I ran this boat pretty hard in the salt water and even jumped some waves. I had a good time and now it's about time to get the maintenance going. We will do a a common 2 step maintenance procedure that is easy and will keep the boat operational for a long time.

Sweet video Dmitri!!! Great tech on boat maintenance. Looks like the King motors Baja is the king of that track. Great watch brother!!!
Appreciate this factual and relatively to the point video on how to maintain electric boats in salt water. I mostly fly gliders and jets and this boat thing is tempting! I'm not sure whether to get another plane or boat next.... the simple maintenance of the boat looks fun enough to want to get me involved. Too much maintenance as in anything glow or gas just turns me off.
Thanks again for the video.
Nick
I’ll always love how careful and dedicated you are with your new toys, get the time to research and do proper maintenance. It is not like using them once and completely forget about them
hey man! yes!! Totally, I don't just do one video and toss the thing, I find that really disrespectful to the hobby and the viewers. UA-camrs these days just make vids to get products sold, with no real respect for what they are talking about, and they treat the audience like a 13 year old child without short-term memory, lol. I plan to run this boat for years to come and I can guarantee you will see it next summer and it will still be kicking some ocean AS*!!!!
@@hybrid32494 lol most of mine havnt even seen dirt. And I got like 20 trucks 10 boats. Boats stY clean all the time obviously lol
Awesome boat and maintenance
thanks man! I don't want people to think I just do videos and forget about the products, I do full care and maintenance on them because I respect them, they are more than just video content to me. Nitrogang!!
Thanks for the demo.. this is what im looking for.. kinda new to rc boats
Great one! I dont know that I will ever own a boat but your videos make them very tempting and interesting! Get some food bro!
NITRO GANG!!
hey bro!! Right on! Nitrogang 4life!
Hi Dimitri, great video man, not gonna lie dude, watching that water coming out from the side of the boat made me wanna pee, lol 😂. 😎👍👍👍
hahaah, dude, when I examined the on-board video in great detail I noticed the water cooling system working, you can't really tell any other way, because it seems to only have enough water line pressure at about half throttle I'd say. It's genius!!! I personally thought it was all a corny gimmick and useless, but it works!!! Now you can pee!! lol.
You should sell merch nitro gang t shirts!!!!!
Good vid brother! Still waiting on moms boat! I really hope she gets it!
hey bro!! It's ok, you mom will get the boat sooner or later, I'm waiting on some stuff from banggood too. It's just the world we live in right now, everything is sold out in the hobby world and prices are going up to compensate for this. We can only be patient you know.
Absolutely brother and Im a patient man!!!
That's another super good video you got here my friend i like it 👊😊👍
Great video as always, when are you going to get that drag car in the background going?
agreed. would love to see that nitro rippin.
tip,put your reciver in a balloon!!!and tyrib,works perfect
hey bro! Yes, good point!
Love the boat
hey man! thanks!! I was beginning to worry, this video got very few views. I know this isn't nitro boat, but common, boats are cool, even if they are not nitro. LOL. I do have 2 traxxas nitro vee boats btw.
I have got a boat brushed
just a tip for you :D. Usually, it's a lot simpler to put the receiver into a balloon and zip tie it on the cables. It's a way nicer solution to keep it waterproof. I did that on my two boats that I have owned. Did too many swim aways with them so I found them a nice new home and owners that are ready to swim if something goes wrong while running :D.
hey man! Yes, that will be exactly what I will do to the boat I the future, including the lipo. I think the lipo is more valuable and needs more protection from salt water corrosion than the RX. The lipo has many opening that are not waterproof, what do you think?
@@hybrid32494hey man! Anyhow its best to dry the whole boat after running, so it's best to keep electronics waterproof. The salt water can run into cracks of the casing in which the electronics components are seated and stay there. You can't easilly dry it out, without taking the whole thing apart. Therefore I think it is best to keep electronics components protected more then the battery. The only weak point of the battery is the balance lead. The lipo cells are incased and are splash proof, but the balance connector is more vulnerable to shorts caused by salt water. So tug it away wisely. Also usually if everything is sealed good there is only a bit of water that comes inside the hull when running. Make sure that you have sealed the lid with electrical tape or something similar when running and all will be good! Also regularly check the seal around the lead if it needs replacing.
Another great vid keep it up!
Jang is the man! I feel bad for hating on him for leaving the hobby to do Lego lol
yup, JANG is the man, no matter what he does now. What can we do, at least the RCs he used to review can now still be early purchased on the used market, and his videos are still relevant.
