RC Boat Racing IMPBA 2022 Gas Nationals 

I would like to give a big thanks to all VooDoo Members who helped make this event happen. The hard work you put in for months has not gone unnoticed!

Man watching this brought me back to my days of DOMINANCE in the rc boat world. It was fun to race against Jeff from Insane Boats in the Gas Cat class!!! Back when Antron Brown used to race these boats as well. Jeeeesh the good old days! The sound brought back soooooo many great memories of years of great weekends! I will say, when you mention the hobby is relatively inexpensive.. I would say ISH! I had a trailer, a boat in every class, a fully built out garage with every tool needed to build my boats. Prior to a big race weekend I personally replaced every part on my boats. Man great times! Thank you for the content.

Been an RC guy for 40 years but I play in the air but man I enjoined watching these beauties! How they know and keep their lanes at this speeds remotely is amazing, and that noise!

Man, these things are into unlimited hydroplane territory (speedwise). No wonder the chase drone was having trouble keeping up!! Those little water rockets are gettin' it!!😄👍👍👍👍

Those things are MOVING! Looks like a really well attended event and a lot of great competition. The video was so well done! Informative and really helpful to the hobby. Great work!

Fond memories of the late 80's racing electric boats ,great competition it was a blast . Did scale replicas as well. R/C SPORTS ARE A FAMILY BUILDING HOBBY EVERYONE CAN ENJOY!

The boats look fantastic. Such great designs and paintwork.

Thanks for showing the RC Jewelbox!! (49 seconds in) Great racing too! I am the guy who designed and built 11 of them. 1 prototype and 10 production ones over 20 years ago. In the video a comment was made about it being floatable. Well, one owner found out. He went to an RC air fly-in which had a pond. he thought his friend had chocked the tires; the friend thought he had. when the uncoupled the Jewelbox it rolled downhill into the pond. It floated long enough for them to wade out and get a rope on the tongue to pull it out. Thanks again for generating the memories.

I grew up in Miami back in the 60's off of Rickenbacker Causeway connected to Key Biscayne each weekend they would race these "old style" boats. At that time they weren't old. Fast and loud. Growing up in South FLA in the 60's and 70's was the best childhood any kid could ask for!

Mega kudos for this 2022 boat race coverage!

Okay. So I'd never even heard of this sporting event. But I GOTTA say, This stuff is truly EXCITING!!!! There's in "tension" in the air in my ROOM just watching this on YT!!!! And the speed of those r/c boats is kinda, like, MIND BLOWING!!!! Without a doubt, I've subscribed alreay. I can't wait to see more of these events here!!!!!!

The footage from the chase drone is amazing!!!

Awesome video Voo Doo Crew looking forward to next year 978.

Uuuu....another channel with our man, the legend LA Hover

Whoa, nice seeing you here, LA Hover!! Love your bike channel!!!

That is phenomenal! Great video.

Outstanding video.

Those are some next level boats 👍

What an amazing facility. Well done to whoever made that happen

Excellent narration and pretty good FPV drive chasing. Thank you for making this video!!

Nicely done all around.

Amazing footage,awesome job love it.

Wow I've been a member out here in Washington District 8 Namba with the northwest roostertails. Race gas Thunderboats at the Nationals back in 2009. Just want to say your facilities and this video is top notch! I could only dream of racing at a facility and pond as nice as yours! Well done to all involved!! You guys rock! Thanks so much for putting a smile on my face last night! God bless from Keith dog the foam boy & northwest roostertails. Big Gas R/C boats are the coolest!! ;p

U did this back in the day it was called NAMBA Raced in 5 states. Class A-OPC Tunnel hull. 1st almost each and every time. Retired now. Loved it!!!

Love the boats and the video was put together well. Nice work 🔥💪🏻

I saw these at the Monterey club in California. Great video.

Those are some serious machines. Subscribed

Remember when they used to run the nats at red bug lake in orlando. I was runnin two Rossi 60’s on a twin rigger unlimited. Gawd I miss those days. Back in the early 80’s.

