Please anyone watching this. Dont do it this way. Dont use a torch or anything. This is a direct fit. Do reserch on how to do it or shoot me a message.
Oppps. I did it wrong. It fits either way I guess now, we all know. Thank you for the correction. I'll pin this comment so my viewers know theirs an easier way..
@@IRONCLADRC only reason I said something is because I couldn't get mine to fit right the way you did it. The way the cooling lines were was a give away for me. And the way they designed it to fit works better because it gets the esc out if the way tucked to the side like the stock one.
There’s a mounting post underneath the 100 amp ESC that you lift up, it pivots on a screw. (It’s laying flat on the hull until you lift it up into position) which becomes the new secondary mounting post for the 120 ESC
Pro Boat needs to employ you in the R&D department... Pro Boat says Here you go Ironclad, we got a new boat for ya...Ironclad is like Let's get to work boysss! They say 3s...Ironclad says 6s!
I did this last night. Great upgrade, I changed my entire esc wiring to 10 gauge and added a cap pack. I didn't want my wires going over the motor or by the output shaft.
Looking good. Just did the 120a Esc. When you remove the old esc there is a tab you push up and use the other post closer to the receiver box to mount the 120 esc. uses the stock cooling hose lengths.
You guys already upgrading the ESC? I'm thinking of it, and a new radio, for telemetry. The kids ran the boat and I noticed the battery was down to 9 percent according to the charger.
@@TheZX11 the stock esc does a good job. It says you can't program it but I used a hobbywing program card and you can make adjustments. But the 120amp is a better option for it even if just stick to 4s. You can tune the 120 easier.
Depending on your cell count and motor efficiency, a 5200Kv motor can consume a whole lot more than 120 amps. I have a 1506/1Y (5500 Kv) motor that pulls well over 120 amps on 2S with a 32mm prop in a rigger. It was WAY too much for that hull, and now that motor lives on my shelf.
Here's a video of that same boat with a smaller diameter and lower Kv motor (it's the grey "Silver Bullet" outrigger). th-cam.com/video/ShjMxr0NJ9g/w-d-xo.html There's a bunch of other stuff in the video, but you can see the outrigger in the middle of the video. I had to pull the 1506 out of it because it just ate more current than the battery could supply. A 1506/1Y belongs in a 200mph pylon racer, not a boat.
Mine is 100% stock. With the 2 piece flex square end stock stub shaft If I were to upgrade mine I'd use the micro 4mm strut found on ebay with an OSE .130 4mm steped down to 1/8 stub shaft.

Hello, by any chance did you have to program the radio again to use the back flush option?
No mine came ready to go? Make sure the servo is plugged into the receiver
Hello there, very impressive jet boat.
Can you please let me know where I can buy the gps speedometer thanks 😊

Was the first thing I noticed when I removed the stock esc.

love the 6s set up ! in such a little boat!
Another awesome how to video of all the planned upgrades if we ever see these in the UK, set back another two weeks, again
That performance difference is crazy man!! BG4L🤟
Cant wait to see your 6s speed tests and review been waiting on you before i get the esc and invest in 6s batts haha😅
This boat is so cool. love the layout and the jet motor. Can't wait to see you modify it more
You read my mind with this one. I was wondering how well that motor would run 6S
Fuck it. Make it 8S 😂
I'm planning on it. Lol. I'm waiting on my cnc impeller
That's way better!
I bought a 120a esc on aliexpress, connected it with a 5200kv motor and the boat's propeller is 34mm, but why did the esc burn out? 😢

@@Dr_Jet Do you have any video of your engine or boat?

The best 👌🏽
Yo B what size shaft and cable do you run on the mini bolt. I got a 1/8" shaft with .98 cable.
Are you referring to the tfl small bolt? I'm running .130 flex 1/8 stub shaft
@@IRONCLADRC what strut are you using I got the mini from ose but it's a 1/8" stub that it takes. You're using the 3/16 "stepped to 1/8" stub?
Mine is 100% stock. With the 2 piece flex square end stock stub shaft
If I were to upgrade mine I'd use the micro 4mm strut found on ebay with an OSE .130 4mm steped down to 1/8 stub shaft.

I’m really hoping the aftermarket for this boat blows up. I’ll definitely be getting one if companies start making upgrade parts
