RC ADVENTURES - 50" KiNG OF SHAVES - RC Race Boat - 7.4HP Gas Powered

[@GeneralLee131]

I can't believe how stable and responsive that thing is. It looks like its on rails.

[@wyatt5.355]

That’s what most catamarans are like

[@johnfairola8181]

Very cool

[@michaelchamberlain1688]

Because it's so heavy and slow.

[@afcomser]

This is one of my favorite boats, It doesn't just handle small ponds, but large lakes! I used to drive this boat behind our bigger boat, it could keep up with ease, I used to jump the wakes and larger crests. It handled beautifully!! Sadly now it just sits gathering dust. Thanks Medic for all your vids so I can still live vicariously through them.

[@haydenchamberlain168]

Do you still have it? I’d love to buy it?

[@marknickells6097]

The motor sounded like a 7.5 C.C , K&B . Have you considered going electric? THE boat, definitely has serious potential, as it it rock solid on the water. THE closest thing to this boat, is the Traxas, Spartan , on 8S ,and running in the low 70's. Our fast electric boat group, has two M41's and a couple of Sonic Wakes, and a Shreddy. ALL doing over 50-60+ . It's a different game, at that speed. I ran Class B . hydro's back in the 70's, But none of them ran out as nice, as your boat. I always hated messing with the Nitro stuff, and hard starting engines. THEN, the props were always goofy, depending on lake conditions. THE new FAST Electrics now , are more stable, and require less maintenance. Thx . for the video.

[@Spyke-lz2hl]

I’ve watched this video before, but I only realized now how good your camera work was. Really steady even when you zoomed way in to get the boat, then you zoomed out nice when it passed so you didn’t lose it. It’s a nice video!

[@pauliether.c.guy.3349]

I love the sound of that pipe. Call that catamaran a beast.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

7.4 HP out of such a small engine is incredible

[@crashalexander7232]

NITRO IS EVEN BETTER I GET 4.0 HP FROM 1.0 CI

[@CCxRC]

Magnificent machine! The sound you recorded was amazing - I can't even imagine how good it sounded at the pond.

[@jillsmcfarland2001]

We did this on the Great Salt Lake she took some waves, the Marine cop saw us and said hop in we'll go get her.Cool !

[@SHAYEN-cd5qw]

Yep that was cool, it stuck to the water and sat nice the sound of it echoing across your pond was awesome !

[@kylexu3621]

2016 calls for a new intro

[@TheRealRCSparks]

+Kyle Xu None of the videos in 2016 has had an intro. You are falling behind.. ;)

[@kylexu3621]

im new im trying to watch all ur old videos!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Kyle Xu Welcome :) I hope you have a great time discovering some fun RC's!

[@kylexu3621]

i am also thinking of getting a rc car wha t should i get thats cheap and good

[@InsaneKahuna]

jas

[@Hustlehard-iu6ph]

That’s a masterpiece of crathmenship

[@VincenzaV1]

Best RC action camera man EVER!!!! Seriously, do this for a living!

[@ChaosFragrances]

He does.

[@cooperDG123]

Very impressive but no way I hell is that producing 7hp. Where are people getting these nUmbers?

[@Fluterra]

Aussie Jules Wiener ah, no, 6-7 hp is correct. Zenoah 26cc

[@tontobb8956]

Elijah Hayes lotto numbers lol

[@Irespecktyouall]

@@Fluterra 90cc is approximately 3hp

[@tracywelling9230]

Omg it's even water cooled like a real boat!

[@stoneenforcer]

never seen a 7.4hp Zenoah go so slow.

[@antrigen1480]

+stoneenforcer Glad to see that I wasn't the only one thinking that it was slow.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

+stoneenforcer I have never seen a 7.4 hp Zenoah RC engine, and I own a dyno (which I calibrated) and build them for a living. A 7.4 hp Zenoah RC engine (running on gas)---does not exist.

[@Floatsfast]

+EarthSurferUSA Hey Doug! That Rev-Unlimited probably isn't putting out anywhere near 7.4 HP. Bruce Lykins can do some nice work but that's stretching the truth a tad. My son took a KOS out for a drive when a guy from Battle Creek came over to run with us one day and said that it's the worst boat he's ever driven. My son must have been around 25 or 26 at the time so it's not like he was a little kid and he's been running boats before he was 12. Look at the exhaust system. It's too long to do any good for a tuned pipe. I've got a Rev-Unlimited in my Stryker F-41 that was modded by Mike Ross at Suicidal and it runs very well. Yes, you can get 7 HP Dyno'ed out of a Zenoah.

