    Here's another cooling tip.
    If you take out the ESC you will probably find that the cooling plates arch away from the ESC in the middle & are not making contact. If this is so, remove the plates & bend them slightly in the opposite direction. Then smear a thin layer of heat transfer paste on all cooling plate surfaces that come in contact with the ESC & reinstall the plates. Don't over tighten the screws.
    We found that the temps on the ESC dropped around 7- 10 degrees after doing this.
    Even if the plates are making good contact take them off & use the paste.
    I think you can get it from your local Radio Shack over there in the States.
    All the best.
    Paul.
    See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

      Also if I buy the OSE cooling jacket do I have to replace the stock cooling hose? And if i do will it fit to the stock through hull on the side of the boat?

        two blade props i was told was faster , but 3 blade s are more stabile because two blades are always in the water instead of one?

          What is the best way to open up the water inlet hole on the rudder?

                Black super permanent marker covers up the marks nice.

                  Do you have pics of your mods? It would be interesting to see how you did it.
                  Thanks.


                  I'll get some pics as soon as I have a decient camera available. I had taken some with my phone, but they look terrible, and I have since made "improvements" to my setup. The camera pics are in my gallery........keep in mind that I like hot glue....

                    If you have a couple of sharp bits - 1 slightly larger than the other you can turn the bits by hand that way you don't screw the rudder up!

                    Lets face it my hands aren't as steady as they once were!
