I have a mini rio. Changed out the stock esc and am now using 2s lipo batteries. Pretty fast for a small boat. I installed a t-400 motor and it runs even better but the motor does get a little hot. What's a good cooling jacket for this small motor? Are silicon jackets any good..

I have had success with silicone jackets at speeds no faster than 40 mph. I'm not sure if I would trust them at higher speeds. I'm not familiar with your motor. I would think that there are metal jackets to fit the motor. I have also used a coil cooler on my smaller motors.

Can't use a metal jacket on a brushed motor, not enough room for it.
Went to AQ site and found this pic... http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/boats...80motor-lg.jpg -- looks like there might be enough room for this little guy... http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...?prod=gnd-4194 - behind the strap that holds the motor down.
You could use one of these guys... http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-lrg-y -- to feed water into both the stock cooler and the silicon jacket at the same time.
nother on the back side to get the water back out, just an idea.Comment
