So both the brushless motor i bought and the esc have water cooling jackets. Ive seen boats where the tube plugs into the rutter and then there is a hole in the hull. Which one is the intake? There are no obvious in and out markings on the motor and esc. Does it matter which tubes i hook up to which ends?

Makes no difference just try to keep the amount of tubing to a minimum to reduce resistance and cool the esc first and then the motor. Make sure you check the flow of water to ensure there is a steady stream. -
Put the water line "in" the lower fitting of the jacket(usually the rear one) and the line "out" on the upper fitting.Comment

I liked the days when i used to race 27MHz 1/10 rc touring cars on a World Competitive Level, with DC motors and the best thing to hit the bench besides Surikarn was GP Ni-MH and how much you were going to 'cook' them before a final .
Leaving the scence before AC motors and Li-Po became the norm, suddenly Watts, Amps and maths require one to THINK and then,..... post too much.
I knew i should of done level 3 maths insted of wood work and metal work !!
But hey, im looking, learning reading. Seems so far just like the car days, he who has the most money wins. I would like to try my 'luck' at the pond one day on a competitive level for fun. But when i still need to learn about high currents and electronics beyond TX and RX, the envy to wanting more power, and about the justified money to play with bigger toy boats, i think i best keep reading looking and learning before posting. thnkx.

Water should flow from the rudder to the esc, from the esc to lowest fitting on motor, from the highest fitting on the motor to discharge fitting through side of the hull.Comment
