Great mods! i have the same boat, but havent tried it yet.I will suggest all that get this boat to check all the screws before you use it.Mine came with alot of lose screws.Many of the screws on my boat wasnt fastened to the inside plate that holds the steering rod etc.(the screws wasnt fastened to the screw holes in the plate) Think i will zip tie and move that water nipple to the left side of the boat as you have done :)
Thanks for the clean out and tie down tips. I'm sure your propshaft is well lubed. Nice video... Banggood is kind of a crap shoot. When you receive busted stuff, be sure to send them closeup photos of damage right away. Then look for near hidden info requests in response so that they process your "ticket". Will take weeks for refund if you do everything right. Amazon is more money for sure, but WAY more professional. Enjoy your boat!
Why did you think the cooling system wasn't right? I do like the idea of the fitting off to the side. Banggood isn't helping me with a defective boat. I have both the sr80 and pro.
Just put a sticker over the back hole and drilled a 4.5mm hole if I remember correctly and pushed the same water grommet from the back into the side with a tad bit of super glue and zip tied it on
What that guy said. I have the sr80, broke the prop and shaft so ordered the pro version by mistake and didn't fit. I did find a bigger prop for my boat and itis a lot faster
Beware of Banggood. Terrible customer service. I may have had debris in my water lines like yours and the esc over heated. Boat would stop and start randomly and crashed. They say it's all my fault even with video and picture evidence
Yep high chance of that happening as they are cheap so quality control is like zero so I went over everything and tightened and greased before I ran it and mine has been fine since
@@jakeaird8220 Yes, good deal for what it is but they should still own up to a defective product. Banggood doesn't even have most spare parts so I ordered everything from Monkey Hobby
@@185ez3 I ended up getting a full refund after sending this video to them as they want me to delete it but I want to show everyone how to fix it and make it better
Nice video Jake. Thanks for sharing

Just did the same thing to my boat, hopefully it works out as well.

There was metal filing left in the motors heat sink and to shoot water up takes for effort that shooting it side wards
@@jakeaird8220 I did the side cooling outlet on the side. Makes sense, thanks
How did you move the water cooling on the motor heat sink from the top to side?
Thanks
That model came with it
Great vid as always. Can you reccomend a good servo update. Mine went.
I’d go a cheaper Savox servo that’s what I have in it now it is a lot more responsive
@@jakeaird8220 thanks for the reply. How many g. Noob of course lol
Do the plugs come in xt90 or xt60 plz answer
xt60
How did you take take the original exit port out of the back top left of the boat?
Just put a sticker over the back hole and drilled a 4.5mm hole if I remember correctly and pushed the same water grommet from the back into the side with a tad bit of super glue and zip tied it on
Did you fill in the original exit port with anything else other than the sticker ? I hope it's water proof water tight ;/
Nice review
That's good!
If you do not put the scoch water enters? thank you
Only a little when you tip it over but it’s really not too much
Hey dude do you know of the sr80 and sr80 pro use the same prop shaft and prop? Thankyou
No, they are different length shafts and thickness. Props are not interchangeable
@@185ez3 perfect thankyou man 💯💯

THE SR80 MOD SQUAD ARE ON THEIR WAY➡PAUL & CASEY😎
Just wait to you see what I am doing to it this weekend 😉
I just need your opinion a 120 amp 6s or 90 amp 6s esc
@@jakeaird8220 Jake I have help on the way for you man just messaged Paul & Casey They are the HotRod Kings of RC.
@@paulcooper7162 ok thank you I will be looking at the esc an I’ll choose some flotation
Sharpen and balance your props and you will gain more speed.
Does not appear to have a waterproof cover.
Black black top cover is the “waterproof cover “ it’s not great but put tape around it and it’s all sweet
