Lehner motor, 288kph - 179mph on first pass
I understand the boat has since achieved 185.393 mph in one direction.

That's nothing, my SV-27 goes that fast.

I always thought the SV-27 was under rated.

Had to see video to believe! Hope we will eventually see set up pics up close. Congrats in order!

The rigger was running on 8s. Not bad.

Anyone have any other details on the setup?

They're obviously doing something or using special here.

It was that impressive to be there in person and watch it. Everything was calculated and triple checked before the boat was launched. Team JAG's waited till the water was near perfect and then pulled the trigger. What was most impressive was the acceleration. When it hooked up it looked like the speed instantly doubled.

Hats off to Joerg, Arne and Gunnar for pushing the limit right up to 300KPH. I have lots more pics, but need to sort and process them. Here is one shot of the boat with Arne and Gunnar before it was launched.

Tyler, were you there?

What do you think they did different than anyone else?

And also, what kind of hull is that? I was thinking to get an H&M Dr Super Evil rigger but maybe there's better options for SAW riggers.

[martin]

Tyler can you confirm or not that they used Gens Ace batteries, I had heard some where that's what they used. An out standing performance that must go down in history as one of the best achievements ever from a model boat.

The JAG's team designs and builds their own custom hulls, I saw some of them first in ~2000. In the past they used custom ESCs etc. It wasn't batteries which allowed this performance. It wasn't the motor. It was a systematic process taking many years of hard work and experience. Don't expect much useful, detailed info on the boat, setup, etc.

I have a Dr super Evil, it is definitely not a SAWs hull, it is designed for Naviga Hydro2 racing which is endurance racing with limited power (imagine P offshore on an oval course, but on 1p of battery) so it has a LOT of Aero lift to minimise the wetted area in the 55-60mph range, at 80 it would be a plane not a boat.
