1/6 scale turbine Jetcat hydroplane

Jetcat turbine hydroplane

[@arnoldchildress8053]

Man that's got to be one of the finest RC boats I've ever seen

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

That might be the single greatest rc boat ever!

[@junoypi]

Without a doubt, the best rc boat ever I’ve seen. This is the ultimate.

[@aerospacematt9147]

Wow, powered by a turbine just like the full scale! That’s pretty awesome!

[@ThePocketMedic]

Contender for the coolest RC vehicle ever.

[@1970jaimee]

Without a doubt the most beautiful RC hydro; wow!

[@DeadChan67]

Thing almost looks like it floats on the water. Built really well, a very stable little RC model that seems to be

[@zeeek1]

Imagine 4 or 6 of these in a heat? Holy crap that would be fun to watch.

[@ThomasDoubting5]

That genuinely rapid by any standard of water craft. Sounds and looks awesome.

[@ginopunsalan]

That boat is wicked. From the turbine sound and rooster tail. Nice!

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

I have now had it up to 127mph on a 1/6 mile oval course

[@xswijnji]

+Ghost Pepper Design is this Mr. Todd Fleury? Just curious, as I remember you/him discussing their turbine hydro on OSE, and I figured that this must indeed be the boat and thus the owner. I didnt realize the SPM5 can be tuned like that, it always seemed like from the overseas vids ive watched that they all seem to list their top speeds at around 80mph. Thats amazing! Also, I was curious what this hull is made of or manufactured by? I know you are fond of ML and have had some work done with Mike, but with this boat I was moreso curious in that I noticed the cockpit is permanently attached to the hull unlike all the wooden builds ive seen, and I had been wondering where you got your cowling too. Lastly, do you think you could recommend an electric motor that would be suitable for a 1/6 scale like this? I have a 1/6 scale hull being produced for me overseas currently and im planning to run a TP Power 5850/5670 to start out with, and I would like to stray from the expensive Lehner motors if possible.

[@kennyhuskisson2684]

Ghost Pepper Design OMG, that is just something to see!, awesome boat & job!

[@RandomAndrew]

Wow I love this... I wouldnt even know where to start when building this but I know I need to have one!

[@michaelhrivnak1719]

You start by getting a second mortgage on your house!

[@matthaug3104]

A whole nother level awesome

[@richardkautz2947]

[@dawnthe5031]

I give it thumbs up for the speed and the flames

[@johnhopen]

Camera man got me sea sick, but that is really cool!! Nicely done!

[@kiplindsay8413]

Nice. Would love to see it on a larger body of water, for no other reason than to just watch the beauty of it on a plane

[@johnrobinson1140]

Oh sweet Jesus! 😳

Fantastic!

[@frankjrouseau8563]

Holy shit how fast does that unit go ?

[@alexmarshall4331]

Impressive...almost decks awash til the power comes on👉💣👉⚡⚡

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Geoffrey, I am running an x457/3 sharpened, balanced and detounged 90 degrees from the hub. But that is just my setup. You will have to find what works for you depending on your sea level height etc.

[@TheRicsta]

Id would love to see the construction is it shaft or thrust drive

[@heraldoboldrin]

Todd, where i can buy this Hull? i am looking a big hydroplane to use a lehner engine..

[@frisk151]

Which turbine are you running in it? Wren? Not a traditional rear exhaust... Nice work! I love how you are ripping the turns!

[@crazywaderacing4659]

[@dondidykes6664]

[@04swiftstang]

that thing is a pure beauty man....i love my bj29 v3, but turbine powered is on another level.

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Thank you. I am now selling this item.

[@natelevi779]

Ghost Pepper Designs how much?

[@roderickrayrutledge2740]

Damn that's pretty! 👍

[@dopplerfox]

Who designed this? The stability of it is just incredible.

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

It was hand built by Peter Mueller. The hull was built by a friend of his in Germany. Unfortunately, it was the last boat Peter built before he disappeared.

