How To Install An Electric Water Pump On A RC Boat For Better Cooling

[@seferon100]

Nice. one question. You just connect battery to the Water pump and no extra switches. Correct? Thank you.

[@nickwright2030]

Wat kinda of battery did u use wat kind of battery connection does it have I got the water pump but now I need the battery if you could tell me what kind of connection it is and battery you use that would be so helpful thank you

[@juanangelmezamoreno5076]

You should connect the hose to the ESC FIRST AND THEN TO THE MOTOR SO YOU PROTECT THE ESC. OR PUT TWO PUMPS, ONE TO THE MOTOR AND THE OTHER TO THE ESC

I used the same pump on my Veles 29 but I mounted it near the receiver and used the aux port. Now Im running another pickup and dual lines instead of the pump it works good.

[@dnr7770]

Same here on my sonicwake plus a rubber sealed switch poking up through the top for on/off after i put it in the water the pump isn't always on. What I'm trying to figure out is a way to switch it on and offwith the auxiliary using a DX5C transmitter.

[@RBAERO]

You runing dual line with one pump?

[@aby32210]

Have a link for the pump used?

[@rwardenutube]

@@dnr7770 buy an RC auxiliary remote switch - it allows you to use a free channel to turn on an LED, or in this case your pump. Just don't forget to turn it on!!

Great video man. However the lovely part about fast rc boats is a pump is not needed because the pump can’t provide as much water cooling as the water that can be forced by pressure. The faster you go the more cooling. With a pump you are actually limited on how much water can be pumped by the motor. Great for slow speed yachts or cruising but not so good for high speed

He said in the video that from experience it cut temps in half

[@combustionpropulsion4883]

@@detroitdiesel7074 It cuts temps in half if you check the temps after a few minutes of letting the pump flow water through the system. If you were to check temps during a run (while the motor and ESC are pulling a big load) you would see that the pump is worse for cooling as it has a much lower flow rate.

[@FBI_Agent_]

Not really because it has constant flow but not the variable flow from a pickup system@@combustionpropulsion4883

I hate to break it but here is no need to do this on a FE boat. You would never see this on a racing setup. You are actually reducing cooling by doing this once the boat is moving, creating additional resistance by going through the pump. Not to mention added weight. Obviously if the boat isn't moving this will keep moving water through, but the point is to run the boat. The faster you go the harder the water flows through the jacket. If you have your cooling set up right there is no need for this. You can actually get more out of your cooling just by rotating the cooling jacket to the right so the inlet is at the lowest point and the outlet is at the very top to increase water contact with the motor housing. Increase your tube ID/OD and drill out the water pickups.

Never thought bout that keep the air pockit at the top so itll push out

[@wally6629]

Looks good, but tell me is there a By-Pass in the PUMP, so if it fails the water pick is still providing water? THX for your video

[@jeffgood6441]

Iv been wanting to upgrade the water pump on my plant waterer I wanted to know if this pump would work for me

[@colinsmith4699]

A great video

[@Nanoscape30]

Can you leave a link to the battery please 🙏

[@joserribera4888]

Where did you buy the re location kit for the out lite

[@noahschroeder2512]

Do you need that 2s battery or can you plug it into the receiver?

[@rwardenutube]

That depends on the pump. They come in 5v versions and 12v versions. the 5v can be plugged right into your receiver, as they have a typical BEC voltage of 5-6v (even 6v is fine)

[@byronjohnson8659]

Forget the water pump what’s that sitting in your garage? I saw a 5th wheel with Daytons

[@valentinconstantin8070]

GREAT VID !!!t

[@christianbiesbrouck1290]

Link of pump please

[@RBAERO]

Anyone has a link for that pump?

[@therccollective7391]

I just searched "rc boat water pump" on ebay

[@hardsweatyworker]

So I got the water pump can anyone help me or direct me to what battery he’s using id really like some help

[@courtneyroy270]

Like your water colling idea, how would we get them little pumps

[@michaelchamberlain1688]

Amazon 😂

[@rchabit6917]

Anouther thing i do to help move it a lil faster is drill the water jacket nipples out

[@joeymichell5294]

Hi bro how I can get one bout please

[@toddmcmurray5769]

How long does the 2s battery last running this pump? Just wondering how many extra batteries I may need.

[@therccollective7391]

I've let the battery pump for over an hour without an issue

[@hardsweatyworker]

What name is the battery and number on the back

[@nossrc5638]

You dont need a water pump with electric boats , just the correct setup

[@maximumthrottlerc5939]

I tested your idea and the end result was not good!!! Caused my Sonicwake to burn and melt all 3 motor leads due to extreme high temps!!! The electric pump is not a good idea on electric boats EVER because it restricts the water flow to the motor and esc, and thus allows for higher temps during runs and that defeats the purpose of the cooling line circuit and what it was designed to do. Water pumps are only used in gas rc boats to assist in heat transfer when the boat is idle on the water. I would highly recoomend that you delete this video as it is providing false information to other people that could result in them ruining their boats electronics. There is no way you got lower temps using this pump unless you allowed the boat to sit in the water and transfer heat before taking temp readings which is not the way any of us collect data. Run the boat hot and take temps immediately after the run. Then see what you have. I bet your data changes drastically!!! Ditch the pump idea and just run larger cooling lines. You will transfer way more heat efficiently that way versus using an electric pump. Trust me I collected the data already and have no problems producing a video to prove that.

[@Danvers97]

While all that may be true, if your running a boat that isn't a high speed boat then the pump is still useful.

[@maximumthrottlerc5939]

@@Danvers97 agreed on the non-speed boat use

[@NOWWATTFPV]

So redundant and not needed...... lmfao
