Possibly the fastest revolt in the world

[Doby]

102 MPH Revolt...bone stock except for secret prop.

Nice one.

That's in the 30's probably. The stock revolt isn't that fast.

After getting feedback from you guys I went back to the site to get more details to refine my approach.

It was flawed I will admit because I was able to accurately gauge the starting point.

But after taking the approach of using one object on the outside (the small buoy) and a parallel object on the opposite side.

I am able to gauge the starting by a) getting a ruler, b) play and phase the video until the bow of the boat line up between outside object and inside object, c) you can varify when it line up by connecting outside object and inside object together and noting where the bow meet the ruler connecting the two objects, d) leave video phased remove ruler and note the position of the boat, e) rewind the video and play it without stopping it, when the boat reach the noted point start timing and f) stop the timer at the finish line and that it you have your time.

Divide the distance by the time two get your average speed in feet per seconds.

Convert the feet per seconds to mph.

This is my refined method.

Here is a revolt doing 64mph http://youtu.be/QOwFz69boHM, this is faster than your boat. Here is one doing 55mph https://youtu.be/tHHLPICc0xs which looks to be around the speed of your Revolt.

Nice one.

That's in the 30's probably. The stock revolt isn't that fast.

FYI..stock motor and m445 prop equals 48 mph on 4S.

I think the OP is using a very error prone method. If you want to do distance/time, you need electronic triggered gates, and you need to measure the distance accurately. Since the Op is just looking for speed, I can’t understand the resistance to a GPS, which works very good for the rest of us. This is a very round about way to make a claim. But the analyticals are way off and the Speed Calculator is showing that. So I’m just not sure what you’re expecting from us... I think you should just enjoy your boat and improve your reporting methods, or not report at all.

[Doby]

Holy crap!!!

I actually agree with Craig

[CraigP]

Hope for the hopeless, eh?

[Doby]

possibly.

I just wanted to share this, the leopard 4092 is a monster, I running the 1730 kV 4092 and using the m545 octura I am getting an extra 19mph on GPS faster than what the aquacraft 1800 does with the m545 on 4s.

That is using 5s on the 1730kv 4092.

You guys should be able to get high 50's on 4s with this motor.

And high 60's to 70 or above 70 on 5s easily in the revolt.

Nice one.

That's in the 30's probably. The stock revolt isn't that fast.

Actually the stock Revolt is much faster than the 30's as you stated. After tuning my stock Revolt, I got easily 40mph+. On post #31. Doby's vidoe on that Revolt is certainly more than 30mph. . .more like 40mph or so

[Speed3]

You probably aware that a m545 will add a lot more speed over the stock 4255, The 1730kv 4092 can a maybe another 9 to 10 mph on 4s and then the jump to 5s is like another 10 to 12mph.

65mph. I know that speed seems a lot for my setup. But I did some stuff to get extra power out of the motor....I am able to run 15 degrees timing on my d wind 4092 and still have the wires, connectors, motor and ESC at 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature like it don't change the only thing that gets hot is the ESC capacitors....The power I am getting you will not get normally. I am accomplish the same thing with the 2080 kV 4092...above 70 on 5S easily in the revolt...the power I am getting you will not normally get...

There is no point in continuing this thread, the OP doesn’t want to listen to anyone, just argue. He clearly uses the force to attain the speeds he claims - wait, is it 100 mph or 75 mph or 68 mph or 65 mph? But it is easy to get over 70 on 5S? Sadly it’s been over two weeks and we still have no GPS reading even though he’s been back to the pond at least once. His setup should be good for around mid-50s, not shabby.

D-wind Motors make no additional power with timing advance over 0-4 degrees, just more heat. Or so says Steve Neu, motor designer.

Cool wires and connectors are an indication of low amp draw, meaning less power produced. Less power, less speed...

The power he is getting we will not normally get. Guess we need to listen, this one is strong with the force.

I’m done. Another one for the ignore list.

Where I live I think my boat losing a lot of speed compare to you guys, I was getting low 30's on GPS with the aquacraft 1800 and the octura m545 on 4s.

And that after upgrading to 6mm bullets.

I am getting 54mph on GPS with the 4092 1730kv on 5s. The GPS is lagging by a few mph I learn about the lag comparing to vehicle speedometer.

So I am getting another 20mph plus faster on GPS versus the aquacraft 1800 and m545 on 4s.

Since improving on my motor to ESC connection the temperatures has drop from melting solder off connectors to room temperature on the wires at 15 degrees timing.

And the speed has increase by a lot.

I decided to share this because I think it might help someone.
