    it finally clicked!

    i had a few boats and tried to build some. not much materialized on the the building. so went back to my old faithful . my old beat up mm i bought from asteel on ebay. this thing has been dropped, flipped, step on, burnt, exploded and sank!i was having trouble with the motor mount flexing causing the flex to bind .so i took a heat gun and removed the mount. i added a water cooled 540 mount. and moved it back towards the transom.she was nose heavy. the nose is filled with foam. i cut out the stuffing tube and re worked it to be as smoth as i could get it.she is smoking 2min run uses 2600mah temps on esc is 92 esc 80 batts 140 motor. any ideas on lowering temps on motor?

        Is the motor cooled? or just the mount?
