    Also, how on earth are you getting such long run times? Do you have a battery/cell checker? if not GET ONE!
    Take everything you hear about water cooling with a grain of salt. There is a HUGE thread on this, and apparently the jury is still out. IMHO, more, and colder is better.
    And speaking of more, once things start to heat up, they're really not going to cool down with you doing half throttle or less. Decide what kind of run you want to do and stick to it. In short, try to be smooth.
    Your temps are pretty darn good, almost unbelievable. Until you start modding, or propping up, let sleeping dogs lay. Did you move the jacket tube from top to bottom? and do you know why?
    Can someone explain this last comment (moving the jacket tube). Should I move the tube from the stock location on my voracity from top to bottom to
    get more cooling, and if so how is this done?

    Both barbs on the motor look to be on the same spot, just different sides. (stock pic for reference)

    EDIT: I think I found a picture of what you're referring to (see below). Looks like I can use regular stock tubing.

      Sorry if I wasn't clear with my statement. Water should enter into the bottom nipple, and exit through the top, that way the chamber fills completely before exiting. 90 degree nipples can aid with giving a smoother flow, and likelihood of kinking. You may also rotate the jacket to where the top nipple is vertical.

        Thanks.
        That picture is how I would route the cooling in that boat. Maybe a little shorter on the horseshoe bend for the ESC if the tubing permits a tighter bend radius without pinching or kinking.

          Does anyone know the size tubing that Proboat uses for the water cooling lines? I searched and couldn't find it. Will 1/4" OD tubing from OSE fit?
