The jet drive picks up water under the boat..

[@modelnutty6503]

a stepped hydroplane monohull configuration would do a ton for it, simple as gluing a couple door/window shims to the underside and glassing them over. it DOES have a pair of lifting strakes and they help, it'd get even more release with the forward 3/8 of the hull cut off and lowered about 1/2" for a keel line like \_____-------------------

make the nozzle like a cone: bigger on the impeller end and smaller on the output end. it will make the top speed of the boat higher.

Today I learned that RCLifeOn is a swede just by hearing him swear

[@nickldominator]

I wonder if the reason the receiver kept shutting down was due to the large EMI coming from the ESC and motor. I've had personal experience with Micro controllers mysteriously rebooting or going into a fault condition where they would permanently hang until power-cycled when it was in close proximity to a 600W BLDC motor and ESC. I would try adding shielded cable from receiver->ESC, and try to add some decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the power input to the receiver. Also, running a linear regulator after the switch-mode power supply (BEC) would potentially eliminate the possible large ripple voltage going into the receiver as well. In addition, try moving antenna as far away from Motor and ESC as possible. Awesome video Simon! Look forward to the next one as always.

[@skagerstrom]

@RCLifeoOn A thought - I had problems with brownouts on my car. I have a HW 10BL120 ESC and a 4,5T motor on 2S. My fault was the servo. It works just fine, untill I went over 60% throttle - then it stopped responding. Not ideal. I think the BEC couldn't handle the power and as the voltage dropped to the servo, the reciver went haywire and rebooted or something.. It was a old model but fairly "new" Futaba servo I bought on a sale. Put my old Savöx 0231 in it, and now it seems to work. If you havn't sorted it out - try running it with a separate reciver battery/BEC - or change servo.

[@Addybhoot93]

I loved that sound of that full throttle.

[@Drspam112]

You should make a recovery boat. Like a smaller RC boat to take with you that has some sort of net or arm to tow your project boat back. Would be an interesting project and save getting cold.

[@geoffbuck6865]

You video composition and editing are EXCELLENT !!!!

[@zoltanimre6160]

The helicopter sound effect is badass;-)

[@ExStaticBass]

I'd suggest putting the batteries further forward. It'll help keep the nose down and give it a better draft angle. Another thing you could do is to add a small vertical fin below the intake for stability in turns. Great build so far. I'll stay tuned for more.

[@D4RKBRU73]

[@PezDJ]

You should try constricting the jet flow with a smaller nozzle thus creating a higher and faster jet stream/laminar flow of water prepelling the boat. Just google pump-jet propulsion or water jet propulsion to get the dimension scales comparing to your jet house.

[@wyealex]

Simon: does some smart stuff on water Also Simon: can't remember to bring some waders for cold water

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

tennis ball on some fishing line for dead boat retrieval. Use the business end of a fishing pole for larger bodies of water. attach ball to string and fling. Retrieve with the reel. You should be able to program the pistol grip for a percentage ramp when accelerating. Also, 75C or 100C batteries if you want speed and smoke.

[@geekoid183]

By knowing the length of the boat to trace the distance, looking the time it takes to travel from a to b (with the video recording) it's easy to calculate the speed. Unfortunately the camera angle is not parallel to the boat so that's not gonna be that precise but still.

[@maxk4324]

Which gets the cooling water first, the ESC or the motor? If I were you I'd give the coldest coolant flow to the ESC which is much more temperature sensitive than the motor. Either way, if you have a thermocouple or something to measure temperature, try running it in your bathtub at full throttle and checking the temp of the water coming out of the coolant dump port on the side.

[@3amali1]

Yes it is 6 kg but I feel with little wings this thing will just fly!! Top speed from the footage by the way is around 8 boat lengths per second! Assuming the boat is 90ish cm (compared to ur estimated height) this thing does 7.6 m/s which is just below 30km/h!! Can this be right?!

[@acartier1981]

This is the first video of his I have watched, gonna be watching a lot more now. Love the editing Best recovery ever :-D

Fishing pole with a floater and grappling hook. Throw the line past the boat and if you're lucky it will hook onto the boat and you can reel it in. That's how we did it old school.

I have been running gas boats for a while. They always die unexpectedly. If you dont want to go for a swim each time, get a fishing pole with a floating lure. You can cast over it and bring it back. If you dont have a fishing license take the hooks off the lure or use a practice plug to avoid a DNR ticket. You could probably 3d print a grapple of some kind that wouldn't have any chance of catching a fish. I also bought a cheap reliable electric boat to use as a chase boat. It had reverse on it and a hook that was designed to catch the front of my gas boat.

[@gdgzfallen]

Nice boat. Does it have a screen at the water inlet to prevent sucking in something like aquatic plants to damage the propeller?
