How This Electric Motor BOOSTED My RC Boat
Ойын-сауық
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!
If you haven't seen the first one, watch it here:

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

You got a Scandinavian Tan, also known to the rest of the world as a sun burn, haha! Jk, much love from Norway~
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!

Amazing editing! Thank you for sharing your maker's endeavours. My first RC experience have been FPV multirotors but RC boats look like a lot of fun (in summer at least).
video quality and your humour is on point.
Use the Same Motor but make a Hydrofoil Boat Instead!!!😁👍🏻
AMAZING! Very well done! I've got very encouraged watching your project. Thank you very much. George
OMGosh, Simon, the sound effects were cracking me up. The "blurp!" over your cannonball into the lake, and the helicopter for the drone footage! Excellent. Glad the Hobby King motor and battery upgrade were a success.
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

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...

snikwahjets I was thinking the same thing after I saw the video. Might be worth making a video on this experiment.
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.
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!
I love it when you talk swedish! Makes me want to see more of your beautiful country, I've only been to Stockholm. Keep up the great work, it's always a pleasure to watch your enthusiastic soul produce awesome content
nice boat! now make it jet powered! :D
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.
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.
You know, sometimes we just watch and like it. Nice to show us where it gets stuck in this wonderful hobby.
Haha!! "... å jag fick en bränna. Många drömmar gick i uppfyllelse!" Garvade högt. Hittade precis hit till din kanal. Kul! Kör hårt.

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
Love the creativity of all your shots and extra footage.
I hope HobbyKing supports future projects. I real appreciate your ingenuity with electronics
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.

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!!!
Is it possible tooo? 1.) make it autonomous 2.) put a radar on it I’m thinking of an autonomous fish finding r/c boat the that can also map the water.

Awesome video. Awesome quality. Absolute bench mark when it comes to these building videos. I ll try to come somewhat close to you in my videos within the next years.
I was a long time RC helicopter guy until i had my son. Now he’s old enough to get into RC stuff with me, so im excited to dust off the hobby room equipment. I have decided helicopters are too time consuming and you have inspired me to do drones and oddball type projects like these. The hobby takes on a whole new dimension with 3d printers, we have a Prusa mk3 that should be more then capable of printing frames and other stuff. I have years of high end RC work gear, soldering stations, fabrication parts like carbon fiber, containers of connectors, servos, bl motors, speed controllers, etc. thanks for your wonderful videos showing how far the hobby has c0me
