Traxxas Villain water cooling

[mondeo984]

Hi gudm

I use Traxxas own 14.4V motors. I don't know in they are 17 turns, but they perform really good if the Nimh batteries are new.

The water cooling is from Graupner and really makes a difference. Before I had to let the motors cool for 15 min after 10 min run at max speed. Now I don't need any breaks at all and I can touch the motors right after a race with my hands. Can't feel any heat.

very nice job, by the way

hi there, my friend... what size are those motors? i saw in previews posts that you are german. I've got a graupner Hydroplane with Motor Speed 700BB TURBO and i'm looking for a faster motor. I use a 14,8V LiPo Battery with a 16V ESC (no reverse). i'm also buying some water cooling system for this Hydroplane. Any hints? tks

i didnt like th look of the traxxas water pick up tube. so i made 2 water scoops that bolt on the bottom of the hull. one for each motor and exit out both sides of the hull. they look and function great.

Hello, do you know if I could put the villain water pick-up in Blast???

Thanks!!!

great video!!!

try off 4 wires then easily handle of 2 motors and more room

doesnt look very effective

[mondeo984]

But it is :)

cools from 90°C down to 30°C so its very effective. Othervise the boat would need a 15 min break after every battery change

hey! nice vid u got there, so u know something about light on the villian / ex? easier to handle when its dark, it would be cool if you could make a video for taht, c ya

[mondeo984]

where do i get the super lube from ? a good sex shop ?lol , no seriously where from, and whats the best oil to use for the motors ?

[mondeo984]

lol, I got it from a local German hobby shop. Itøs based on some silicone grease

[ilikefire90]

i got one question can u get bigger motors in that thing cause im going to get one but it goes slow and can they be ballencd out more when they r in the water

[mondeo984]

sure the Villain can take even bigger motors. Can also take two brushless motors if you really need power.

In my case the 550 are fine because in rough water, more speed will only cause the Vilain to flip over.
