TommyC Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I’ve only gone and won myself a boat on hobby comps. It’s a Racent vector sr48 brushed. It’s a cheap small boat but I thought it might be fun to add to the collection. couple of questions though. Are the electronics all the same as on the cars? Or is there something unique about the motor, ESC or servo? What about the transmitter? Could I run it on my dumbo tx? Is there anything else I may have the wrong assumption about, coming from rc cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 should be more or less similar and if you have a spare rx for your dumbo you can run it with that provided its not an all in rx/esc type thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a bl30 and brushless motor going spare so could do a full conversion if it’s all suitable? Im guessing maybe the ESC is specific, as they’re specific for a crawler?

wolfie1 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Usually on boats the esc and motor are water cooled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cooling is just a tube wrapped around the motor so should fit any motor I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 You would think it would, this is what i meant by the watercooled esc https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/hobbywing-seaking-v3-30a-speed-control-264648/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
