Ships, Subs, Torpedoes and Hovercraft at my local RC show (4K resolution)
One of my favourite RC shows of the year. The Southern Model Show has a bit of everything. The temporary boating pond is used by about 6 clubs who demonstrate their various watercraft to the appreciation of the visiting public.

Hi. Just put this back together after the 3rd brushless motor caught fire. Made from a rejected glass fibre hull which I bought cheap at a show. I have now learned how to do glass fibre repairs.

    Hi, thanks for the info👍 I'm new to BLs, but learning fast, and your experience confirms my growing suspicions that outrunners not only deliver more torque than inrunners (size for size) but that they are also more reliable and seldom need water cooling.
    Your new motor seems to be a larger diameter 58mm?, as opposed to 31mm for the old one, so I begin to wonder if the old ones were simply overloaded by a big prop causing them to draw more and more current and hence cook! 😡😭
    Check out this test drive (Italian)of your new type motor!!

    cheers Doug 😎
    PS Caption says that with more than 3/4 throttle the boat becomes unstable! Then it flips 🤔

    PS Don't worry about 'adding up' the Watts and Amps!
    True the spec says 12.6v and 35A, which theoretically gives 441W.
    And the power is rated at 220W. This simply indicates to me that the motor scoffs 441W of power (at Max ratings) and spits 220W out again, i.e. ~50% efficiency 🤔
    Almost any decent brushed motor will beat that! But with other penalties😉
    Cheers Doug 😎

    I think you have to put it on You Tube first, copy its url, then Click on Video Gallery tab, when it opens just click on submit video and away you go.
