That's insane where can I get the plans and specs on it?
I've never would have believed it if I didn't see it.

Thanks Tom

No plans, these use vacuum bagged composite molded tubs and sponsons.

For fun at least, you can kinda get away with using the JAE.12 plans with wider sponsons, modding with a taller tub for electrics and using thinner wood than recommended for lightness, but its still going to be heavy and have basically zero aerodynamics, I ran one like that for a while and IIRC my best lap score was 33, and the fast guys are doing 37 now (for comparison we race a 200m or 1/5km course, so 33 laps equates to an average of 88 seconds/mile for 4.1 miles, and 37 laps equates to an average of 78 seconds/mile for 4.6 miles (it doesnt equate 100% as we have 70+ turns to slow down for as opposed to 10 or 12, and I would guess that our turn radius is smaller on the smaller course too, but it should give some idea as someone above said Pltd hydro did 75seconds/mile for 1 mile)), so with a decent woodie 4 laps down, you can still have fun if your not overly competitive, but your only going to be taking points off people that crash, flip, or break down.
For a while after i got a mouldie I still ran the woodie in bad weather as the extra weight wasn't much of a hindrance in bad water and the lack of aero lift was helpful in high wind, but now moulded boats have grown bigger, and selfrighting designs progressing from the mini classes to full sized classes flipping isn't as relevant as it was, and you need a very unlucky field to place with 11% less performance.

What about motor kv,prop,and speed you ran for that 5 minute run?
I cant get over that run time mine will only run about 80 or 90 seconds at 60 mph.

My hull is from etti,

Would prefer to keep motor specs quiet but typically it’s 36mm motors and circa 3500kv

Prop was a dr props 38mm in that video, I do have a bunch of abc to play with when time allows.

Thanks that gets me in the ballpark.

I got into this hobby after being out of it for 25 years to have something to do in retirement. Man thing have gotten so much better but I'm learning all over again on my own cause no one is doing it here in Knoxville.

Thanks for the help guys.
