Yes your boat will look tight with all that bling👍👍
It's getting there lol!
Can't wait to see that thing on the water!
Theres videos of it on my channel. I ran it on 4S. Next video will be on 6S. Hopefully next weekend it will happen. Crossing my fingers for good weather
Sweet boat bro 👊👍🍻
Thanks
*SO INSANELY COOL* 😎!!!! That Plumbing in there, resembles a REAL Boat! 👍👍
I miss my real Boat... 44' Sea Ray, twin 5.7L Chevy V8's, twin Volvo-Pentax Outdrive.....
How I learned that Speed Aluminum Screws, and a very ROCKY Sea Bed (Long Island Sound), DON'T MIX!!! 😖😧😞
Great times though.
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Thanks, now im going to have better water flow to cool things down when I run it on 6S
You sure SHOULD Bro!!
Thats such an awesome boat Big Lou, n great stickers! That #113 on the boat should be 313 lol
Thanks, Took me a while where to place those stickers right. Dude I'm going to run one of my vehicles tonight. I had to pull some strings on the location. I'm crossing my fingers everything goes to plan.
That’s a super nice RC boat
Thanks, its a beast 😎😎
Yeah that boat is a beast! Can’t wait to see the 6s since the upgrade!
Hopefully next weekend. Everything is a go on 6S. Crossing fingers for good weather.
I like cooling upgrades myself, thanks
These things get hot fast. lol!
I’ve upgraded all my boat on my channel. I keep my heat gun with me . Like I said, thanks for getting information out there buddy
Hi Luis: I was out of town but I'm back! Coming through to show support for your content. Full watch and view to the end of this video!
You are sweetest person on TH-cam 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Some info for you brother... been building boats for well over 10 years so I'm not just talking. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the battery adapters you have on your ESC plugs. The resistance will melt them at 6 cells and possibly cause a failure or worse.. you also definitely don't need to replace your electronics to go faster. With a prop change and some attention to setup you can reach speeds near 100 with stock electronics. Take your time with adjustments and record everything you do so u can see improvement or if your change is hindering your performance. Good luck man. I like your videos. I have the same boat. Isn't she sweet!!!!
Thanks, Its my first boat so I'm still learning. Someone told me about the battery adapters Most of my lipos have Traxxas Connectors on them. I guess I have to dedicate some lipos just for this boat. I ran it on two 4S packs 100C. It did pretty well. I checked the connectors after the run. Everything was ok. When I took the top off a slight steam came out, but that was a little bit of water went in from me taking the top off. Knock on wood lol! I heard by changing the props to go faster can over heat the electronics if not wired correctly. Then other people tell me I'm better off with the stock props. Also the props have to be balanced. I seen some videos on that.
Luis L.P. RC's it will heat things up if you go to crazy with the props. But if you hit up Chris at dasboata on the web he will set u up with the best aftermarket props available. He's the master! He knows the proper pitch and diameter that will keep things safe. Pick yourself up a Rc speed meter to see how your adjustments are reacting. Sky rc makes a good one for 59$ you can pick it up from motionrc.com Good luck and happy boating.
Cool Thanks, I'll check them out.
Did u guys need to inlay hull for extra strength
Frank Williams you can. I didn’t. Boats still going fine no problems. But I don’t beat the snot out of it either.
Big Lou show em how you do👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh Yeahhhhhhh! Lol!
Very nice big bro
Thanks, I been busy these past two weeks. I had to upload and upgrade yesterday lol!
@@LuisLPRCs your welcome big bro
How come you got one line coming out the ESC going into the front of the motor jacket and then going out of the boat on the back side and they other going to the back of the motor on the back side and leaves the boat on the front side? Factory has both water hoses coming from the ESC to the front of the water jacket then the back hose leaving the boat. Would that make a difference in cooling. One video recommends do it like the Factory. You have one in the front they other on the back.
Mine is set to factory. All I did was put bigger lines for more water flow fir cooling. I changed all the lines.
@@LuisLPRCs well I have the same boat and both lines to the waterjacket were the same. But I guess it would not make a difference unless the jacket works only one way. I did change to bigger lines like you did but I'm skeptical weather that makes much difference. Some rc boat guys went with a dual pickup rudder others drilled holes in the bottom of the boat for extra line pickups me I'm staying with what you did. Don't like drilling holes and don't want to sped more money on a rudder. What you did should be fine .more volume of water logically should take care of the heat. Will try it out this spring since I'm not 100% if rhat will do. See you in the spring then I will give my review lol
Love this boat, nice vid. But will the bigger tube make any real difference when the couplings still are the small types? Will it not be a bottle neck anyways?
Thanks, it will make a difference in cooling, but not a huge difference. Now more cool water will be in those tubes. Those Esc's get hot fast. I'm going to be running it on 6S so every little thing helps
Will make no difference, will bottle neck
It will bottleneck. No different than having a funnel with a super wide opening and a small discharge tube....you can pour as much fluid into the funnel as you want, but it’s only going to pour out the discharge end at a certain rate. The tubes between the ESCs are still the same size, so no improvement to cooling at all...just a reduction in cash in your wallet. The only way to improve cooling would be to increase the volume of water going through tube, thus the heat removal capability of the water. This can only be done by either increasing the cooling line size of entire system, or if unable to do that, increasing pressure of the water flowing through system to increase the flow rate. But the pressure is controlled by the speed of boat, so that is a fixed value as well.
