I am really thinking it would be way cooler if you put that thing in water. I think that is what it is made for. It is really hard to get those things to move on dry land. Carry on.

How do you convert it into using a water pump or is there any other way on how to do it cheaper?? Can I just tube the carbueretor to behind where the driver is like on a race boat and put an air filter there?? So it's air cooled?

@YaMaHaCrAzY68 There is no water pump on this. It uses a water pickup on the back of the boat to force water through as it is moving. All you need is a piece of brass tube cut at 45 deg and stick it in the water. This engine has a 'cap' that is custom made for water cooling it. It takes place of the 3 top fins on the head. You could leave it air cooled if you wanted but the head would have to have very good airflow.

I have a spare whipper snipper.. how hard is it to convert it to use in water? I am thinking a longer and bigger hull for it.. looks good.. put it in the water and record another video..

[sherbutorange]

are all rc marine engines water cooled?
