RE: water cooling wingrush
Water cooling would extend Motor life, not sure about run times..
I run a Traxxas 2700mah nimh and can get 15 mins run time from my NQD type boat..\\

RE: water cooling wingrush
I usew the Stock Battery while my Traxxas Battery cools Down, whilst my other one is Charging..
I agree, there is a Pretty Big load of Heat in the motors after a 10 minute run..
I usually have a Battery operated Fan that I use when Charging the Battery to get some air Flow over the Motors, the Heat Sink/Motor Holders get fairly hot..
I agree, they are fun..
I run mine in a Huge 30 Foot deep Dam in our local Nature reserve.. So if it sinks its a goner..

I am Not sure About Yours But Mine does Seem to get up an Boogey a bit...
So I would Say that yes it would be Quick enough..
I am Still hunting Down a Prop replacement that would at least be better then stock but I am not having much Sucess
I think kyosho Blue Props May Fit??

RE: water cooling wingrush
thanks do u reckon that the boat would get going fast enough to get enough water thru the cooling system
Seriously, watercooling won't extend run time much at all with the stock pack, but if you go to a pack with more voltage or a higher capacity, cooling will help keep the motors from burning up. Even a boat going 10 mph will push enough water IF the tubing isn't too long or too narrow. The speed control is the next most vulnerable item in the boat.

RE: water cooling wingrush
They fit the TurboJet, the Highwind,757,Wing rush and the Hydro
They will fit..
Thing is I am looking for a Slightly better designed Prop.. but I am unsure of what I am Looking for..
I really Like my Boat and Will do anything necessary to keep it in the Water.
So If I am Stuck with the Stock Plastic Props, I will just buy in Bulk..
If Some one can Suggest a Better Prop that will fit it.. I am open to Suggestions and Options...