[@ogmark3238]

stoneenforcer it hasnt broken in yet

[@backcountrybluegrass4770]

Yea lots of noise and lots of money but no get up and go.thats to bad.cool boat.

[@joaovianna7321]

Professionally videoed...

[@drakejdf]

gorgeous.now i need to get another boat.

[@randomguylol-bg8yc]

After seeing this video it inspired me to put my king of shaves out on the water for the 1st time in let's say around 3 years

[@mikeschleh7921]

Will you sell yours?

[@matthewnobles7533]

nice boat. but there's no fun in just buying a boat and running it to me with out build them from scratch like I do. you will appreciate the workmanship and time that you put into that boat building it. you just appreciate it a lot more.

[@Chris-ux3cw]

Dude, Not Everyone has the time or abilities to build their own. But there are many quality builders to suit various budgets. Get out and Enjoy the RC Hobby Folks. #HMU if looking for help in the hobby.

[@seaskimmer]

Pull start on that baby !!! get a roto start on that thing pronto !

[@tractorboy1396]

that boat is a beast

[@TinkerManRC]

Very Cool Tim

[@bmquading5526]

Nice I think I might of got this but in the brushless version!

[@evtek3962]

That thing is awesome. Makes me miss my big boat.

[@larful]

Sick thumbnail pic looks like a real boat !

[@Howtech55]

Perfect water for that cat.

[@alfamonk]

needs a V8

[@Ozziepeck11]

+alfamonk really?

[@bodasafahaualii5264]

+ triple blowers just like the Big Boys

[@Ozziepeck11]

a v8 would sink the boat...

[@jonathanromero996]

+Ozzie Peck no shit pal

[@ChaosFragrances]

I bet you're fun at parties.

[@RcNickster709]

Woah... That thing is a monster...Cool Vid thanks

[@RCJohnny]

that boat is so sick !!

[@MoosemanR]

Beautiful!

[@RCCrawlerz209]

That thing is a beast!!

[@GeneralHobbies]

looks amazing on the water.

[@tripod1229]

I have one of these boats. Bought one when they came out . love it a lot and it still thumping along on the stock engine.

[@breker19er]

I can't believe how flat that things turns!!

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

breker19er Well the water is calm

[@tdaddy8070]

Hey Ik you prob won’t see this but I need advice regarding the boat cause I might buy a brand new one for 800$ with gas and a stand? How much were they new before they stopped selling and is that a good deal?

[@JaydenSiegle]

Nice run

[@chrisvdsvuurwerkjunky1971]

the real stuff!!!

[@rcmodeltest390]

Awesome boat !... damn that thing is fast

[@Speedster404]

Waiting for an alligator just come up and eat it lol

[@GraftedYourLungs]

Remember you guys he said it’s not been ran for over a year and it’s not properly been worn in yet

[@tigertonysmith9302]

Needs clutch plus electric start fitting makes life a lot easy to operate.but great run matey well driven

[@bubba_tc]

Makes me need to get my Revo up and going again.

[@DutchRC]

Now that is a BOAT! :D Very impressive! Amazing how much the boat slows down at throttle-off by the way.. And now.. The pond is to small ;) Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@rajgill7576]

It needs an expansion chamber exhaust with a tune asap!! Slowest zenoah ever they use these things on Go-Peds and go 35mph

[@waltwalt9632]

It did have one, just needs a better one, one tuned for that engine

[@ipullstuffapart]

Such a beautiful piece of kit - looks a little front heavy though, doesn't seem to want to plane correctly

[@miken2213]

man look how good it waves

[@travisdow8516]

Nice boat

[@jeffreychevalier7966]

Cool boat

[@FelixKoll]

Awesome boat

[@tristanwait4itlegendary]

nice commentary sounds very pro

[@GazCle]

Boat's a beast Great soundtrack water looked quite flat too ;O)

[@Hydrogentruckster]

have you done a side by side lipo test ? curious to see the numbers nice video

[@MMM-2t]

Cool boat, bro!

[@getwrecked483]

You guys should make some weighted buoys and do some laps!! That would be awesome to see these boats on a water course!! A+ vids nice work.

[@Jqkzy]

Sounds like a 2stroke snow mobile lol

[@MegaControltv]

Hermosa lancha RC !

[@keithrobinson4402]

I luv fast boats

[@Rc4x4trucks]

man awesome boat!

[@MyPuppers]

that is one awesome cat ! great vid medic !

