Novak Team Driver, Bill Oxidean - Number 1 in the world! |
April 25, 2012 -- Novak Team Driver, Bill Oxidean, shattered 4 world records at the IMPBA Straightline World Record Speed Time Trials held in Elizabeth City, North Carolina on Wednesday, April 25, 2012!
Using his Novak Havoc Pro SC with X-Drive, and a Novak Premium Ballistic 13.5 brushless motor, Bill propelled his world class hydroplane to an amazing speed of 63mph, which shattered the previous 49mph record!
With the very same boat and Havoc Pro SC with X-Drive, Bill dropped in a Premium Ballistic 17.5 brushless motor and locked in a 54 mph record run! Next up, the factory boat pilot dropped in Novak Oval Spec ESC with X-Drive into his micro catamaran and thrust it through the traps at 40mph with hisPremium Ballistic 13.5 brushless motor. He then turned around with the same boat and batteries, dropped in a Novak Premium Ballistic 17.5 brushless motor to get the stock score up to 37mph!
Factory pilot, Bill Oxidean, stated "X-Drive is the greatest thing to hit the rc market since the introduction of brushless motors. My stock motors no longer feel 'stock.' The increase in torque, rpm, and cooler temps allowed me to shatter my own record by 14mph, having changed nothing more than the motor and speedo!!"
Congratulations Bill! You definitely know how to rock the boat!
