The electric is purposely slowing down to be side by side with the gas. But when it's full throttle it's way ahead. Just see the initial video acceleration of both
I’ll stick with gas/nitro when it runs out of gas I simply put more fuel in it and keep going. I can run wide open longer and still have longer run times. but that’s just me, everybody has their happy place😃👍
Electric has instant torque and has higher rpm, very futuristic sound. There are actual electric speed boats and its nice to hear only water splashing and some whine on motor
the world records dont lie. electric is faster under 10 seconds of run time such as straight line speed runs. by 20 seconds of run time it is about equal. by 60 seconds electric is far out paced gas. Nitro dominates them both beyond 10 seconds.
Now I watched the Video. The Nitro in my opinion won all the way. The nitro was not being driven hard enough or had the prop way off. That nitro sounded like ####.
Before watching this Video, 10 laps and a nitro will win evrytime. Electric are very straight line fast a few times and from the time you start to use it it' s performance is decreasing rapidly. Nitro all the way!!!
Decreasing rapidly using electric powe?? , u r definately not rc boat players.. Gas can run longer time then electric but definately slower, electric has less than 10 minutes run time but insanely faster.. Thats the different..
