    Another Fightercat Bling Rocket...

    Built this with my son, it's his first boat. 26'' Fightercat Bling Rocket, Tacon 3660 2200kv motor, Fightercat 160A ESC, x442
    Water is still frozen, so it will be a while before any videos.

    It looks nice,
    But why did you put it in the scale boats pictures ?
    Also the water line on the back of the motor on top of the jacket,
    Is that water coming in or going out to the transom exit ?

      The water goes to the ESC first, then the mount only because it's there, then the motor.

          Ok,
          But from the mount it should go to the jacket nipple at the front of the motor,
          Where the shaft and coupler are, That would the lowest point and then come out at the top then and exits.

            This setup will have sufficient cooling either way. If I was running a high amp setup and needed every advantage, then sure. But if this motor overheats, I'll have bigger issues then water cooling. Thanks for the tip though.

              Ok, Just trying to help.

              But for record it should be like this in the green for flow,
              In from the bottom and out at the top.
              If you do it the way the red is you get less water around the can of the motor.
