new boat guy here loving your vids, keep up the great work!

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks, & welcome to the boat gang

[@treyrahman]

The way you used the brass tubing is Ingeniu🤙🏼 You widened the cooling a ton !! Great job dude ! Old school 💪🏼💪🏼 Cheers Brother

[@sergiopabonacosta563]

Thanks for your videos, I'm new in remote control boats, I've learned a lot with you, I'm from Puerto Rico, my father is also a boat mechanic, my grandfather fisherman, my whole life I've been working on boats, I've been working on a 10-foot catamaran with a Yamaha 40 running 52 miles, I competed in several races, I love boat competition, moved to America and started with remote control boats, thanks for your videos.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I use to work charter boats, offshore sport fishing everything from inshore bottom fishing to off shore deep dropping, trolling inshore & off shore, king mackerel wahoo black fin tuna, mahi mahi,, sailfish the whole nine. I worked the fishing boats 12 -13 years of my life, I use to fish bass & catfish tournaments had to basically quite fishing when I started a family, to much time away for home type deal so I started tinkering with rc boats about 7 years ago and haven't looked back! Thanks for watching brother..

[@dalecook1184]

I'll tell you what I really enjoy your videos and I bought three boats now and I have learned so much from watching your KZbin videos and I want to thank you and I think you're funny as hell

[@brianbrissette9444]

Thank You Mrs BigB 😘 your husband has alot of common sense to walk you down the isle before someone else swooped you up, you have a passionate hard working man sharing his gift of boat tinkering, testing, tuning and bashing!

[@frederickgrassie3383]

Big B, you can repeat yourself all you want. You have no idea, at all, how you have helped me, as a new ro RC boats owner. I have done up my V2, cooling etc. Just got mad Lizzard parts in, tfl stinger on the way Saturday. And then the smart firma esc will go in. Because I wat the telemetry, and of course the new ruggart radio. I replaced the UL 19 esc with a Raider, love it. And yes I know, the ferma is about 150 more. Looking forward to other upgrades on the Veles 29, as that is my next boat! And thanks again for the honorable mention on your video for the donation I sent in. Keep up the great work, lots of us are counting on you!!

[@IRONCLADRC]

So glad I can help my fellow boaters, and thanks for the donation to the channel I appreciate it very much.

[@petergoodwin2465]

Great stories Big B, my grandpa built a huge boat when I was little. He had it for years until he passed away. Great tips mate, I'm leaving something every video. Need to upgrade my Veles, it's a beautiful boat. Every time I use it I say thank God Big B made me buy it.

Another awesome video Big B dont worry about the length of the videos it takes time to get all that important information out to us and Mrs B thank you for supporting Big B so he can help us all learn. All I can say is great videos keep them coming. I would like to see you get something in the 50inch plus range boat but again I enjoy the videos so no matter what great job Big B 👍

@@IRONCLADRC Thanks

[@philipsparrow637]

Mate, I see so much of myself in you when you talk of being old school. I too am not interested in computer based tech, and nor am I the most educated or eloquent. To put it another way B, you do a damn fine job with your videos, I wouldn't have a clue how to start a channel so good on your wife for pushing you to create content. One slight point though, when you talk of gaining knowledge from 1 to 1 boats I totally agree with what you mean, but don't forget the crazy non scale speeds our RCs can run at, so the dynamics are at times non comparable with full scale boats.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I agree 100% about the scale to speed ratio. That being said I've read alot of articles & research done for 1:1 boats scientific types studies that have really helped my understanding of how water reacts to a hull at high speeds. Its actuality quite interesting.

[@Buellerwtfman]

Really like that hose retention idea, swapping out ESC today and going to try that. Funny you talk about the 1:1 info, my neighbor owns a sport fishing boat company and lots of his tips have been applied to my scales. Although at this point I think I may his test dummy for his big boats lmao.

[@IRONCLADRC]

It really does carry over 1:1 to scale models the principles are the same & I'm sure your nabor is learning from the fe boats. WIN-WIN. THANKS FOR WATCHING

[@georgem.6136]

When I removed my water outlet (Thruhull) from my Veles I was shocked how difficult it was to get out!

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks George, a youtube channel will definitely pass the time, I know your full of useful information that new & veteran boaters could find very useful. You've taught me a thing or two over the years. Boat gang

[@hoodatdare7039]

THANKS FOR MOVING THE COOLING LINE TIP ALONG BIG B. SECOND THOUGHT YOU SOULDENT NEED A FLEX ADDITIVE IN THE CLEAR. YOUR GOOD WITHOUT IT.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks brother

[@remkojerphanion4686]

Whenever I put my boat away for any length of time, I flush the cooling system. On one ESC, I found a fair amount of corrosion on the inside where the water goes through. The connecting pipes are brass and the body of the ESC is aluminium - and when water goes through, corrosion starts. I take off inlet hose, spray some WD40 in, and blow it through. Love the taste of WD40!

