i think 70 is possible but not the run time stated,, please let me know your opinions,, and feel free to contact this fella

Not possible

[larz001]

Not possible

i didnt think so either but he is quite adament that the info is true and correct and that i didnt know anything about fe boats

[dana]

Sounds likes he's is the one who doesn't know anything. 45 minutes on 1 5000 pack is just absurd. Ask him where the video is to prove it. I bet he has none

i did ask and he says there is none ,, then i said i would drive the 3.5 hours and he could prove it in person and if his claims were accurate i would pay him double what he is asking for the boats in his ad and i havent heard from him since

it wont surprise me any, it would be nice if other members would contact him and let him know he's full of crap, im wondering if he counts the time that he is upside down in the water waiting to get rescued as part of the total run time,, it seems to me he is just trying to scam a newbee into buying his stuff thinking they will be getting a heck of a deal,,,, if ya look at his ad there is pictures of all his stuff , he says the value is over 700 i priced his stuff out at hk and r2hobbies and all his stuff can be purchassed new for around 350-400 roughley,,,, it is too bad someone will get ripped off from him

WOW ...guess ive got bad 5000mah lipos...mine dont make a solid 10 minute runtime with hot brushless motors....some people...as dana said ...its a shame someone is going too not know better and is goin to get ripped off by this guy...DJ

[larz001]

i compared his setup with my mystic stock motor upgraded prop(m445) amd i only get 6.5 min wot with a speed of mabee upper 40's, i told him that i thought his speed is possible with his setup but his run times were absurd like dana said, i did the math and he is claiming his setup only pulls 5 amps at 70-7 mph,, feel free to email him and let him know hes full of crap ,, i think the more people that contact him the better it might deter him from being dishonest with his claims

If its on the net..its gotta be true!

The guy's decimal point challanged - a rare disease that many "low information people" suffer from. His 4C batteries at 5000 mah capacity with that motor, crummy lower unit and toy hull might do seventy in his car's back seat. To run 45 minutes on 5000mah the motor would be drawing 4.5A and would maybe go 7mph. Or is he Kilometer/per hour cornfused as well ?
