The cooling systems on these boats work by forced induction. The pickup points into the flow and as the boat moves forward it scoops the water up inside the tubing. Im afraid i personally cant help with the engine bit someone will shout up :-))

a standerd servo for the throtle is fine but your udder needs to be a 1/4 scale rudder i use thease best value for monny and they do the job well
