I was at the console when Don set that record. It was pretty cool seeing a Scale running that fast.MODEL BOAT RACER

Interesting...if you go to the home page...
The official website for R/C Unlimiteds, the largest scale radio controlled hydroplane club in the world. Based in the state of Washington.
They have a nice vid of a race where on the first lap, there is a collision...and several laps in there is another..etc
I suppose the "gentleman's" class rules don't seem to apply (no matter how expensive the boats are)...everyone wants to win and will race as such.Grand River Marine Modellers

Doug
I was thinking more along this line.

I do not know what the msrp is though.
I think these cells are way better, I have beat on mine a little and show no drop in power or run time.
