A week or so ago Tony and I and I along with Bill O. helped teach youngsters how to drive their very first RC boat at the Pomona RC show. Venom supplied a few Wave Jumpers for this experience and the kids absolutley loved it. Tony and I were given Wave Jumpers. I shared mine with underpriviledged kids in my neighorhood but Tony had a much different idea.
After the run yesterday on my lake, and after everyone left, Tony shared his new "Top Secret' race boat build with me. He plans to modify a Wave Jumper. The attached pictures tell the story.
Not satisfied with the run time and top speed of the stock Wave Jumper, Tony is making a few minor modifications:
He replaced the stock 1800 mAhr NiMH cell with a 5000mAhr 40C racing LiPo pac
He cut the hatch open to get at the tiny stock brushed motors
Is installing some BIG brushesss beasts with water cooling and direct "stinger-type drives.
I told him he was crazy................he needs a 3-bladed polished metal props rather than a two bladed carbon filled toy props to make the thing go.
Evidently Tony got some advanced information from the National and International FE racing association that they plan to introduce a new racing class called the "Unlimited Jet Ski Class".
That's old Tony.............always ahead of the FE curve.
PS, He would not say if Randy at BBY is consulting for him on this project.
