RC Jetboat (water cooled)

thingiverse

The files labeled "New" are the models that I modified to be able to fit and use the electronics I bought. The drive shaft I got was a bit too long so I have the motor mounted with spacers. I recommend gluing the open motor mount holes shut so water will not have a chance to leak from the back of the boat. I used mainly M3 hardware with M2 being used with the push rod for steering for the boat and I recommend using something like medium CA glue. I also used Dual-lock for mounting the ESC, receiver box and the battery. The receiver box is something I printed from another user. I was also recommended by a friend for sealing the haul of the boat to use something like the Flex seal spray or any other waterproof flexible material will work. There is also a small print that is for the water inlet side that is on the bottom of the boat. So far I have only done a test in a tub but when I get the boat out on a larger body of water I will add it here. I did also cut up and put pieces of a pool noodle inside the boat as emergency floatation. I also had to drill out one side of the universal joint to fit the motor shaft. I will link all the electronics and anything else I used that can be bought or printed will be linked below. My total cost without counting tax was $170.61 though heads up the motor combo and the drive shaft are currently unavailable at the time of typing this.Servohttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HNTKSZT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsESC Motor combohttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083GTTCMN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Uni joinshttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0782Z3S8H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Water cooling outlet nipplehttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087BV46HZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Push rod rubber sealshttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0749L64KJ/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Drive shafthttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RLFNJBD/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Water cooling tube linehttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0914N9G88/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Dual-lockhttps://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Reclosable-Boats-Cars-Drones-Indoor-Outdoor-Waterproof/dp/B09FY8JM3M/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3T6ZCKBS8B56G&keywords=Dual%2Block&qid=1698377457&sprefix=dual%2Block%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1Receiver boxhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4270491
