Thks X34 for the link....hehehe sorry did not do a search first

So the first looks like a water jacket and the other is a coil type....hmmm dont think I will able to homemade the jacket but the coil may be using Alu tube to wrap around the motor should work I think...

Loyn,

Al tubes will be easiest. Try to install the brush cooling if u are running a brush motor. BTW, what boat is this.

Hmmm what is brush cooling? is it the tubing that connected across the wire terminal ? Will it short them.....

Ya using brushed motor those found in stand 1/10 RC car... boat ....dont know what boat is that.....really old and wash out....almost like a toy but with better ABS material rather than hard plastic.... just want to restore it for fun lor .... As the owner told me the motor get real hot after a short run.....so thinking of putting in cooling coil for it.....but again dont know how to do it ....

I used copper tube bought from a hardware shop in Ubi. I find copper more malleable and so far it performs better than I expected.
