Ideally you'd use a lathe to drill the coupler out, but even then it may not run true, but you've got nothing to lose by trying.

That motor will be fine Brian, and no need to waterproof it, just...

No problem Brian,

Depends on what you mean by short bursts, and a lot of other factors like motor size and kv rating, and whether you're running 2S or 3S. Also whether you're running fast on open...

Below is a link to the motor I recommend. On 2S it's pretty quick and on 3S it's crazy :) Have a look around my eBay store for other stuff I do, the ESC I recommend for that motor is the 35amp one,...

Hi speed, a brushless setup makes a massive difference. They're total junk out of the box, a lot of them don't work at all, but they're fantastic fun after modding them. I make lots of parts for...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

25,000 would be good so build the fastest one you can. Keep the boat as light as possible as the Cox motor won't have much torque down low but once it hits it's power band it'll be fine.

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Plenty of power there Mike, especially since the overall weight would be a lot less than electric, just a bit low on RPM for flat water work. I agree about the mess of fuel... and starting issues......

I've never seen one or heard of one that's been done, couldn't find anything on youtube either. It wouldn't be as fast on open water as a brushless electric setup but plenty fast enough for rapids...

Nice one Brian. Just so you know, when the instructions say to use CA (Super Glue... Crazy Glue etc) to glue the stator into the stator housing, don't even think about using anything else. You...

I like it :) No idea how well it'll work but I look forward to hearing the results. Just make sure you round the transition from hull bottom into the tunnel at the front especially. Sharp edges...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

There's no substitute to volume mike. A 28mm jet unit is pumping twice the amount of water that a 20mm unit is.

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

No worries Mike, whenever you're ready just email me. The ESC I do is heaps big enough, it's the same one I run in the 540mm boat I do which has a much bigger motor. I do have batteries but I can't...

Hi Mike, it's Steve (SicRC... ondabeach)The main difference between the 2 reversing nozzles is that the Kamewa style is much shorter than the Riva-Calzoni. If you were going to be using the boat in...
