Sorry about the delayed response. Yeah iv always had a soft spot for the micro range of RCs and that's what got me back into boats, big is fun but the micros are hilarious😆🤘
$89 that's so cheap for what you get! I wish i had a body of water near me, i mean, aside from the Pacific Ocean, but i think the beach is a little optimistic for this little guy. Looks like a lot of fun, though.
Yes I would have to agree the Pacific may not be the best location for this tiny boat, would be fun launching it off waves though🤪 But yeah I think these little jet boats are some of the most practical RC Boats you can get, cheap, super fun and more than capable for what they are👌
Sweet boat, have one myself!! Fun in the pool also!! I have also upgraded mine yet to run on 3s as pool too small!! Were you able to keep the self righting operable with your set up? 😎👍
Yeah awesome little jet boats absolutely🤩 Great in the pool in stock form and just silly fun on 3s brushless😅 No sadly my self righting doesn't work because the esc I'm using doesn't go straight from throttle to reverse, not sure if I can program it so it doesn't have a neutral position but it would definitely help.
Going to need water cooling. I 3D printed up something similar that i run 4s on. They heat up fast enclosed. These little go fast boats are tons of fun🎉!
Yes I have had water cooling on the esc for a long time now and I have run it on 4s, didn't heat up at all but it physically couldn't pump the amount of water through the tiny jet duct on 4s so it just cavitates and is slower than 3s😅 3s is insane enough though and yeah the motor stays very cool👌
@rccrazy I'm running a mjet30 and mjet35 super sprint on 4s with a 3660 2150kv. Almost starts cavitating. Any smaller pump and yep 3s or lighter. Need to put up some vids I guess. Just plain fun.
Ah yes I have seen the 3d jet systems aswell as some cool 3d hulls. I have some 3d upgrades on this boat from a company by the name of Sundogs Adventures, great little mods especially the ride plate🤩 This is the first 3d parts video if you were interested👍 ruclips.net/video/hQrxDOaxMFY/видео.htmlsi=5fROTaLwDS17VJwO
A little water gets in mine aswell but it's not really an issue. But the thing your talking about is just craft foam, I just cut it out to fit the seal area.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate that🙏 It really is fast for it's size and weight. No I don't think I ran it on 4s sorry, can give it a shot but I'm not sure the motor will survive😅 Thanks for watching👍
I didn't do a specific mod/upgrade video but it's literally just replacing the stock electronics with a brushless kit of your choice. You will NEED a brushless motor, brushless esc, a 3 wire servo that fits and a proper radio system(controller and receiver) DumboRC X6FG radio system is the cheapest best option in my opinion. The hardest part is getting the old motor out and installing a new one, not much room in the hull
No issues with temperature and the only SprintJet specific water cooling system is the 3D printed parts from Sundogz Adventures, Shapeways, quite expensive mainly shipping but definitely worth it👌 Take a look at this video for the water cooling system👇 ruclips.net/video/hQrxDOaxMFY/видео.html
That is a slick little creation, why no reverse though? Would it be easy enough to have? I know the stock jet jam can do a little bit of reverse which has similar propulsion to that one stock.. I want to set one up just like yours for some little creeks and stuff.
Thanks mate👍 I think the esc does have reverse but it may be disarmed, can probably be changed in the setup or with a program card. And yes, it's a perfect little jet boat for creeks and streams👌
So I had no problem fitting/installing everything but someone that tried to directly copy my set-up had a problem with the brushless motor shaft not fitting the stock coupling, I can not remember if I had drilled out the coupling but I'm sure I didn't🤦 Anyhow, here is my set-up, esc is discontinued but there are many 30a boat escs on the market that will work perfectly, good luck🤞 2435 4800kv 2-3s motor m.aliexpress.com/item/32692755898.html Hobbyking 30a 3-4s water-cooled esc hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbyking-30a-boat-esc-3a-ubec.html?wrh_pdp=6&countrycode=AU&gclid=CjwKCAjwh-CVBhB8EiwAjFEPGWfrWxMcZes5HHl5q7-pcpnXO0GKwuy1Z7q48j933JL5lGI0KGoYAhoCoG8QAvD_BwE&gclid=CjwKCAjwh-CVBhB8EiwAjFEPGWfrWxMcZes5HHl5q7-pcpnXO0GKwuy1Z7q48j933JL5lGI0KGoYAhoCoG8QAvD_BwE

