Water is 1000 times more dense than air, this is why the top BL boat guys are arguably closer to the cutting edge than BL vehicles. I know that won't go down well but boat guys definitely have a take no prisoners attitude when it comes to their racing

When you consider how much drag is on the entire vessel these speeds are fairly amazing. 50mph from Traxxas (if it's true) is no mean feat...they'll sell thousands