[@scottbuck9348]

Disappeared? That doesn’t sound good. Man I wish someone would find him cause he could make some serious cash if he built and or sold the plans! I have all electric and nitro rc boats but I’m seriously considering getting into the turbine side!

[@jacobellw]

Hi there great video! What engine is in this please? Thank you!

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Jetcat SMP5 with the MHZ gearbox.

[@inventions47]

Love it 😀 bet ya nabours love ya 😆

[@scottbuck9348]

I know this was posted many years ago but is this beautiful machine up for sale! I’m a serious buyer and want more info if you would consider selling it! Thanks

[@bigwaveohs1]

Hey Todd - This is awesome...too bad you're not still running at Campbell...LOL! If you have any build info, photos & etc. could you send it through Jim's email? I've always wanted to build one of these bad boys. Pete from the Campbell pond

[@dshow1658]

Holly shit !!!

[@yoadrian2705]

I want one!

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Bigwaveohs, Little fast to be running at Campbell or Fremont. I will for sure pass some info on through Jim.

[@ronh1501]

😳👍👍👍👍

[@homienat3374]

🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙yes want 1

[@jamessutherland762]

How is the turbine mated to the prop?

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Gearbox built by MHZ

[@miltechmoto]

What happens if the turbine goes in the water? Would it hyrdolock?

[@chuckels431]

Had a turbine on a float plane dunk on takeoff wide open.. it tried to suck the water in so fast it pulled the compressor blades out the front.

[@UrbanAssaultJeep]

Where can I buy the hull kit or plans to build it? Does it cost $12-15k to build yourself or is that to buy from someone

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Brandon Hanover the hull is custom built out of Germany. There really is no kit to build one. It will cost you 15k just to build one.

[@UrbanAssaultJeep]

Ghost Pepper Design who can I contact to have one built

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Brandon Hanover I am not sure who builds them anymore. Peter Mueller who built my boat fell off the face of the earth. I have put my boat up for sale.

[@UrbanAssaultJeep]

Ghost Pepper Design how much and are pics posted anywhere?

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Brandon Hanover I am selling for 10k. All you need to add is rx/rx. I have pictures of the boat on Facebook - Todd Fleury

[@LCMNUNES1962]

👍👍👍 🇧🇷

[@claudecousineau5811]

Great boat, maybe propeller too close to transom, if boat wants to overturn, and skid fin a tidbit too deep in the water two mods that doesn’t take much work and worth the try otherwise 👍

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Appreciate the feedback. But the strut and turn fin are exactly where they need to be in order to have this boat run at these speeds.

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Heraldo, you can't purchase this hull. It was a custom hull. Look at what www.mlboatworksrc.com has to offer for a 1/6th scale.

[@ricardorosales168]

Gracias por la información. Tanks for the information this is going to be my new boat. Saludos from New York.✌🍎🗽

[@marthenamibrahim8880]

Next time dont zoom camera....

白鳥🦢？生きてるの？ 逃げないの？

[@diytypeofguy6502]

I thought u had to connect all kinds of crap to turbines to start them up? kerosene etc

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

Nope, this has remote start. The turbine starts up by using a lipo battery and a small motor

[@diytypeofguy6502]

Ghost Pepper Design cool ..that makes it more desirable

[@PAKiller1]

Why do RC hydroplanes always run clockwise, when the real ones always run counter clockwise??

[@highatruthart]

Turn fin is usually on the starboard side, & clockwise is just the direction they race.

[@PAKiller1]

@@highatruthart thank you, always wanted to know that

[@chuckels431]

It more has to do with the prop rotation , don’t know about full scale but rc models all have engines / props that rotate left hand looking at the rear., most don’t like to make left turns they have a bad hopping tendency.

[@hotdog8214]

What are you scared about😂.. it's in the water..scared is when you maiden a 15k model jet .. Talk about pucker factor

[@GhostPepperDesigns]

[@ernestdyer9401]

Can you buy one of those things?

[@tyronerai9865]

Wtf
