Have any of you guys ever made a sprintboat?

Not with a big gas engine but with one or two .21 nitro engines.

The jet drive makes it easy, for the engine, to turn the impreller.(i'm told)

Therefore it should be possible to use nitro engines, making the hull smaller/lighter and thus faster.

The gear could be a simple clutchbell/spur to make the jet spin at the optimum RPM.

If any of you know anything about jets, please fill me in ;D

MHZ from Germany sells them, but only speaks german, and that leaves me a little in the dark. 8)

This is an unusual project Morten... can the drives handle the rpm's?
 
I'm thinking buggy engine with clutchbell and spur, to get the RPM right.

Cooling should not be problem ;)

I guess you guys are more racers than tras and bashers.

Me beeing just me, I think I would have lot of fun throwing the boat around a tight course. ;D
