can i put an electric motor on it and is the outside of the boat made with pucture proof material?

yes on 1, no on 2. You'll need the Intex Motor Mount, also available on Amazon. You can't be serious about question 2. Nothing on earth is puncture proof!

Its for your first rc car but, there's no parts for it if it brakes down. I couldn't find parts for it. The motor is just your basic motor and not very water proof.

I´ve installed it at the bottom, besides the outboard engine (I have an aluminium small boat used for fishing, with a 25 HP engine). It isn´t very good at 30-25 mph and above because of the bubles.

no and mind fell off the front of boat` . make sure u mount it good. motor may slide down in rough water and hit the waves ripping it off

Tom R., Yes, this unit may be mounted on the outside of a boat. No 8 watt is available but there is a 15 Watt (sp-1500). The ToolCritter Team

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

Would not recommend in open air in the elements when not in use (i.e., rain, etc) as there is a motor/exhaust on the side (top if cooler is on its side like the photo I see while writing this). Also if boat is in ocean/salt water expect corrosion over time on the internal electronics. We use ours in car / in hotel rooms.

It has the power to move the boat, my Jon boat loaded is about 600 lbs and this motor makes wake. Be aware it has a very short shaft so you'll want to make sure where you mount it is low enough.

This is very thin material and I would not recommend for heavy outside use. I'm assuming when you say "Aluminum Boat" that you mean a skiff type of boat, not a boat with an interior cabin area. It would be fine for interior cabin boat applications such as speaker boxes, temporary mats, and covering walls. It may be ok for temporary in a boat that only sees freshwater, but I would not consider this to be used in saltwater at all, not even temporary.

I'm sure it's not ment to have a trolling motor used with it. But that being said,there is a spot to put the battery and I'm sure you could attach it to the metal tubing. So I'm saying it's completely possible if your responsible about the reality,it's not ment for it. I'd try it!

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.

I dont use for outdoor, but I dont see why not if you keep the motor from getting wet.

no. not entirely. the esc and receiver are waterproof. not the motor. don't go submerging it

Be aware that salt water will kill it, period. Also, based on experience with other RC boats, heavily chlorinated water like at public pool can be pretty bad for the motors also. Read rest of my review o this item. "GROG"

This is a great motor but I'm not sure it would be good for an inflatable boat- not sure how you would attach it

don't expect more from the motor than what you pay for it..if it's on a lake your fine.. don't expect to hit any rivers with it. Motor runs good though.
