World's Fastest Mean Ma!chine

[Fluid]

This was a P-LOS setup with an AquaCraft 1800 Kv motor and 4S1P. Tough to see from the fuzzy photo, but it is in mph. My Infiniti G37S is governor-limited to 155 mph, so what you see is the reading right out of the boat. I have witnesses. Sometimes stuff happens.......

must be all about the prop in that setup...lol

Now thats a record. And on 4S1P! I heard the Euro Infinity doesnt have a governor but somehow 155mph doesnt seem to be a limit most of us want to test right? Good job on the Mean Machine. I bet its that new super secret 12 bladed prop everyone is so hush hush about? Man,.....I got to get me one of them!

I heard that when Fluid popped the lid on the mean machine it was illegally running 30 feet of gfreak stage 12 water cooling line.
Thats obviously the reason it hit such high speeds.

can never trust gps readings..i mean we all know that steven had a typo in his description for the mean machine in the store 70mph..it was supposed to read 170..gps is about 10mph off

Can I borrow your GPS to measure my boat's speed this weekend?

[Alexgar]

I want the real speed video and your setup im building one jay and i cant ge it over mid 50s on an updated 1420 and 5 s but ill be willing to bet all the lnks were not in a row same reason i dont trust my old gps but ask jesse my boats run saw speeds constant. Cant wait to make my debut at Katy in lso

Maybe fast for an RC boat, but it wouldn't compete with my wife's minivan. I once checked the top speed registered on her GPS and it read over 200mph! The things they do when we're not around...

[oscarel]

Was Jesse the witness?

[Scott T]

Should try it on 6S!

Aah yes. The sanity arguement. My youngest daughter used that one with me in defense of her speeding ticket and why she should appear before a judge or pay the assumed fine. I stupitdly asked if she could defend herself in front of the judge? She quite simply stated that the officer had no proof other then his opinion as well? That was her defense? So as a father I said go ahead and contest it. Well in front of some 30 or 40 people she managed to see the facts as prepared by the Washington State Patrol versus her perception. Instead of the fine set at $55 as a common fine for this offense she did get it reduced to $50. After a commitment of 5 hours including travel time, gasoline in the amount of a couple gallons, we are at $3.75 right now, she realized that sleeping in might have been a better option. While not following true to the OP my point being sometimes a nod of the head and a little prior experience might be a better guide than to assume. I think she now see's dad somewhere between beliveable and or plausable other then just a monument to old fuddy duddy. Ooh yes. My GPS never lies. I always love a constant!

That GPS is vintage. You should store it and take care of it for a couple more years and then sell it of ebay in vintage collectors electronics. It might pull a good buck. Later, MM

video?????

[T.S.Davis]

video?????

From 16 years ago? Doubt it. Heck, most of us were just learning the joys of smart phones. Maybe though. Haven't heard from Jay in a while.

So true you are