Awesome coverage

absolutely awesome. great job on this video!!!!!!!!!

Nice video, thank you... love rc boats, just have not bought, one yet... since even the electric brushless ones, are very expensive... one day soon, I will buy one.

Ingenuity is a prerequisite 😉👍🏻

This can turn into a much more expensive boat addiction trust me!

Love the content! I'd love to see some FE boats! Also, tell the drone pilot, Nice flip!!

Super !!

👍From Hawaii 🤙

Great video thank you

Wow! These guys are serious!

Great video!

This makes me want to get back into rc boat racing I use to race small nitro boats, .40 size beep V and .60 size pickle fork hydro.

12:01 that drone almost tagged that rope!

Awesome, I want one!

To bad I couldn't see the race for the drone flying. Was this about boat racing or flying the drone? Hold the thing steady so we can see what's up. I've never seen these races before.

Love my two black cat55s. One with the race engine. But it doesn't compare to these things. Still enjoy the sport.

Know what type of drone was used for chasing? Sweet video thanks

So cool keep up the videos

Who ever shot the drone video and operated the drone needs to go to film school!

Is this not the best RC Boat Racing movie ever.

Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 2 Jul 22.

Ran an arwo marine catamaran with a Pico 80 for years!

Would rather watch boats that a drone pilot using the chance to show off

Cool😊😊😊😊😊

I was 1 of race director/Marshall in my country...we used to organized big race from local tournament to international level...my question here for you is...how your organizer do a calculation during race periods?...do you have used any of electronics devise such as a transponder (mylap) PT or just using manually calculation & monitoring on every race laps.

Neato !

11:16 GOOD start? Strung out like jelly beans on the floor.

I'd love to race 🏁Them FPV!

Do they ever drive these Fpv, would love to see that view.

I like them gas boats

At 1:12 in the video. What is that F1 kit that is marked GT-54?

Wow just ran across this video cool like the boats only seen 1 in real life and it was a big boy ran on actual 2 stroke fuel mix me nitro trucks and buggies biggest truck 1/5 scale anyway nice video stay safe

Well done!!! I haven't seen any videos like this. A great introduction to the world of RC boat racing.

How do I get in touch with the people at Challenger boats ???

Skip to 11 min. To see race

Cool.....

I fly helicopters planes and miniquads, I would suggest getting someone up high with something like a mavic or a phantom that will have a good 20-30 min flight time and get a good solid aerial of the race. And tbh if your drone pilot was a bit more experienced with the right equipment and flying skills he could keep right up with that race.

Wow that

Are you the gas bike guy?

looks like fun an a winning loto ticket to get started ? how much ? $$ for one tha just finishs tha race ? for a 1st time buyer

What do you get them at people

The drone messed that video all up

Great drone footage. Awesome boats bro. Have fun. Stay safe

Really great video ! would love to see more on RU-vid after what I've already been following on Facebook

The whole video and it was never once shown from the shore so we could see how fast they are going.

I usto do that verry experience and thay are fast I had a off shour cat with a ops and Pico

Sounds like. Swarm of murder hornets lol

God is my friend god is my friend love god

You guys need a drone pilot that has something with a bit more balls than your run of the mill 5"

1/16 Mile straight away.. why cant we just say 100 meters? 😂

Great boats but drone vid was way off par , sorry need better drone pilot

Fancy setup….

Engines,,,, They are not Motors....

Hi. My Husband passed away and I have a huge gas boat and 3 spares with all the remotes and spare parts and even more. I don't know what it is work but I am ready to get them go ne. Can anyone help me with this or is anyone Interested?

My give money

This seems like another place where an electric vehicle will soon leave the fossil-fuelers in the dust (or wakes, as the case may be).

I’m completely shocked how much people will spend on a toy boat. Kudos to rednecks.

Nice affordable hobby that's not a complete time suck.

TOP Gun Life

My not

You're not like them gas boats

Do any of you video guys ever just get to the point. Have a video of some guy riding around on a cheap scooter playing elevator music.

Drone footage is horrible
