Here are a few videos of Tim Kish and Randy Rapedius testing a Warpath Pro. First time in the water.

LOOKS GREAT

We were VERY pleased with the Warpath PRO from Marc and our Zenoah Suicidal 260 with Hotpipe. The pipe is long, the rudder is long, the prop is small. There is a lot of speed still to come. Running 70 mph is rough and windy conditions. Not bad for the first time out. Thanks for producing such a great product Marc.

Yesterdays testing went very well, picked up a few more mph with very little effort, the boat is a dream to drive tracks dead straight and with the Titan turnfin is accelerating through the turns .Also very pleased with the Mike Ross Suicidal motor, it just loves being abused, two days of testing in some very rough conditions at times and the boat has come home every run.
More to come....

A few more vids...

In the last video right around the 115 mark is where the prop blade let go, to bad that was a very good prop.

It takes a very strong propeller to survive the apparent tail hopping seen in the video when the boat passes on the front side of the lake.

Could heat treated stainless steel or Beryllium copper propellers survive this pounding?

The hopping was the RESULT of the blade letting go.

Thanks for the photo Randy. Was this propeller heat treated? Interesting that it begins to break at it's thickest area. The blade in the photo is heat treated C-20 Beryllium copper. I began to fail at it's leading edge & broke completely off.
