    Nice clip! Wish you have a bigger lake!
    Question: is your rescue craft powered by two EDF units? Nice !
    Too many boats, not enough time...

      Thanks for explaining (in so many words) were you land on the food chain. lol

      TAIL, food chain, irony... high school graduate.... maybe???? doubtful, HAHAHAHA

      Glad you were able to hit 57, my lake just wouldn't do it for me the other day . prob my experimental setup had something to do with it also. Also glad you and your buddy were able to get away from the land fill long enough to produce this video, just a mere hour after my post too!! Shouldn't you be "packing" for Mexico? lol

      On a serious note, that low torque high volt setup may be the only way to get the high mph's, I dunno. my 1500 on 5s would flip the other day going 25mph even with the cells forward. my same boat with a 3300kv leo did 39 on a stock prop and 4s with no indication of blow over - too bad that motor doesn't like 4s. fun fun fun.

              Yes, edf's with a mixer. works pretty well, but could use esc's with reverse.

                  It would be more fun to play with a Lambo while driving down the road, no?

                        It's not that strong..I had blow over at 56 or so and split it open and sank..it runs great for what it is.

                            Sure the car is super fun to drive.. Thing is this was not a store bought twin turbo kit..I did all the efi setup and tuning witch is fun to me.. I am now getting ready to pull the motor to build it to handle more hp..in case you haven't noticed I love toys and pushing them to the edge.

                              "witch is fun to me"

                              Too bad you didn't push your education to the edge. LOL

                              If you in fact do own a lambo and you are not just a floor sweeper in the garage where the lambo is parked (far more likely), a certain quote from an american classic movie comes to mind:

                              American Graffiti, "Toad" is driving a mint 58 chevy that belonged to the Ron Howard character in the movie. "Toad" is cruising down a street in the 58, car pulls up next to him, two guys he knows are in the car and say "Toad... is that you in that beautiful car???? What a waste of machinery....."

                              vio con dios, cabron