@@hybrid32494 Yea for sure.. I watched his Himoto buggy video again because the Imex Renegade I have runs the same chassis lol
SUPER COOL! I DONT RUN BOATS, MORE OF A GROUND RC GUY. BUT I ENJOYED THE VIDEO AND IT MAKES ME WANNA GET MY HANDS ON 1!!! THANKYOU!
hey my dude! This is my first boat, I've also always only run ground RC. But this one was so cheap and offered so many good features, I had to get into the boating scene, you know. Technically boating is safer, because there are no curbs to crash into, ahahah.!! JK.
@@hybrid32494 LOL, JOKING YOU MITE B, BUT THAT IS 1 HELLUVA GOOD POINT! NO CURBS -WELL HOPEFULLY, THATS A PERTY BAD WREK IF U HIT A CURB W/ A BOAT!!!
Awesome video dude, I'm going to have to get a boat at some point
hey man! Based on your "AIR Hyper 7 buggy" lol, you would need to get an "AIR BOAT". ahahaha. JK.
@@hybrid32494 haha lol
I wanna see that nitro v versus this In a comparison, that would be cool. Great video
hey man! Yes, I will be getting to the Nitro Vee soon, but trust me, in terms of speed and handling this electric boat would destroy the nitro vee. The top speed on that old nitro boat is about 25 MPH at most from the forums I've read. Ofcourse in terms of coolness factor alone the Traxxas boat is king!!! Cause NITROGANG!!!.
Well I'm not to worried about salt water now haha
hey buddy! Yes, dont worry about the salt water, you just need some simple maintenance and grease and it's fine. I still own this boat and have run in in the ocean many times, no damage or rust at all. Just gotta put that marine grease all over and it's fine.
@@hybrid32494 awesome man
Iv always bee just 1/10 crawlers haha.
I have been needing a boat for just because reasons.
Been to have some videos of boats on my channel haha.
Soooooo, for the Nitro Gang you have to get yourself a nitroboat instead of an 2nd Electric one, i think😉
Just saying
Do it😁
Best nitro wishes from berlin
hey!! you are 100% right. And don't worry, because I also have 2 Traxxas Nitro Vee boats. In one of the previous vids recently on this boat I showed that the Nitro Vee runs. Plus its got dual exhaust. Nitrogang 4 ever!!!
You need keep approximate 1mm gap between the propshaft and the tube. When the axle drives the prop it becomes a tiny bit shorter.
hey man! thanks for the info, I'm still learning many of the boat related maintenance and running methods. Anyway, do you mean I should keep a 1mm gap where the prop is in the back? There is a plastic washer on the line already. I will unscrew it some, thank you.
@@hybrid32494 yes there i mean. The plastic washer will worn out real quick if you don't keep the gap. The plastic washer need to have 1mm play between the back. Will search a proboat manual for you and send it. Also always store the prop shaft outside of the boat and lubricate it. Love your video's BTW.
Lubricating the flex shaft is vital to the life of the
drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping
water from entering the hull through the stuffing tube.
Lubricate the flex shaft and all moving parts after every
30 minutes of operation. Lubricate the drive strut after
every 90 minutes of operation.
1. In the hull, use 2 10mm open-end wrenches to loosen
the collet nut from the flex shaft.
2. Slide the flex shaft out from the stuffing tube and
drive strut at the rear of the boat.
Tip: Use paper or cloth to touch the flex shaft and other
lubricated parts.
3. Wipe the old lubricant and material from the flex
shaft.
4. Lubricate the full length of the flex shaft assembly
up to the drive dog using marine grease (PRB0101 or
PRB0100). Also apply grease to the collet threads.
5. Carefully reinstall the flex shaft in the drive strut,
stuffing tube and collet. If the flex shaft is difficult to
remove or install in the collet, use a flat screwdriver to
spread the grips of the collet.
Ensure there is a 1-2mm gap between the drive strut and
drive dog to allow for flex shaft shrinkage under load.
Awesome video man!! I personally like to take pride in maintenance and upkeep of my Rc's. If you love your Rc's they will love you back🤘🤘 Love the content brotha🔥🔥 I will get one by next summer hopefully!! Maybe I will go with that newer model, all I have is rivers so not having to swim after it would be ideal!!
Hybrid...been kinda a silent observer watching your videos and subscribed to your channel. What do i have to do to be part of your nitro gang!!! Love your material and your videos.
hey my friend! Welcome to the Out in the Open Nitrogang world, LOL. JK. I will do a short clip and give you a special welcome! But then you must get a Nitro, lol. Thanks! Really appreciate your support, this is why I respond to most comments and keep this thing going.
@@hybrid32494 I own about 5 nitros and just bought a new revo 3.3 couple weeks ago and love it. My tmaxx 3.3 might be a little more fun cuz of the 21tm .thanks for welcone sir
Hey mate,
Nice video ,if you want I can give you some more advices to improve your maintenance :-)
Glad that you have also fun with the boats!
hey pal! Thanks for watching, you know I'm always open to any good advice, even when it comes to boat maintenance, I'll be sure to read your response comment! Thanks!..
