My friend Aaron Alberico recently tried his hand and straight away trials in the US. Using an own modified 09 Picco 45 he ran the fastest engine powered (ie not electric) RC boat straight away pass ever, here is the video:

I took several readings with my acoustical tachometer from the computer speakers. 33, 450 to 34,000 is what I read.

Have to laugh, I posted the video over on Jims to share with those guys.

Someone questioned wether it wasnt in KPH since your from Oz :blink: :blink: -LMAO :lol: :lol:

1.618 is 1.618 no matter where the heck you are-

How close did you come on the back pass ?

or was it ugly ?

Either way- OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Aaron!! when did you pull the pin on that Picco

 

[aaron alberico]

45 hydro--

Well what can i say, this thing was crazy fast, went through the traps at 1.618sec(139mph) and on the back up pass i hurt the motor, and it was hunting through the traps and still went through at 2.1sec, I had an average well over the record, but i declined the record as i wanted to do it again,

as i new there would be alot of doubt of this speed, but when you have guys like John Finch, steve Sutton, Kentley, Don etc say they have never seen a boat go so fast in all there years of SAW trials.

you know you got something special...

John Finch's audio tacho read the rpm's at 33000rpm's+ on my picco 45 and with the L.P on the prop it was more then enough to go that fast. On Sunday afternoon i ran the boat again but the motor was to hurt to make any serious power, so will wait until next time.

Regards,

Aaron
