Miss Geico Race Prep

[Darin Jordan]

65+mph Mystic on 2S.... >>>...........LOL.........

What is there to be confused about? The target was 70+. The previous N2 (NAMBA 2-CELL class, in case you weren't aware ) Offshore record was closer to 80. Yes... on 2S.

I can show you data graphs showing several test sessions with the very first Miss Geico release of 46-48mph CONSISTANTLY using the stock power system.

Speed isn't always about the equipment you've BOUGHT, but what you DO with that equipment. In the end, with everything else tuned to perfection, there is another 10%+ in prop work left to do...

Your being obtuse. ... did you actually watch that video? Did the boat look even close to blowing off? No extra weight required. The hull is too heavy as it is...

But you Darin have a Mystic in 2S and get 70mph ....WOW.....
Default Darin's Pro Boat Mystic "29 Minus-Two"
Power system for N2 Offshore was a Neu 1515 1.5D (2700KV). Initial testing was done with a 1512 1.5D (3200KV), but I had better speed with the 1515 @ 2700KV and a HUGE wheel... X452/3, with some work done. Average Amps were around 115...

You have issues, my friend. Another of the "if I can't do it it's not possible" kind of guys. Perfect.

I'll tell you what, you come to a race where I'm racing and I'll personally help you get your boat up to speed. You'll have to step outside your current box to make it happen, but if I can do it, any of you can.

As for the speeds of my boats... times are official, so I couldn't fudge them even if I want to.

Oh... and as for your "speed calculator"... nice baseline.... how much tuning and prop work has that program done?

[Darin Jordan]

Oh... and one more thing... I know you are super duper knowledgeable about this boat racing setup, but for N2, I wasn't using any of those motors you listed there... those are heat racing motors for offshore racing... but I'm sure you already considered that in your discussion. ..

Not sure to much was actually considered in his response...

I'll take you up on that at the Nats..

My mystic runs in the high 40s. Gps'd at 47 on glass. A little ripple is good for a couple mph. Since that run my prop was cupped some too so it's even faster now. Getting a geico to 50 isn't overly difficult by any means, even on the stock power system. I had a cheap hk 4074 in one and was running over 55.
