Another cool video Scott! You only forgot one tiny thing: "now get back to work!" lol
Dang it, I knew I was forgetting something!
She is coming together like clock work. Love it mate.
Thanks! So much more I want to show you....
Water jacket looks awesome, Jaxsen appreciated the Jaxon sighting! Looking forward to see the test runs!
I'm trying! Soon....
During my many years dealing with o-rings in RC cars and in paintball I've found that many greases, even silicone greases can cause o-rings to swell. Most paintball guns are designed to take swelling into account and actually encourage using a grease that will swell the o-rings. My paintball gun was not designed that way so they recommended using Dow33 on the o-rings as that was the best and would not cause the o-rings to swell. So from then on that is all I use on o-rings now.
I'm a big fan of your video's - just watched this one again today. Scott, you're always in the groove, just like that o-ring!
That might be the cheapest pun ever! 🤣🤣💰💰
Finley? I grew up in Pasco and Pops still lives there. Said the smoke was unbelievable.
Yup it was awful!
I have a very lightweight coupler made by H&M that is 8mm to 1/4". Very high quality if you are interested? They are also 'sometimes' available at Rocket City Racing in FL. I get mine from him.
A great tip for the threads on the tightening part of the collet, USE Anti-Sieze! It makes them last a lot longer and gives a better feel when tightening the cable down. H&M couplers are German made from high quality aircraft aluminum to high tolerances and THEY"RE LIGHTER! lol....
Links man... I need a link or it didn't happen!
@@M5PerfHydros Out of stock man! rocketcityracing.net/product/h-m-collet-8-6-3/ I have a used one I can part with. Problem is, I'm not going back to my apt. until the 25th or so. Oh well for now.
Thanks, I've bookmarked it
And the dogs name has got to be Dick Muddly.🤣 Jokes aside, it was a great video. You just helped me to decide on how to cool a larger 12 Vdc Motor driving an Air Compressor. Top job, Mate. Well done. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Ha! Well I'm glad I was able to help Michael
Another "slick" install Scott. 😂🤙🏼
Love your work Scott
Thanks Andrew!
Great fun watching your videos. When the Electro E. is done, will you be able to tell your faithful followers the weight difference between e-boat, and nitro-boat? Also, is there a shaft speed / rpm difference between the motor and the engine ? Waiting for episode 6.
Yup, yup, and soon!
What size are the new water fittings that you used for bigger flow on the water jacket? And where did you get them?
Thank you!
I really don't remember now, sorry!
Sir, can you tell me why you replaced the Water jacket fittings? The stock one that come with the Water jacket are fairly small, what is a good SIZE to use, Thanks in advance
I talk about that in the video... Fittings are replaced and drilled to increase water flow
Do you think the motor could rust with water? I have a car motor for my boat but no water cooling, but if it’s gonna rust, I think I’m better off letting heat a little and still be good.
Yes any plain metal motor is gonna rust awful!
@@M5PerfHydros okay thank you!
Wondering if you can give me some advice? I have a 50 inch long fiberglass warlord boat that is about 40 to 50 years old it weights around 15 to 20 lbs it is currently nitro powered and I want to convert it to electric but I'm not sure what motor size and what ESC to buy. Any suggestions?
Sorry, but I'm a nitro guy at heart, and don't really know what might be best for your setup
I live in wa state to you know any rc boat shops around
Yes, in my yard! But seriously, no, there aren't any RC boat hobby stores locally that I know of
Where did you get the bigger water fittings?
I drilled them out!
What type of screw that you use for that motor?
? The prop? I don't remember. It was provided by Rattlesnake RC who had commissioned the conversion
What drives the water flowing through the cooling jacket? Is it a separate pump or a esc with a built in pump?
The water is picked up by the rudder, with the pressure of forward motion forcing the water through the passages. This video might help; ua-cam.com/video/DoTdkYAx85k/v-deo.html
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows of any videos on how to bend the brass tubing for flex shafts.. for some reason I can’t find anything
If you build your boat carefully with the engine and strut positioned as much in-line as possible, the stuffing tube should require only a very gentle bend which is very easily done by hand. I have a video about shaft installation that may help; ua-cam.com/video/3hq_kXPyd4I/v-deo.html
Good tutorial Scott! What brand of electrical equipment do you use?
Which equipment?
Do you use a water-cooled electric motor manufactured by some brand or did you adapt a normal motor?
Oh, it's a standard motor with added water cooling jacket. Get it here; www.allrc1.com/product-page/het-typhoon-700-series-840kv-fe-motor
Thank`s Scott!
thats awesome, with the cooling jacket do u have some kind of pump that pumps the water through the jacket?
Nope, water is picked up by the rudder... More info here; ua-cam.com/video/DoTdkYAx85k/v-deo.html
@@M5PerfHydros awesome thank you very much!!
What motor is it
Darned if I know. It was provided to me by Rattlesnake RC who commissioned the conversion. You can reach them here www.allrc1.com
Just little curious question? how does water go from one tube connector to other if the just dump into inside the jacket? I have one similar im not sure how these work?
It's just wide open inside. Pressure on the inlet side from water pick-up at the rudder forces the water around the can and out the other side. Primitive, but it works!
@@M5PerfHydros thanks I have the same can I hope it won't damage my motor its wp but still nice motor
Got some new o rings little thinker but having trouble getting them in the groove any tips?
Did you get them from Bill at Rattlesnake RC? He has some that are a perfect fit. They are snug though. It helps to smear a bit of silicone lube (LUBE not silicone sealant) on them before you press them into the groove
@@M5PerfHydros no unfortunately I didn't local hobby shop for the jacket and rings from a neighbor friend. My new issue is I lost the spare rings gotta come up with plan b
