Default RE: PROBOAT APACHE 24

While I have been recovering from my surgery, I got the crazy idea to put the Titan 12T motor and XL5 esc from my old slash that I sold a while back in the boat. Man, it was freeking awsome. I only ran it in my pool, which is 30 feet long, on 2S and 3S. 3S was defenitly the ticket. The motor got a bit hot and allmost fried because I was running in bursts up and down the pool so it wasnt cooling right. I'm also using the stock cooling coil which isnt efficient at all. With good cooling even on 2S its a great upgrade and cheap! Teh ESC is water proof so that isnt an issue.

I dont have any picturs but its teh Traxxas Titan 12T motor. Its the same length as the stock boat motor. The XL5 ESC isnt water cooled nut only got to 98* with 3S running it in bursts up and down the pool. So it should be fine running consistantly through water with an eficient way of cooling the motor. I'm going to see what I can com up with for cooling it. Maybe soldering some cooling tubes to the motor some how.
