These boats are 1/8 Scale, and they are doing 50 mph.

Therefore at scale speed they are actually doing 400 mph.

Actual boats this size are doing 70 mph, so at scale speed these are doing more than 5 Times the Actual Big Boats.

They are extremely difficult to photograph as they are moving on 3 planes, unlike a Racing Car which is moving on 2 planes.

They are excellent for horning photography skills for Sports Photography and Panning
