Scaled Speed

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

What is this and how would one go about figuring it out?<br />For instance, 100MPH scaled speed if the scale was 1.5.

Re: Scaled Speed

I believe it would be 100mph, divided by 5... 20mph...

Re: Scaled Speed

Is that scale 1.5 or 1:5. If it's 1.5 then you're looking at 150mph. snappers got it though.

Yep, over 3 foot long and pretty fast also. <br /><br />The Jack Russells don't have a chance.

I like the way the "trailered" the boat!<br /><br />I have a "cruiser" boat - it is pretty cool - but on a lake it looks like a matchbox..<br /><br />Tlord

Re: Scaled Speed

1:5 scale means 1" of model equals 5" original.<br />100mph scaled to 1:5 would be 20mph.

Re: Scaled Speed

FWIW, here’s my .02 cents 1:5 reads like a ratio, 1/5 reads more like scale, as in being 1/5 the original size. Also can be expressed as 20% of original size in which all original measurements are multiplied by .2 to obtain the reduced value. As stated 100 MPH X.2=20 MPH at 1/5 scale.

Re: Scaled Speed

Hey Spinner pics are required! <br />Boys and their Toys.. I think 20mph is about right.<br />I got a 8ft Hot Air Balloon... not exactly sure what to do with it yet.<br />Guess I'll wait until my Niece comes down from Alaska next week then maybe try to make R float! <br />Directions say to use a hair dryer but I think my heat gun should work just fine!

Re: Scaled Speed

Man that toys boat is pretty cool and it does runs on plane. I bet it a trick to power load it on the trailer.

Re: Scaled Speed

And it says that you can adjust the trim to get more speed.
