Possibly the fastest revolt in the world

This boat covered two buoys 131 apart in .9 second

Sorry, that time and distance are right at 100 mph. The fastest FE mono in the world has a top speed around 110 mph on 10S. That’s not 100 mph. Time is wrong.

I didn’t think so either. Looked about 60 to me....

Video title is a joke...I hope it was meant as that.

This boat is doing more than double the speed of a stock traxxas spartan on 6s.

I ran an impulse 31 version 2 on 5s with an octura m545, 6mm bullets upgrade esc, the impulse hit 47mph on GPS on the run at the same location. The impulse took 2 seconds through the same buoys.

I'm sorry but that definitely is not the fastest Revolt 30 in the world. Craig gave you more credit with 60mph. . .it looks more like 47-50mph. Check out other YouTube videos of Revolt 30's doing 60mph+ and you'll see the difference.. . .BIG DIFFERENCE.

It looks like a beautiful place to go boating.

No doubt the boat is capable of more, but with the quick blip shown in the video and it accelerating all the way through, I doubt it averaged over 50mph between the bouys.

I suspect the foreshortening perspective is giving you eronious results, the 2 buoys are in a line, but between a single viewpoint ie, the camera or yourself and the buoys forms a triangle, when running a boat between the buoys and the viewpoint you are running across the legs of the triangle which will not be as far apart as the bouys, the closer to the viewpoint the bouys are the worse the effect, and the further away from the bouys you run the worse the effect. you need 2 viewpoint to eliminate this effect as are used at SAWs, but zooming the camera in and placing the camera inland as far as is practical, then running once in front of the bouys then once behind the bouys and averaging the times will give you a much more realistic speed reading.

With the given info on Youtube it calculates to around 54 mph, which looks not to much off the speed in the video. That is no where near double the speed of a good Spartan set up correctly on 6s, if that is double the speed of a Spartan then who evers Spartan it was is def not running right.

Heres a Pursuit doing just 75mph http://youtu.be/P7KSjBjxSu8, I think it is running much faster than the Revolt is ever doing

Delete.

THIS is a 100 mph mono. See the difference?

At the beginning of 7 seconds into the video there is a buoy appearing small out to the left, then at the beginning of 8 seconds there is a buoy a little in front of the boat.

Walk on the road if you line up with the small buoy then proceed to walk forward and you line up with the large buoy in front of the boat at 8seconds into the video. The distance you would walk is 131 feet.

Certain camera view makes it appear a little faster than others but the boat is easily well over 100 feet per second.

Depending on what the video is viewed on it times at .9 seconds on a stop watch between the two points.

When I connect my phone to a computer and view the video on a big HD screen where the buoys appear larger.

I would start time slightly before the first buoy at stop when it reach the larger buoy and the stopwatch would show anywhere from .88 to 1.05 seconds.

So I am sure about the distance but view from a phone the make it harder to judge.

So the boat might not be doing a 100 mph I said that base on timing from the big screen computer monitor.

But I am sure it is doing well over 100 feet per second easily.

I also have a video save with my impulse running through the same area and the impulse took 1.88 seconds before it flipped and did not clear the complete distance between the two buoys.

The impulse hit 47mph on GPS, I was running 5s an m545 and the aquacraft 1800kv motor.

I also had clips other boats recording 45mph on GPS and took around 2seconds between the points.

And the same device I time those other boats with I timed my revolt with and time between .88 to 1.05 seconds.

So I am sure based on all these boats I had for comparison on video in the same location I know I can't be that far off.

And in that group had boats on 6s too.

You have a high 40/low 50 mph boat there...nothing wrong with that...but thats all.

In this above video at 2 seconds in to this video the little boat is at the bigger buoy in the revolt video, when the my impulse when air Bourne the buoy on the right at the 4 second mark is the first buoy in the revolt video to its left.

In this video the impulse did 47mph with a dynamite GPS, so you looking at approaching 2 seconds for a 47mph boat to cover buoy to buoy.

In the revolt video the revolt covered the same distance in slightly over 1second if you want judge hard that way faster than high 40's.

The revolt is atleast 1.6 times faster than the impulse which did 47mph. If you judging hard.
