I watched the vids, very cool indeed. What speeds & how much run time? BTW- I thought FE's always came back, 3 dead boats in last heat? Looked like a nitro race............. :lol:

Yes, I'd like to know why only one boat finishes as well. How many motors, controllers abd batteries smoked?

Why did World Champion Brooks only run one heat?

Like the videos, cool!

thanks,

Steve

Nothin Smoked that I know of. A couple boats had water probs and could not figure out where it was comming from. Kelly did not Race, He sold his boat to Howard T. The boat was very quick in testing, running the big Plett and Lipos but was plauged by water probs so did not run Heat 2 and 3. Speeds probably low to mid 50's. Usaully the most common reason an electric dosn't finish a race is because it's upside down We ran Full lap mill and 5 laps on a course just shy of 1/6th. Could have run 6 and the full mill but thats really tough on the NiMH cells.

Brand New H&M Budweiser. Saw the boat. Craftsmanship is awsome.

My boat suffered severe water problems. Ken Killed something. (Batts I think gp3700's)

Kevins ran great and so did lous. I don't know why I can run my T Mono all day but I run the 1/8th and it seems so much more complex. Just have to get used to it I guess.
