What is the fastest electric RC boat on the market?

Most everyone will imply that you mean RTR, correct? Of rtr's, brushless electrics will be the fastest also the most expensive. Some of the more popular ones are ProBoat's BlackJack 26 brushless, fastech brushless, their brushless elam, and their new brushless boat. Aquacraft is also another very popular brand name. Their sv27 and UL-1 brushless boats are very fast. Aeromarine puts out a few high priced models and minicat racing has some models that are extremely fast. When looking for the "fastest" there are several factors to consider. Hull type, battery type, motor, speed controller, prop, and water conditions. For example, a hydro hull will be faster than a v-hull but you better be on very calm water with a hydro or it go airborne; where as the v-hull will be able to handle rough water the best. Also a v-hull will cleave the water and turn sharper that a flat hull will which will slide in turns unless a turn fin is added. For power Lithium Polymer aka LiPo are lighter and put out more current to weight than Nickel Metal Hydride aka NiMH's do and last much longer, however they are also more expensive. The advantages of NiMH are that each cell is at 1.2volts at charge while LiPo cells are usually at 3.7v per cell. For instance a 6 cell NiMH standard pack is 7.2v while a 2 cell LiPo is 7.4v. The advantage comes into play when choosing power setups. For example, Lets use the SV27. If we have 2 sv27's one with 2 7.2v NiMH packs and one with 2 7.4v LiPo's the LiPo boat will go at least 5-7mph faster than the SV27 with the NiMH's. But add a cell to each of the NiMH packs making them 8.4v each and the LiPo SV27 will no longer be the fastest. If you were to do the same thing to the LiPo's by adding a cell, now each LiPo pack is 11.1v combined for 22.2v!!! The SV27's motor and speed controller will fry. If you like building then you can get your custom boat to go as fast as the hull can handle. The current world record is a rigger hull at 146.7mph!!! I'm currently building a 40inch V-hull with a large Brushless electric set up. The motor is a 12 turn 45mmX77mm Brushless watercooled motor with a 120amp water cooled speed controller or ESC. I'll power it with a 8s LiPo (2 14.8v 5000mAh 35c 4s1p LiPo's in series) for a total of 29.6volts!!! I'll be using an Octura x452 prop. I'm expecting over 70mph!!! I also have a ProBoat BJ 26 BL I'm running 2 7.4v 4000mAh 25c 2s1p LiPo's. My BJ goes about 45mph with the LiPo's. I've also modded an old Cen Baja that came with a 550 brushed motor. I added a 775 brushed motor with a Navy 60amp brushed ESC. This boat moves at about 35 to 40mph with 36mm 2-blade prop I added to it using a 14.8v 3000mAh 35c 4s1p LiPo pack. In conclusion, if you are looking for the all in all fastest mass production Brushless r/c boat I'd guess it would probaby be the New Aquacraft UL-1 as it is a hydro hull running on 2 2s1p 7.4v 25c-30c burst 45c-50c 3300mAh - 5000+mAh LiPos. I heard about 47mph!!! I don't own one YET so I can't say for sure.

How can the esky flight simulator be installed on windows xp when it won't start automaticly?

Put the CD in the CD drive. Go to "my computer" open the drive that has the CD in it. Click on FMS Set up. Follow the on screen instructions. The simulator is a pretty good one you will enjoy it.

Are all nitro RC engines waterproof?

No they are not. They can get ruined by water just like a normal car engine can.

What upgrades are there to make a RC engine go faster?

Electric powered, there isn't much, but if you have a gas powered one, there are a lot of things including better fuel, a lighter body or a whole new engine. Here are more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers: * Use the upper limit of the ignition plug as the engine spec can use. Adjust the carburetor to it's leanest setting without stalling the car or breaking the connecting rod. Best way to do this is with an infra-red heat reader. Take note of engine temperature after every run,and adjust the carbs to lean side one increment at a time. Of course you have to consider the outside air temperature and humidity. Remember in racing the saying is, "To finish first, first you must finish." good luck.. == Many years ago, I met a man who worked on gas engines by re-boring the cylinders just like you do with a hot rod car. I don't know what is involved with this or there is anyone that does this for a fee. Something you could check into. ANSWER you actually can add a nitous oxcide system to nitro engines now.

What would be the best material for building a chassis for a homemade RC car?

Fiberglass is a cheap way to do it. If money is not a problem, then "composite materials" is the best due to it's lightness..

What does a nitro RC car run on?

If you mean an engine that runs on Nitromethane I think they are no different than the normal RC engine. the engines and the fuel can be purchased at most hobby shops.

How do you make glow fuel for RC cars?

Saying things like this: "You can't make your own glow fuel because it is dangerous and unreliable for the RC car." is a lazy answer.

Firstly - while it is dangerous, its no more so than the chemicals you have under your kitchen sink.

Secondly - Once you get to know the nitro engine you're using, its far MORE reliable to mix your own stuff than to rely on the often poor quality control, and pre-packaged nitro percentages that takes place with hobby shop shelf fuels.

Please note - the initial outlay of expense is high, because pure nitro is NOT cheap, and you'll spend as much on shipping (its a hazmat) as you will on the product itself, if you're not close to a depot for it.

with that said - i make my own in 2-5 gallon batches, and the cost breakdown is approximately 10.00 per gallon. Hobby shelf stuff is 12-15.00 per QUART. A single gallon of nitro will create up to 5 gallons of "glow fuel" - when ordering nitro you can get it in many sizes, including by the gallon. Its more cost effective, the more you buy, but don't make a ton of mix.... if you don't get around to using all of it for a year, the mix will have absorbed water by then and will not be good.

The main ingredients are:

- Methanol - this makes up 65-75% of the mix, so you'll need the appropriate amount.

- Nitromethane - this makes up 15-25% of the mix - or more if you're into RC planes, and such which require a "hotter" fuel.

- Castor oil - nitro RC engines are two stroke, and thus need the oil to be mixed in with the fuel. There is no separate oiling system - it relies on the fuel for lubrication.

Keep in mind that the ratios are just that... go for a higher nitromethane formula, and you have a lower percentage of methanol and castor oil in a given volume.

Do Nitro RC cars reverse?

yes it does,

Not all of them do and some that do have very weak reverse. I run MGT trucks an they have reverse

How do you make an elastic powered propeller?

The way you make an elastic powered propeller is to wine a propeller to a twisted elastic, let go and enjoy!

Should I buy an Art Attack RC snowmobile or should i pass and get something different?
