This is getting personal now !!! Leave my pet rock outa this ! ....so well said Tony, we need to do whatever we can to try and point out to the newbs the mistakes in how they think it is and how dangerous these gimmicks can be...too often I had customers come into shop and say things about how the Manufacturer said it could or would do this. They leave out, "At your own risk"....

True. Of all the things that could negatively impact the reputation of our hobby, negligent battery circumstances rank right on top of the list. I'm not a thermodynamic engineer but I've been around long enough to know (again reinforcing Travis's point) that the best way to use batteries safely is to avoid, (through setup and runtime) getting battery temperature in the danger zone and NOT by cooling something that wants to overheat. I'll also add that doing any meaningful full-density pack cooling could require a fairly sophisticated cooling grid array inside the pack and I'll go out on a limb here and speculate that this is NOT the case with the watercooled Venom packs.

The specs are also, at least to me, questionable : (click the "specifications" tab)

They claim 100C on this 2S 5000mah battery (which shows 50C on the label) ; and 500A continuous draw capability with a 700A burst. Really ??

Also stated is a 1C charge rate. I've been of the opinion that any premium pack can be charged at up to 5C.

I wonder how good that warranty is? It doesn't cover water damage, yet they water cooled the packs!!! Oh well it is good for laugh. Hahahahahahahaha.

Does a free griddle plate come with it also to have a BBQ when you get the boat back. That is just fantastic lateral thinking on Maxamps part rc boat/bbq.

I'm thinkin' you put a regular water pickup in the boat and use the pump to put the fire out!!
