I started the process in making a new water jacket for the AquaCraft UL-1. Attached is a picture of one of my test jackets on the UL-1. The finished jacket will be 1.75" long and have the outlets in a different position.

Has anyone called Aquacraft (Hobbico) complaining about their leaky jacket? I wonder what they have to say about the problem? The most ethical thing Aquacraft could do is admit there is a problem then make it good by sending everyone "that got screwed" a 1rst quality jacket assembly.

I'm sure someone has buy now.
Customers that purchased boats from me will recieve 1/2 of the cost of the OSE UL-1 jackets. Shipping will be $4.85, with no handling fee.

Good job, Steven. Why will a std 36mm not work? Someone said the edge of the motor to sharp or something like that.

In case you didn't realize it Grim AKA "Mike Zaborowski" is the designer of the boat so yes you have been talking directly to the parent company.

These motors are a tad larger than a standard 36mm motor. They are about 36.30mm

heh, my limited sample has the AC motor 1/32" larger in dia. than a feigao 7l. but I could be mistaken, both motors were in boats and I may have mis-read the calipers
Still waiting for my boat to come in.it came in

Thanks for jumping on this right away Steven!If the final jacket can have both outlets facing the esc that would be a clean custom set up.

the creator of that water jacket by Aquacraft, forgot the K.I.S.S... Keep It Simple Son(actually Stupid, but be kind in 09) method. Also the BJ water Jacket fits ammo motors.

I Installed the OSE jacket for the Ammo motor and it fits great in my LSO cat. It is short but I needed a jacket shorter than the UL-1 jacket for this special application. Works great, I'm sure the longer one for the UL-1 motor will be perfect.

Sold out of 20 of them in less than a day. This has to be the fastest we have ever sold any product. I will have more in a few days.

Steven, what a nice offer you have made for all of the OSE bought UL-1 owners out there! A++ in my book!!

I think thats directly related to the leaky stock ones. You should be thanking Grim for that design....
My prop hasn't been wet in a while.

Its a good idea to let my UL-1 customers first crack. But unfortunately I don't have a list of people that I sold the boats to. I'm working on a way to search my sales database by people that have bought specific items. Right now I can just find orders by name, email or order number.looks like a nice bit of work. figured I'd be nice and let those who bought their ul-1's from ose have the 1st crack at the jackets

I thank him for building two of the best electric rtr boats to hit the market ever at this price point.I think thats directly related to the leaky stock ones. You should be thanking Grim for that design....
Sure there are a few bumps in the road. But bumps are what keeps me interested in playing with these rtr boats.

Very true Steven...

Besides that... Hop-Ups are part of EVERY RC industry... Tamiya, Traxxas, ParkZone, etc... NONE of these complanies make a RTR that couldn't use some hop-up parts, No reason boating has to be, or should be, any different!I thank him for building two of the best electric rtr boats to hit the market ever at this price point.

That's part of the reason they are able to deliver these things to us for the price!

Exactly! Its what keeps things interesting. It keeps us building, It keeps us reading and waiting for those magazines with a ton of ads! The car guys buy a "average" truck for $300-$500, then dump thousands to make them cooler, faster and better handling.
