Hor sss motors vs TP Power

[twissted]

Thanks for your reply. I do know what you mean.
I'm sometimes wrong. I post that with the things that go well. Sugar coating my builds is fun, but showing the problems is what people enjoy the most.
I know I do.

Soooooo innovative!! baterries behind the motors in a twin cat! With NO room to adjust for CG. Your boat has major problems in that vid. Its struggling to hit even 40 mph.

Hey no problem with opinions, mine is different from yours and interpretations also. That is why I like to see numbers from reliable testing. If I were to see someone put up empirical numbers then I would have something to help my decision on purchase or application. But I just can't go with I think they outperform others. Not taking your opinion away but just giving mine. And I'm into boats so I could really care less about cars or zevos. And I'm sure you already know boat applications are harder on electronics.

Hey I'm new to the boats as you all know. I dare any of you to find some one that has done more to a cat hull that sets it apart from the drones that cover these post. I install the wrong drive shaft and look what you have to say. I learn from my many builds and I'm not afraid to show them. Same would go with any testing. You guys would hide that fact so that that you can stay on the pedestal that you like so much.

Your post really inspired me twisted. It does take guts to post your failures. Any on us can sit here and hand pick only our best runs, and just show those to everyone to make ourselves look good. You on the other hand, are man enough to post your vids and pics, no matter the outcome. We could all learn a lot from you...

In the spirit of your honesty, I decided that I will also post a not-so-impressive video of mine, the maiden run and small crash with my HPR 135. This is a boat that I started building a little while after you started yours. While it doesn't have the monster 98mm long SSS motors that your boat has, I still intended on building it for speed. However, in this video it was the HPR's first time in the water, with small props and a drive angle that I was just guessing on, so of course it was not the best performance. I also turned it too hard and flipped it, just like you did to your boat in your first run video. Fortunately I put left and right flexes in it, so I didn't have any parts failures. After watching my vid and your vid, I'm sure you will see that we are not so different after all.

I am posting this and showing a video that I typically would never post, because I think that it's only fair that we all show our failures, as you said. All I ask in return is this: Now that you've shown your failures, post all of your impressive boat videos! I think you deserve it, since you have been so noble in showing all of your failures up to this point.

Nice run.

I'll assume there's a bit of sarcasm on your part Keith....

This is an open forum. Some post information backed up by actual on-the-water trials (and errors), others just post to bathe in the attention their ramblings generate and strive for validation. It's OK with me. Some are just better equipped than others to disseminate information of value. Let's not judge.Most of us have nonsense filters, mine has an ignore feature as well.

Try it, you'll like it !
