18 volts to the motor. Oh my god what torque. I ran it full submerged for 2 min. motor got luke warm. I definately think two of these on a gearbox will push tha 72 inch boat. One should push an eigth scale.
