Hi all,

RC V-Hull boat, built from 3mm lite ply and 3mm balsa.
Got the Ply and balsa cut from http://www.happylandingsindia.com
Once the parts were cut, it was a easy built.

Did you use a water cooled Esc . Did you use a single cooling pipe for motor and esc or separate ones

Yes, i did use 60 Amp watercooled esc with single cooling pipe for motor and esc.
but the cooling was not good enough for motor with the copper cooling pipe, hence i had ordered a water cooling jacket from Banggood which i have installed and now water cooling is much better and free flow of water through single cooling pipe.

Was this because not enough water flow which I know is difficult to assess . But maybe having a separate dedicated inlet for cooling water(not using the rudder inlet) will give better cooling also using a heat conducting paste when using a cooling tube helps much better cooling. Sorry just throwing the above info at you but shared it since I learnt them during my builds.

Hi Rooster,
Yes, i did use heat conducting paste but water flow was not enough.
I had a separate dedicated inlet for cooling water, i dint use rudder inlet.
I have ordered a aluminum water cooling Jacket for the motor, once i receive the same i will install it and do another test run.
Will keep you guys posted.

I guess They will do laser cut upto 4mm and CNC cutting for above 4mm. Not sure though, you can contact them and check.

Can you please share the design, else provide me the link where I can download.

Hi Sujit,
I dont have the plan as i got the part laser cut from HLI and they have the Laser cut file.
You can check with them and they will assist you.
