Ultra modified SV 27 pics ...

[Ctonez]

i want to know, lets see who here on the forum really thinks this messy little sv27 would do 55mph

...only if towed behind my Pmono.
He's got to be a kid...go easy on him.

Bench racing doesn't matter...Hex, any time you make it to The Pacific NorthWest, send me a PM, I'd love to race...we can video it and everything!
The only way I am gonna believe anyone's SV is faster than mine is video proof or racing head-to-head. I'm sure many of you feel that way.

That being said, I know what an SV is like @ 50+, and Hex's setup would be on it's lid in a jiffy @ 50+. Haven't read much at all about the handling @ 55...?

That SV w/ a 9XL on 5S on youtube looks pretty fast...

HAhaha! CTonez... Soon I will be the owner of a Bushnell Radar gun 0-200 MPH range. I will show it to you all here,just wait until it arrives ,because I will be sending the MO to them on Monday...HAHAHAHA ...To me GPS units are sucky for measuring real speed in MPHs,by the way my friend with a GPS that I mentioned at the begining is on vac to London.Why I dislike GPS units?Simple answer,because they add 5oz. of weight to any R/C.We ll see whos SV or BJ 26 is running the best. I should start asking everyone here to post videos of their own boats with MPH results in GPS or Radar guns.After I get my Radar gun of course. Even to those guys with the NEUs .Check with you all later.

Since I drag race I dont care much about run times. I care more for voltages. To add at least 5 MPH to any R/C you need twice the amount of mahs for example ..say you have a 4000 mah battery ...in order to add at least 5MPH more to any R/C you will need double that amount. You need 8000 Mah just to add five more miles per hour so to me mah doesnt count much and its why I look more for Volts than anything else..though good run time is also appreciated Chiro.Oh and not to say that a 4000 mah batt. is twice lighter than any 8000 mah out there. Voltage can add at least 10+ MPH per NiMH cell... Thats why LiPOs only come in 2 cells three, four or six,because their voltage amount per cell is more than any NiCD or NiMH.They are around 3.7 v a cell ,while NiMHs are 1.25 sometimes more than 1.25 each cell.It also depends on your ESC too. A LiPO may add more than 10+MPH per cell,but who s going to have a 12 cell LiPO batt. unless you want your R/C to do close to 200 MPH.

I actually feel dumber having read that

My 10s boats don't break 90mph

Your personal knowledge and experience seems to be very limited.

It's good to be enthusiastic, but your kind of spreading disinformation. Imagine the poor beginner that drags up your posts through a search later on and takes your statements at face value.
If I were you, I'd be asking more questions and doing more reading before making the clearly false statements you've been making.

Here we go again...Im sorry ,BUT...NTM...Who the heck are you to write that?Do you know me? I started running R/Cs in the 80s ... Got into the real thing in 2002 until today. I have R/C s for drag racing in asphalt ,dirt, a Mini hi-performance helicopter from Hirobo and my two boats, Aquacraft and Pro-Boat. I ve ran HPIs for Oval racing in asphalt (HPI Sprint) 18 cell car project that went not so good and to add to that Nitro Monster trucks and buggies ex.CEN Fun Factor 2 and Kyosho Inferno.Recently I ve had some interest in drifting and rock crawling.What are you calling false? You sound grumpy and all. I am not a newbie to boats anymore and at first I owned air cooled hi performance R/C boats and the Vee from Tower Hobbies. In the 80s I ran the Nikko Lobos 1,2 and 3 ,plus some other monster trucks from Nikko ex. the twin motored "Hercules"the infamous "Apache Buggy " from Radio Shack which was very impresive back then for a $90.00 price tag ...a host of other R/C s which I cannot recall right now. Tell me about your experince now. If you dont like it then why the heck you come to this thread? ...Gosh ...some people. Tell me what is false? I am sending money to buy a radar gun next week to be the most accurate with R/C speeds in MPH. I d let you know. Anyways keep posting to me so I can soon have a higher rank here,thanks.Bwahahaha!...

Hex I am pretty sure this is what NTM means. You obviously have no idea what your talking about in this complete ramble.