[@IRONCLADRC]

I agree I usually drain or blow the water through my cooling system as well. Thanks for the tip

[@rickbarg3980]

I love small boxes

[@SnapperHeadUnlimited]

Big B, would you be down with doing a video on how to blue print a fiberglass catamaran hull like the Veles 29”/Geico 36”?

[@IRONCLADRC]

I'm gonna do the small mg17 it's basically the same exact process but smaller. Easy for me to video. Quick. The larger cats take literally weeks to complete the small mg17 should only take a few days.

[@SnapperHeadUnlimited]

Hello from the UK! Mr Ironclad. This is my 3rd RC boat after a brilliant volantex SR65 Br mono hull and a not so brilliant Volantex SR85 Cat which I've had loads of issues with so far bringing me to buying the Veles. Could you help me with my Veles. I notice motor bracket is skewed a bit in the right direction, I think it's not straight and the flex shaft is little bit bending out of the box. A bit scary I haven't run it yet. Should I be worried as loads of people have had flex shaft breaking anyway. What upgraded flex shaft and coupler would you advise, also what upgraded servo would you advise ? And what dual water pickup would you advise me. Sorry for all the questions. Please help ?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Loosen up the motor mount to electronics tray screw, straighten the motor then apply blur loc-tight gorilla tighten the motor mount screws. Flexshaft upgrade .187 HD flexcable with 2/16 shaft from Offshoreelectrics.com (search veles VELES @ ose) upgraded flex & dual pick up rudder will also pop up!

[@MaxPower-zp7wy]

@@IRONCLADRC Hey! Thanks for getting back to me. I have some Red and Blue Loctite. I laid my boat flat on a wooden table and the sponsons sit really flat with minute rocking on the left sponsor it's really tiny which is good for stock factory setup, I aren't racing so doesn't matter. I have Dynamite marine grease for the flex shaft. And I know to put it back in carefully clockwise turning. I found another site rcboatbitz. They list a Dual outlet rudder kit 4 pickups UL110K, and Flex shaft upgrade kit which is 3/16 PB335K. What's the difference between these and the ose ones ? OH another important thing I wanted to ask you. I have a Hobbywing 120A new for one of my other volantex boats, it came with a blue program card. Will this work with the dynamite in this V2 Veles do you know ? One more thing, do any of these brands pre file the rudders ? Sorry for all the questions and Thanks again Big B ;)

I have a question is off topic I have a mg36 and I just was looking on oxidean marine and found some high rake props . Thier 42mm 3/16 , and I was wondering if thay would be to much for it .

[@IRONCLADRC]

That prop is a little smaller than the stock props, the red 42 high rake actually reduced my Temps on the veles 29 and gave me a better speed. Fairly certain the stock veles 29 and mg36 props are identical

[@raymondkelly4065]

@@IRONCLADRC okay thanks I have learned a lot from your videos . I got it up to 80mph with stock electronics in it but I also did the bottom with the magic eraser, Balance the props . So do you think I could get a better top speed if I go with the high rake props

[@timskylark]

i like how you say oxidean😁

You like this or the bj24 better? Debating on next project.

Hello I am look for a cross bracket for the veles rudder mine breaking in dead middle of bracket .

[@IRONCLADRC]

I think this tfl strut/rudder set up fits the veles. Almost 100% positive www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=tfl-502b35 Or you could do this. Buy the above strut rudder set and possibly remove the Z bracket to possibly bolt on to the stock veles strut bracket. If it doesn't fit you could just install the whole strut/ rudder on the boat. Here's a link to kinda show what I'm talking about www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-83115-v2

[@georgegonzalez9281]

Hmmm, that's a head scratcher. Possibly need batteries with a higher C rating (higher discharge rate). At least 75 to 100C. What type of batteries are you using? Are they puffing up when they get hot?

I'd try the new battery and check the Temps at the end of the run. If the battery is still hot I'd definitely consider changing the speed control out.

I'm Testing the water flow on my Veles because I don't see water flowing out the port when its on the water. When I suck water through the motor with the rudder in a cup of water, it does't flow very easy. Flow from the rudder to the motor is good. I removed the connections on the motor they were free of debris. This is normal?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Sometimes you e gott track down the restrictions in the cooling run bent/kinked lines trash in the lines etc. Flush with water and tinker till you find the restrictions

[@austincolt3306]

Smarter to just add a small Rc water pump that runs off the receiver which also continues to run water while the boat isn’t moving further cooling everything.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I'd have to disagree. Adds unnecessary weight, and is not necessarily needed when the cooling is setup properly. BG4L

I won't buy another thing from Ogden Marine. I seen a video of him bragging about his 100% negative feedback rejection. So in other words if you have a problem with one of his products he's going to ignore you. He has a prop listed on eBay as a 4519 with a 1.4 pitch. I see it as it should have a 1.9 pitch. And he's arrogant enough to ignore negative feedback
