RE: New RCAA Top Speed Record 12/8/07
Sweet video, I love the acceleration in the turns. Glad to see an airboat going that kind of speed too.
All I'm wondering is, why not put a .75 on it and see what happens? More than likely another speed record, one flying by 50mph for sure. Not sure what engine was used, but if weight is the issue behind not using a bigger motor, just a tip, the Tower engines are the lightest I've come by while searching.

What did you do to coax a little more out of it ? Have you tried higher nitro fuel ?
Not to mention, he must be staying in the throttle a bit more. In his latest record video, you can see that he's not holding WOT for long at all. Another contributor is that he's getting acquainted with the boat.
He is running 10% in his engine. Thats what he prefers for his motors.

Looks like we are going to have some windy conditions tomorrow, 15 mph winds by noon time. More than likely no running tomorrow.
