Faster? Sounds cool, but from what I've seen in RCU and UNW the last 7 years is that some guys are barely holding on with the speeds we are going now. Some of that, of course, is because the boats don't handle very well. You could probaly put bigger nitro motors/props and go faster, but is that the point? To me it's about competition. Without some sort of regulation in any class as to engine c.i.d. or the electric motor and the number of batteries it comes down to cubic money instead of making the best of what the rules allow and driving skill. Most nitro boats running with a good tune are within a couple of miles an hour of each other. With a playing field that level it has come down to not how fast you can go, but rather how slow you can go to grab lane 1 and then accelerate like a rocket to keep it. At least around here you don't see that many boats being passed on the outside unless someone makes a mistake. This makes for some absolutly great racing though. Having a slightly slower boat on the inside than the overtaking boat really makes it come down to driving skill. I've had races that it has taken me 4 & 1/2 laps to get around somebody and conversly had to hold another boat off for several laps-now THAT is FUN!!
A boat that is 70-80 mph? We could really have some goods blow overs and wrecks then. I was happy to quit taking my rc stuff home in a bucket when I quit flying airplanes.
Jorge's boats are all one off riggers , not 1/8th scale unlimited's ......Zamn, now I sound like Rick