Thank you very much mate🤘😁 If your not looking to spend too much I pretty much always recommend DumboRC systems, find them everywhere online, most places less than $70aud with a receiver and you can bind basically as many receivers as you want to a single controller👌 If your looking more high end brands then I couldn't really help as I use Spektrum and I don't think they are very popular these days😅
@@rccrazy Hey thanks bro, I will look into them. A few of us plan on FPV racing just for fun and some banter, So your info has come in very handy mate. We are only using cheap FPV systems atm for both high speed boats and 1m class SailBoats and its hard finding analogue radio reviews for boats so I'll order a couple and see how we go. Hey, Thanks again cob...Great channel, am yet to discover your other uploads but I shall indeed! Take care my friend cya again soon ay -MQ4, WA
That sounds awesome! No you probably wouldn't need super good FPV systems not going too far. Hope it all works out well for you guys, im sure you'll have loads of fun😃 Cheers from Melbourne😉
The only think you could do if you wanted to keep the stock radio system is different brushed motors or use good 2s lipos. If you want brushless you need to change everything.
What's that yellow seal you put on? Mine leaks like crazy. Just ordered my brushless setup, running 3s on stock electronics for now, 🤞 till it cooks it. Actually doesn't need to be any faster but hey.
Oh wow your running 3s on the stock system, sweet😃 I was too scared it would cook straight away😆 The yellow stuff is like arts and crafts foam sheets but it kind of just squashes the original foam down more creating a tighter seal. It seems to work for mine so it's worth a shot🤞👍
how long did stock electronics last on 3s??? lol have 2 currently for the kids and dont want to spend the money and time on brushless just yet..... haha
I don't think I tested it stock on 3s🤔 I honestly can't remember, sorry😕 But I'm surprised they run 3s stock at all as most I've tried failed straight away or keep cutting out from over voltage protection. Maybe don't run 3s until you know or have all your upgrades😅 Sorry again!
@@rccrazy I was just wondering because it takes a 180 size can motor stock sort of like the mini z cars. I know the mini Z brushless system would fit right in but it's expensive. And the water cooling block is set up for the 180 type of design motor that has a flat two sides
Ok yes, well if you wanted to use something like this setup you could but just get a little lower kv motor and you won't have to use water cooling at all especially if you just stick to 2s. You could also use 2040 size motors, would fit much easier but may need cooling being smaller. Whatever size you got try and stay under say 4200kv and you should be good. Just for reference, if your esc is over spec and is 3-4s capable and like 30-40a, running max 3s with these little motors you wouldn't need cooling on the esc either really👌
Would what work in the 917? Sorry I've made a lot of changes to this boat. If you mean use a 3s lipo then I don't know I never ran mine on 3s, I wouldn't think so though, not stock.
Yes you could upgrade to brushless, I think you will need a new radio system aswell (controller and receiver) The stator and other mods may be compatible but I never checked or fitted any on the 917 sorry.
Will only be Australian links if you want Australian links.

Motor yes, impeller yes, actually impeller tube I think yes but it looks like you would have to cut it out as it's glued onto the inner hull. Only thing preventing me from changing the JetJam impeller.
Heat is not a good idea, it's not held on with hot glue it's more like gap filler or silicone so heat won't effect it but you may deform the hull attempting it.
Yeah you need to get some weight back further and buy that upgraded nozzle with a water spigot and a ride plate. The ride plate will stop it from porpousing
Thanks👍 Yeah im not very familiar with boats but I have played around with ride plates on other boats. Iv found a duel plate system works well because you don't loose as much steering as the plates are slightly angled and skims very smooth on top of the water.

That's wicked. I'm learning to appreciate these little boats more. I lost 3 full size rc boats this season.
Sorry about the delayed response.
Yeah iv always had a soft spot for the micro range of RCs and that's what got me back into boats, big is fun but the micros are hilarious😆🤘
