    Default Cooling

    Hi,
    How is the water cooling set up for the KOS? Does each motor have it's own cooling water intake, or are they daisy chained together? What about the ECS?

    Each side has its own water system. IIRC, the water runs from the pickup to the motor, then to the ESC and out.

    Be certain that you pull lines from cooling and blow thru them to check. More than one has been blocked and fried motors or ESCs. Actually, you always want to check everything before running....tighten all screws, look for any hull issues, make sure all drivelines are well lubed, etc.

    first thing I did was blow thru it..what you can also do is mix some marvel mystery oil and water together and inject i hru thelines..this will help with water flow and or if running in salt water conditionslike I do..won't allow salt t obuild up and block anything. I live in the caribbean so that is all we really have but I always flush ever thing after my runs and spray down with WD40 in the hull works great actually