Would making the water intake hole bigger help with keeping the esc and motor cooler?
You can get better pic-ups if you like or add a extra line. It all depends how your going to run your boat. In this video all I did was get bigger lines.
I also bought one, must say looks beautiful on the outside, the inside of the hull leaves a lot of quality open, a lot of air and open pieces of fiberglass, very poorly finished on the inside, treated it with Kevlar so that the hull has its strength and pressure plates applied at the rudder and suspensions made everything water-tight. a lot of work but it pays off, it should all have been good in this latest version 2020 but is not the case.
With an unboxing video, the inside Hull processing should also be looked at.
The quality of the polyester Hull inside is definitely not quality worthy.
I did not had these issues with mine. I guess the factory worker that put that boat together was bad. I put the square foams that came in the box in the hull. I just cut them to size and fits perfectly. I really dont have issues with mine. I guess I got lucky with a good batch.
I read from many people have broken hulls when the boat flips, i would love to buy that boat but is expensive to break it
@@gilveradoriano3726 anything breaks if you crash it hard enough. That goes for any vehicle. I have foams in my hull. You hit a rock thats underwater going fast. Bye Bye hull lol!
@@LuisLPRCs that is true, but i read that many guys with this boat break the hull and loss the entire boat, what i mean is there are another brands that they dont have that problem, or at least not that many.
I really would like to buy the Miss Geico, yours look amazing.
Thanks for your reply!!
@@gilveradoriano3726 Well I dont have problems with mine. Most boats are plastic or fiberglass. Unless you get a carbon fiber boat thats way stronger. Basically no boat is unbreakable. Pro-Boat is a pretty good company for RTRs. Check out Bill Oxidean he sells Carbon fiber boats.
Hey bro I just wanted to know why you used the stock outlets after upgrading the tubing cause it is still not pushing out much water cause the stock outlets are have small holes I bought m8 water outlets for my veles 29 there holes for the water to pass though are at least twice as big allowing more water to flow freely also what about the water line going to the the water pick up how did you upgrade where it comes into the boat? Cause it's bigger tubing just curious bro cause I will be upgrading mine soon and looking for some pointers
All I did was upgrade the tubing to the next size up. So more water goes in for cooling. It makes a small difference, but everything helps. This boat has mad power and heats up if your just messing around going slow. This boat needs to run fast. But for better results you can get bigger pic-ups and add a second line. It all depends on how your going to run it.
@@LuisLPRCs when adding another line did you drill or use a body reamier? Thanks for any information.
@@Kolsch221 I did not add another line. I was thinking about doing it, but changed my mind.
Lookin sharp brother 🤘🤘 change the lines between the escs too! Also, check out offshore electrics 150a esc and leapard motors. Fast shit quality and prices well 🤘🤘
Thanks, I did the lines in the middle. That's on the second video lol! I will check them out. I so hooked on this boat lol! Is there any other boat sites that sell parts that you can tell me.
Luis L.P. RC's for electric I buy pretty much from just swoop and offshore electric. Gas and nitro is mostly zippkits and gizmomotor. Your boats sweeet. I love cats. I saw the real version of your boat being trailered up to Michigan a couple weeks ago when I was on a business trip. So fucking cool. If you reallllllllllly wanna gonfast, get an outrigger. Watch my Mizz chaos videos
@@jjrotogeek I have a question? Im thinking of upgrading the rutter to the dual pick up rutter. How do I hook up the cooling tube to the ECS? I guess what configuration?
Luis L.P. RC's I’m a dual rudder I’ll use one tube going to both escs then out, then the other to your motor. Pretty simple brother
Thanks, Boat Master lol!
How you doin bro, love the boat.big like and subscribe from me. 11 Charlie Rc is my boy. When you have a chance you should checkout my channel boats , trucks, etc
You don't need to swap motors or ESC'S. The boat will do 98 mph with a set for Dashboata props on it .
I been doing my homework on props. Some people tell me leave the stock props on and some people tell me get other props. So im still learning about RC boats.
@@LuisLPRCs Find and follow MrMad2424. He's at 98mph with only a prop change on his Gieco 36. Think he did that with a Dashboata 1716. Think this same prop on his Zelos twin 36 was in the high 80's. The twin 36 is a little heavier and a slightly smaller motors than the G 36. You've got a very fast boat out of the box with no upgrades. I have the Zelos twin 36 and I haven't come close to his speeds yet. Still learning how to set the boat up without flipping it LOL .
@@pcooper985 I been subcribed to him for a while. He gave me alot of advise. I saw alot of his videos before I purchased my boat..
What about the water lines, in the middle of the boat, between the esc's. You just defeated the purpose. You left small lines, that are still restricted.
I did all of them. I just did the main lines for the video. The video was becoming to long.
Where did you get that blue wire mesh from?

Thanks for the video, brother! Who made you the decals? Anyhow, same size OD tubing that I ordered from #OSE. I am using Neon green 0.8 OD tubing and will be using the Extra Large grommets like I did on my Proboat BlackJack42.. Ones i GET my cooling system completed and installed, I will be reinforcing my entire new #v2 hull with a Hybrid mix resin which is / Kevlar and Carbon Fiber mixed togerther... Here is a short video on the material. th-cam.com/video/rDi7cwLVFRA/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
