My problem is just as it says above. I had a Traxxas Blast RC Boat sitting in my garage for at least 6-8 years, becoming absolutely filthy. I remember feeling very bored with it when first I ran it. Replaced it with an Aquacraft Supervee 27 Brushless. Anybody remember those, lol? Actually, anybody remember Aquacraft, lol?? Well, while I’m at it, anybody remember HOBBICO, lol??? In any event, the Blast was slow, the dog bone fitted to the driveshaft came loose, and I abandoned the brushed Blast.
Now, all these years later, I decided to render the Blast sea-and-lake-worthy again, I don’t even know why. So I cleaned it up and removed the assembly that holds the steering servo, motor, ESC and receiver. Stupidly, while doing so, I pulled INTO the hull the rubberized coolant outflow tube that goes from the motor and through the two holes in the hull. (See the pictures attached, well, not really the one of my Revo, which is not pertinent, but it’s been on my mind A LOT, and it’s almost done, I’m pretty sure.) I should have left that tube in the hull and just pulled the tube off the MOTOR. I’m smart enough to realize this NOW, lol. But it’s done. So live and learn. Sin in haste, repent at leisure.
In any event, now I am left with NO idea how to reinsert the coolant tube through the hull. And I’m wondering if there’s some trick to it, of which I’m just unaware, but that one or more of you might know.
Anyone???
Thanks!
