8s lipo MM vid

[RMZDADDY]

I said last week that I'd post a vid of my Mean Machine running 8s lipo.
It has a 12xl 1.22:1 gears, hacker master navy 77, 25c 4800 lipos, and an M440 prop. 57.2 mph on gps. I swear I'm gonna have to learn to drive this thing all over again. The last part of the vid shows it hitting a big stick in the water, fortunately it only cost me a break-away screw on the rudder! Here it is:

i think you need to prop up.:)

Damn, that's fast! Let me get my courage built up, I may give it a try
Thanks Tom, I sure had fun with it today, I think the fuel guys got a kick out of it too.

the hull might not handle it ?
it might it looks pretty darn stable there.
mine was in a titan40.. i was VERY surprised on how it ran.... all the titan 40's i have seen didn't run nearly as good..


lets hope it goes well!!!. make it fast

that is a fast boat!
I looks pretty stable to me in the water and if the temps are good you should consider propping up a bit and then some more...

that is just sick fast, and I was hoping for close to 40 with 4S and a 10xl. Might not be a fantasy after all.

Fossil fuel is obsolete, case and point our present predicament with our full size autos. FE all the way in every way, I love the stealth blow by speed.

What I understand is that it will not draw as many amps at full throttle. You will have slightly less starting power but I have not noticed it when using brushless.