@@hybrid32494 Hey pal!
First of all, the explanation and the whole video is really nice!
So my to additional advices are:
1.When you reinstall the drive flex shaft (!This advice is only for flexshafts!) you need to set up the necessary axial clearance between the white torsional damping and the sterntube ,with a clearance of 0,5mm you should be good to go!
(You can use a 0,5mm gasket paper as spacer,this is the way that I use to do it)
This is due the fact that the flexshaft will contract as soon as it is on load ;-) otherwise you might damage your flexshaft an create additional friction but also wear on your white torsional damping.
2.If you drive your boat on saltwater it wont be wrong to apply before and also immediately after each run something like WD40 (this will act highly rost preventive) on all visible metall parts like screws etc. You can also apply a little spray of this directly into your coling tube after the ride.After this you should do exactly what you have done on the video with the fresh water procedure :-)
As mentioned before,everything else is correct and very nice presented on this video !!
Hope I could help a little with the little two advices..
sorry for the one or the other english mistake since im not an english native speaker ^^
I have another question (sorry about the amount of questions lol) is it normal for a nitro engine to idle higher when it’s cold but then the idle drops down and becomes smoother when it gets to operating temp?
Hey bro I need some tuning help, my engine after a wot pass the idle stays up for 4 seconds then it drops down. Also is it normal for an engine idle to be higher when it’s cold and drop down to normal when it’s at operating temp?
Thanks man
hey bro! thanks for watching! All the issues you're describing are quite normal, and I know it's not ideal. Usually you can get rid of about 80% of the idle issues with correct carb tuning. First, can you tell me if the engine is running too hot? There really are many variables here. This is called "2-stage idle" and most low end engines have it due to the carb and the needles. Not really something you can totally get rid of without getting a high end carb. I'd recommend you richen (turn left) your low speed needle (1/8) turn at a time and also 1/4 turn left on the High speed needle. You are just doing trial and error type tuning at this point, you know. Each engine will respond slightly differently because of many other factors. Let me know if this gives you any better results my dude, then we will know.
hybrid32494 I will try it out later today the engine was running at 214 degrees. It’s a novarossi cx12 I think I’m gonna put a startup video later today
hybrid32494 thanks for the advice man, I got it dialed In today, running about 210 degrees, 193 degrees when it idles for a bit. It sounded crisp and smooth. I think another problem would be that I was tuning when the tank level was too low
One advice! Never grease the tip of the shaft, those last 2cm/3cm of the tip where meets the couplers, should not have grease! Ask me how i know... :) When runing the boat it will slip ...
hey bro! thank you for the advice! That makes sense. BTW, are you into XMODS?, judging by your username you are, I have a video of one on my channel.
@@hybrid32494 Yep...all with miniz boards... look at one of my videos...ua-cam.com/video/5IzFdLARkhk/v-deo.html
“The Bad Guy”
and it was at this Point Ur Made Some Of Us Feel Old .!!.!. #RazorRamon
HEY YO!! LOL, glad you liked that and had some fond memories!! Just don't ask Razor Ramon about boat maintenance, he don't know this shit!! lol. JK>.
Yo bro great video...i still want that gtr tho
hey again
@@LegendaryRc lol u falling me now
I had corrosion only on my lipos. Does anyone have an idea how to waterproof those?
yep! Same here bro! Basically the lipos will almost always corrode unless you properly seal them with a ballon and then tape the wires tightly. (this is the biggest issue, in reality the lipos will last you a couple runs in salt water until water will corrode it).
Have you got the NEW ATOMIC GREEN BOAT ?
hey dude! Nope I wound up not getting it due to stock status and eventually cancelled the order. I might turn around and purchase it for this season though. I still have this boat and absolutely nothing wrong with it, even after many runs in salt water.
@@hybrid32494 yea i got me one myself. but it was complete shit !
how u handle if your boat flip?
hey buddy! IF you flip this boat you can simply turn it back over, it's not a big deal. I have other videos where it flipped and it was fine after.
@@hybrid32494 how about your capacity battery? is stock or already upgrade? im using 5400 mah and this boat never flip..so hard to play and need to swim 😂😂😂
he yo check it out I got a green screen
HEY YO! that's right! hahha. The Bad Guy Likes the Green Screen.
Too many literallys just say no to literallys
I HATE using marine grease
hey bro! I don't consciously track the use of my words, I just try to not mumble and have accurate info, you know. Although I have tried to reduce repetitive lingo recently. Anyway, it seems the boat was quite well greased up to begin with, there was almost zero rust even after about 2 weeks without doing any salt -water maintenance on this.
😠😠😠😠🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