[@mazpr2025]

For those who will say electric is much faster, only for the first 4 minutes which is the average time a electric 3S 6500mah x 2 batteries will last (more than $100.00 per pair of batteries for 5 min. of fun). Gas, 1 gallon of fuel $2.20 or so, synthetic oil) Not everything is speed, for those of you electric speed freaks, the sound, realism, runtime, win win.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Dude.. 3s Lipo packs that can put out minimum 25c discharge will cost folks at LEAST $100. Some bats are way more expensive. You need a solid 50-80 discharge rate for anything this big.. and run at LEAST a 12s for this size. That means they are spending at least $600 on batteries, $600 on an ESC, a Whole Electric motor setup (another $500) - and then they get to play for 10 minutes at most. So.. all in all, Im thankful someone like you came by to be realistic with the folks that say "electric is faster". Because this boat would spin circles around theirs after 5 minutes, like you say .. and it would do it for an hour..

[@johnm8699]

mazpr2025 all arguments are great, except sound and realism. A real boat of that class sounds badass, that sounds whiney and obnoxious. And a real boat can't handle like that

[@jessicareed3713]

beast

[@mazpr2025]

LOL, tell us something we don't know, daaaah! OMG, you are one of those who walks into a hobby shop and states that same comment, what a troll. Of course its not the same, but its as close as it gets. You can't judge the sound as it is never the same on video, the same goes for nitro and even electric. Go play with your red ball, no need to use batteries, fyi, so don't worry about the environment.

[@paulkazjack]

You are totally wrong matey boy! You not heard that lipo battery are rechargable!

[@tedappleton9206]

I just acquired the same boat but it's a different color could you give me any info on the maker?

[@FSEVENMAN]

that's a really Kick-Ass boat and the engine kicks ass too but I find it really hard to believe that it has seven and a half horsepower come on

[@ZAKRC]

Nice boat!

[@nickharwell9909]

so rad. thumbs up

[@jaf9210]

They r awesome

[@Powershotknecht]

cool!

[@RCCrawlerWorkbench]

Very nice.

[@trout7454]

I love that boat! Great sound and great video

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I hate to bust a bubble here, but that is the smaller bore (34mm) Zenoah G260 PUM engine (ported by Gizmo motors), and the top power we see from those is about 5.5 to 6hp. The larger 36mm PUM engines, well modified, can make close to 7hp though,---with a Quick Draw hot pipe (the pipe I use for marine engine testing). I am pretty tried of my engine building competition (some of them, not all) using inflated HP numbers for sales, when they don't beat us at the track. We have had 6.75 hp engines set oval track records, and if anybody has a Zen based RC engine that claims to make more than 7hp,---lets run it on my "calibrated" dyno, and see if it is true. To the best of my knowledge, Gizmo (who had the same dyno unite I own, a land and sea water brake unite, but set up differently), never got his dyno running. From the pics I saw, with a 3:1 reduction ration and no clutch, he probably could not get the engine started, because I had a real hard time staring a 29,5cc engine with no clutch on my dyno with a 4:1 reduction ratio. I had to make a special clutch (pivot arms made of heavy steel) to make it work. By the way, for comparison with a dyno I do trust, the Quick Draw engines of the same size only makes 7.2hp, and that cylinder porting configuration (they make their own cylinders, and they are the best in the industry) is way more modern/advanced than any Zenoah cylinder (port configurations from the 60's). If you have a Zenoah RC engine that the builder claimed makes more than 7 hp, you are not buying into honesty. (sans knowing your set up),My 36mm builds will almost lift that hull out of the water when you hammer the gas, and they make 6.75hp @ 16,000 rpm with the QD hot pipe on my calibrated dyno.

[@tomstclair961]

Its stuck to the water like velcro.. trim off some of the rudder and tilt it back a little. It will pick up nose and unstick it..

[@Floridos]

Twice the power of my scooter 😂

[@miguelsalami]

And Twice the Power of a Hoveround🤑

[@imyourdad934]

My uncle has 2002 model IDK if it will compete with new ones

[@2cwik4u104]

that is nice.

[@danztastic]

Sounds like a tennis commentator

[@danielcross600]

So what happens if it gets stuck in the middle of the lake? How do you retrieve it? Never owned a boat so that's why I'm asking

[@AgentCows]

You get a cheap "rescue boat" so pretty much you buy another cheap boat that can rescue your old/good one.

[@dev1195]

Good one bro.keep it up.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

impressive

[@desijahid-gamers9256]

nice video

[@matthewlalonde2241]

He thinks a 50" boat is huge, that's cute.

[@Jjonathanhart]

I would find it more exciting operating that boat in off the coast line at the ocean.

[@BareERaws]

Ever consider mounting a camera on the vehicles that you control?

[@sayalibhavsar2135]

Good speed
