Thanks Sanjay Sir, Mehul, Chris and Rooster...

I haven't taken the boat to the pond after stickering and painting was done, will try to go soon and upload the video.

Water cooling works very nicely once we push the throttle beyond 30%, which keeps the motor and ESC cool - one water intake which goes through motor and then the ESC.

Below are the parts used on the boat, which was purchased from banggood.com.

I don't have the link for the motor as the motor was purchased 5 years back by error, which i used it on this boat. (Inrunner Motor is 2000kv)

Where did you get the stickers from? I assume they are waterproof

R C · October 15, 2018, 02:04:55 PM

Yes, the stickers are waterproof.
I got all the stickers printed locally and the cat face on the hatch was hand cut by me

I painted the boat white and then put the stickers on the boat.
Once the stickers were in place i gave the boat to a professional painter to spray a coat of clear lacquer on the boat

@r c,
Really well made and finished.
All you need now is a larger pond

Regards

Sirji, need contacts of people selling 3mm ply (liteply) in Bangalore. Or did you source that from elsewhere?
