How do you put a cooling jacket on something with ridges all the way to the shaft end?

[Make-a-Wake]

With o-rings.............i just like lookin' at it personally, looks all business..........LOL

[driftah]

kinda resembles a tekin t8 motor lol,who makes it?

It does look nice, but then it isn't a photograph, just an artist's conception of what somebody might build.

Its for sale at Kershaw, so its real.....................i guess its a Leopard/Keda/Top power clone................??? Only thing is that its not real friendly for boat use with its odd length of ribbing.............i'd just get a leopard.

Find an "O" ring that fits into the ridges, then cut a tube to fit over the "O" rings.
It works for me, because I have a lathe and can cut the tube inner diameter to fit.
I drill and tap for two 10-32 barbed hose fittings for the water in and out.

Thanks, I was thinking it needed a flat surface but I see the ridges would be a benefit.

I emailed Dan at Kershaw about the motor and he said it will not be available for shipment until at least the end of the month. He told me it was not a relabeled Leopard or Keda. Would not say who the maker was but they were a small group of guys that had just sat down and designed a motor they wanted to have made.

My 1000th post....LOL , I really like the look of that , just chiming in , would be nice if they made some 2230 sized units that looked like that

No, it isn't - yet. It is still a concept until they actually get some in to sell. If they were really selling them I'd expect to see a photo of an actual motor, not a CG concept - that's quite revealing.

There is a reason the OSE Swap Shop requires a photo of the actual item being sold......

Dan and I talked about the 5692 only.

Hey do you guys have a link to the new motors website.....thank you

[Brushless55]

Dan and I talked about the 5692 only.

with the emails I have with Dan, I put no trust whatsoever in this guy for info...
he has stated a lot of bs to sell stuff from his site...

I think Hobbyking has a motor much like this in the 4074 size thats been available for a few months now...
