Kinda old skool, but it looks good plenty strong for sure.
She's going to be the equivalent to the modern R/T Challenger , I might even put a rebel flag on it lol

It is always nice to see a different approach. Looking real good!

So I did some plumbing work using some check valves and got some really good cooling results on the bench. I pre heated the esc with hot water to about 120. I ran vid of the results. If you don't watch the vid just take my word for it , it works

I am a KISS guy ( keep it simple stupid ) to me the pump the, thermo switch are just more things to go wrong, nothing wrong with a rudder water pick up . I like to try different things also don't get me wrong but I am am not sure what you are trying to improve ? PS is the boat louder with the alum. rails ?
I'm still building it , this is my first rail system so I can't comment on the noise. For the pump system it really basic but may not be necessary. I have burned up a bunch of money on over heating esc's and motors so it just a insurance thing. I will be running a minimum of 16000mah so things will get warm and be nice to just stop the boat and let it cool for a minute when running.

Hey have you seen these computer pumps http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-12V-Brush...item3f399122b5
You do realize I'm running a dual pickup rudder right ? There are two things I'm trying to improve Chris , the first is drive it like you stole it until the red light comes on :) 2nd no more bringing it in when your packs are 2/3 charged still to check temps. Might come in handy when going to those faster props !

One thing I have discovered in the real world oil field is the centrifugal pumps are really good at volume but not so much good at pressure. My pump will have its own pickup that will submerge when the boats stopped. I think that's best incase the rudder pick ups pack off with something . I was thinking about using the rudder to pull my water but if I did that I think the head pressure going to the pump is much too high.
