I got a traxxas electric boat for my birthday. I'm really happy with it, and surprised at how realistic it is in the water. One day I would like to build a boat, just to see if I can do it and to see how long it takes to build.

I thought I saw a video once of an rc boat doing 100mph, is that even possible? Tune, I think I saw it at your house, was it moving that fast?

grim digger · (#8 (**permalink**))

towshen,with everything that i see with what happens to you i don't think it's a bad thing that you don't own,LOL,i have seen a few hit the 100 mph mark not to many ,mostly outrigger's will hit those high no#'s

at showmerc there is a video of a 120mph electric hydroplane.

I saw a vid once of one running 124 mph average. I'll see if I can find the vid again....

There are some really cool videos at:

BTW, I own a Traxxas Villain EX. The only upgrades I have done
so far are props and a better cooling system.
(yeah, i knew you would be impressed.) :p

I'm hoping to get more into boats next summer. Probably build
and finish a few hulls over the winter. Maybe. I can get pretty
lazy in the winter.
