Was setting in the lounge chair watching the race & started yelling at the wife to come watch (she came running thinking I had hurt myself) she made it just in time to see the replay. Man what a hole shot the boat jumped completle out of the water then set down perfect, what a run.

That was cool. Those things rock and roll. I stumbled on to it channel surfing. I never heard of dual props. I take it has two prop shafts running from the gear box? Like to see a pic.

Saw it listed but was spraying when it was on.
I followed what I could see about the twin prop project last season.
Basically spent a season dialing it (last season), and they had it by the 2nd half of last season.
One of the last IDBA rcaes last season they made a prediction that by the end of this season, all the fuel bots would be running them.
And yeah Paul, one motor turning counter rotating wheels.
Pretty basic, but definately works!

Here is a link to some info about the twin props and the w-drives. It's some good reading.

They'll be showing more IHBA races later this month.
These might get pre-empted at the last minute, but this is what is shown on SpeedChannel:
