Thats gonna be a pretty small track for such quick boats, you guys are gonna need some really good skills and quick reactions!
Youre right max, power is everything for turning these boats. In fact if you watch the full size jetsprint boats you'll see the fast guys keep the revs very constant for the whole run, and they dont slow down for any turns, just chuck it in. Thats good hull design!
Grael how did you measure the water velocity? You probably realise this, but jets work on velocity AND mass of water to propel the boat, so the hull would have to be ridiculously light to even get close to the velocity of the water going out the back, plus there is drag. Even if you get 20kph out of your setup, it'll still be a handful on your little track!
They are a LOT faster than scale. Mine does around 400kph scale speed
