How This Electric Motor BOOSTED My RC Boat

The 3D printed rainbow boat is back! This is a fully working radio controlled boat made with a 3D printer, even the propeller! How cool is that? Today we are replacing the electric motor with a much more powerful one. We are also upgrading the voltage from 16V to 24V!

Does the water cooling work ? 😂😂

[@nobotty1451]

You said that the PLA was getting soft. Could you not use a spray uv plastic coating over it? PLA loves to absorb moister. You may have to put it in the oven to dry it out.

[@josephglazier3286]

reduce the impeller/pickup diameter, or install a smaller diameter nozzle your looking to produce a JET of high speed water, not a flood of mid speed water. Also it wont plane because it is literally carrying like 3 lbs of water in your large diameter turbine assy.

[@OnceShy_TwiceBitten]

yup bernoulli's principle

[@stephenkamin1345]

Your also not planing because your vacuuming the boat down with the turbine tunnel... the front of the tunnel should point forward... go turn a jet ski over and have a look.

[@AB-80X]

@@stephenkamin1345 There's no turbine anywhere in this boat. There's an impeller driven by an electric motor.

[@caribbeanmafia2444]

Try making a tapered jet nozzle (thrust vectoring) to ensure u have a bit more pressure/ force to move the boat faster

[@blackpete]

Submerging it a little deeper could help.

[@derekbarrineau8519]

Exactly. Print a few nozzles with different diameters to find what works best for your boat. Larger nozzle = more low end power & a smaller nozzle = more high end power. You will need to find the right balance. Once you find the right diameter nozzle then move the top mounting hole position until you find the right trim angle. You could even use another servo for trim and tie it to the throttle channel with a curve /mix ( as throttle goes up the nozzle will pitch up). This will reduce drag on the hull by lifting the nose.

[@maxpower700]

Smaller jet system overall i would say. Look at something like the brinksman jetboats, they have tiiiiny propulsionsystems, and goes like crazy 😃

[@sicklad3277]

That silly big nozzle has been bothering me since the first jet boat he made, narrowing the nozzle will increase the speed at which the water leaves the nozzle and will 100% make it a faster boat

[@modelnutty6503]

yup! the fast electric jet boats use about 24-25 mm nozzle and 30-32 mm impeller. I like this guy's enthusiasm, but homework is needed!

[@dmartinnj]

Yes I liked the heli sound with the drone too. The best part was jumping in the water and transitioning to the boat taking off. You make good videos dude... Keep up the great work.

[@nealthomson9505]

The helicopter sound is top shelf. I agree:)

[@raptor1jec]

My favorite part was the little "bloop" when you cannonballed into the water. Made me laugh out loud, lol.

[@ctvxl]

Yes, that was the best part for me also :)

[@rakibraihan5959]

Make a small submarine It will be awesome...!!

[@dominik3187]

Pls make a electric surfboard. It would be awsome 💪 (i've already tried something like this)

[@PlaneAwesome]

This. I'm working towards a jet surfboard, starting with my kayak.

[@grantlesueur]

Or an electric hydrofoil board. Let’s set the bar high...no pun intended

[@modelnutty6503]

robotmarketplace-dot-com has 24v 2.1hp motor about 110 dollars US. with a 2:1 gear reduction and aluminum propeller from YoungProp-dot-com (submerse props for trolling motors) you CAN build a surfboard or hydrofoil to get up to planing speeds. for a kayak a 300w electric scooter motor is actually plenty, running just 12v. use 5/16" shaft is a perfect fit inside 3/8" hard brake line tubing, perfect and inexpensive!

[@LsxPlayer]

I subscribe this ideia :)

[@reforgedcriterion1471]

The best part of your videos are the extra sounds.. Helicopter drone and jumping into the lake with the water drop.. You deserve all the popularity you get. Definitely one of my favorite channels on youtube and now I have a 3d printer to start making my own rc toys.

[@Gforceracing20]

@RCLifeOn love your process of working through issues. Great video as always!

[@Cambpictures]

I think that you should have used the positive pressure side of the thrust system to cool the motor :) A small tap pressed though the side of the turbine housing, just like you did with the bottom, would have done wonders!

[@modelnutty6503]

yes, my water pickup for surface drive props are behind the top tip of propeller, what would be part of the rooster-tail is forced into the tubing without causing drag on the hull bottom. edit: near impossible for it to get clogged too.

[@Skyprince27]

@Cambpictures Exactly, that’s what I was thinking… You match the size of the orifice of the tap, so that it provides the right amount of cooling for the motor.

[@littlehadsell]

Wow you have great knowledge on these I'm just starting out got the 3D printer what a cool hobby

[@walteraustinr102]

I just love the way you narrate your videos. Looks like you have sound construction. Your speed is a matter of an effective propulsion solution. Great scientific built!!

[@zach5154]

On the jet pump on the nozzle you need to do a taper and make it smaller at the tip it will go so much faster

[@snikwahjets]

Yeah about 30% reduction in diameter would help heaps More curved stator vanes would lots too. Nice video though

[@ctvxl]

yes, you are moving way more water volume than you need! Making the nozzle taper to a smaller opening will increase the velocity of the water a great deal. There is a happy medium between volume and velocity of water that is most efficient. For your setup, it's going to be quite a bit smaller opening with a longish taper. Probably 1/2 the opening output size you have now I would guess...

[@stephenkamin1345]

It’s called a venturi

[@fdkrew]

snikwahjets I was thinking the same thing after I saw the video. Might be worth making a video on this experiment.

[@albymixoncuedj8532]

Well done, quality presentation and the boat was helpful for a project I am doing currently. Take Care - Australia, Melbourne

[@gavinjones7006]

Hi, With your nozzle how much are you compressing the water after the impeller? Also the steering nozzle should taper down to compress the existing water. With my hamilton jet boat with a hamilton 773 jet unit has a Scott tilt steering nozzle which can tune be fitting different inserts into steering nozzle which changes the nozzle diameter. As someone else said take cooling water out after the impeller.

[@TravAttackHD]

nice boat! now make it jet powered! :D

[@getrail3d994]

Could you do a video on a giant RC Benchy boat!? 😂

[@TheWadetube]

Electric jet skiis seem to have faster acceleration than gas models. I think that you should design a mini jet ski that you can ride and double your power with two motors.

[@FENATECH]

That was awesome. Always enjoy watching your videos and your easy going vibe. Great solution to the oriinal problem and great comeback for the repairs. Would love to see you polish out some of the minor issues (seal the rear water jet port) as I am sure this will increase the efficiency and therefore performance of the boat. *Loved the copter sounds with the drone clip too, awesome!!!

[@LampsAreCool]

I'm so impressed by your ability to drive an RC boat while simultaneously following it with a drone. Or how you get a tracking shot while driving the boat! Great video man!

[@naturalcauses1695]

Nice boat! can you make some kind of 4x4 all terrain rc car with an arduino or a raspberry pi? You could even make it so it could drive when it flips by giving it bigger wheels

From his slow-motion footage, it did not seem like there was much to any coming out from the side sadly.

[@ddegn]

I'm surprised how good the 360 stuff looks. I'm tempted to get one of those cameras myself.

[@waynerainey2606]

Did you make that Pontoon Barge aka SS Duct-tape? I Al.most forgot the main comment... If you would decrease the output size of the jet nozzle by half it will accelerate the water much faster. Also seal the part where that water is leaking and shooting up. making a new nozzle will easily give you 2x the speed.

[@stephenkamin1345]

You did not need to seal it... you should have designed in a coupler... press fit...
