brushless motor heating up.
i have a toyabi mini sea predator , brushless , just installed a new venom motor and the jacket is on and lines are hooked up but at the end of a little run in my pool the motor is almost too hot for me to touch... maybe its cause in my pool im constntly going , stopping turning around and going again.... maybe cooling system is blocked...? pretty sick of this boat and water leaking into it and all this crap. the space between the steering linkage and the main metal part ( ??lol) is way too small to fit a bellow on. dam chinese boats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am seeing red!

water cooling jacket.
after the brushless motor in my mini sea predator crapping itself my mate is giving me a motor , i realised its wa shorter and stubbier then my current one. i believe these are a 370 or 380... my question is being on such a tight budget is there any other way of cooling it rather then buying a new shorter jacket??

RE: Help!
im using just the losi 27 mhz radio for now , ill be getting dx3r soon and ill use that, possibly get a venom 2.4 gig radio and reciever for only $80... my batery is in the rear now and the assend sinks in... water is coming in through my steering linkage , and theres silicone and grease on it , but it gets submerged... ill reset it and make my prop sit as horizontal as possible and move my battery further to the rear if i can cheers lads[;)] EDIT. something is stuffed... when i hold the motor at a certain acc point it doesnt go smoothly it sort of goes in sections like its glitching...time for a new motor or esc i think , and when i did that procedure you tell me , if i hold it open and plug the battery in the motor does nothing , and the esc doesnt do the start up beeps anymore

Help!
wats up guys , this is my first hobby grade r/c boat and theres a few issues. the first is i think my esc needs programming , when i give it full throttle and hold it the boat will go about 1/8 throttle for about 1 or 2 seconds and then it will go full throttle...almost like a timing.. the 2nd is im not sure where to put my battery , front , moddle or rear? the 3rd is someimes when i go to take off , apart from the 1st problem occuring it sometimes gargles up real bad like the prop isnt in the water , and the prop is adjusted as far down as it can go... it also does this when i try and turn at speed.[:@] it also spins out real easy too but i think i needa turn my steering trim down , lol. all this is nothing without info , its a brushless mini sea predator on 3s lipo , cattamaran style. , heres a pic , cheers lads [;)] [IMG]http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv233/mtbforlyf/hor20sea20predator1.jpg[/IMG]
