TinyJetSki is a new and Improved version of the Tiny JetSkY MK1
NOW WITH FPV COVER
Hello Tiny JetSki!
v2 of the WORLD'S SMALLEST PRINTABLE RC WATERJET MICRO RC BOAT
With minifigure compatible cover and FPV cover!
Smaller, faster, better
Improvements over TinyJetSky MK1:
Easier to build ,less parts required, you need 4x 8520 or 7020 coreless motors commonly found in toy drones and planes and the electronics to control it.
Totally redesigned new hydrodinamic hull for a faster and more manouvrable driving experience, check out the video.
Snap-in cover latches that really hold the cover in place.
Improved and more powerfull jet pumps, propellers and nozzles
Twin water pumps, with a single central water intake design
Electronics board/fc supports.
Direct contact watercooled motors.

. Body 7020motors.3mf for 7x20mm coreless motors
Cover: racingCover.stl or MINIFIG-Cover.stl

@ = the nozzles and propellers must be duplicated in the slicer software and one copy must be mirrored on the X axis.
Additional parts list:
The project is based on recycled parts of old rc toys, but you can buy them following the links in the list below!
Many micro RC enthusiasts probably already own most of the hardware needed for this project such as unused rc veichles, spare parts or scrap. recycle!!
Simplest way, get a cheerson CX-30, get all the parts from it, hack the eletronic board to disable the gyroscope and accelerometer(what i'm using now! check the building videos)!
here is on sale:
Cx-30 : https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A9sMth
You can still find it in various eshops
Or separated parts:
To control the boat engines, alternatively it is possible to:
Try to hack a old drone board using MPU-6050/6000 to disable the gyroscope and accelelerometer(what i'm using now!) and use the drone transmitter or if the board protocol is compatible a jp4in1 multiprotocol transmitter like this
In the download package you will find more information on how to try to disable the gyroscope and accelerometer in toy drone's boards using the MPU-6050/6000 invensense through a simple hack(no guarantees for the non cx-30 boards)
Flash NFE experimental firmware forks for hovercrafts on silverware compatible boards(beecore lite, whoop lite) not for beginners.
To use an aio betaflight brushed flight controller like the BeeRotor TinyBeeF3 Controller by changing the pid values/betaflight settings to supress gyro/accell changes.
Use other toy's boards that already have 2 integrated escs like small rc twin motor planes, with their remotes
To recycle servo's eletronics to use them as tiny brushed escs. Search the instructions on youtube.
Building instructions:
See the included SETUP.jpg image for the motor/propeller/nozzle setup.
The pump and motor shafts are connected thru a printed joint that must be glue between the grains. See building video
Drop a drop of CA glue in the cuts under the motors from the bottom when the build is done. See building video
Paint some liquid rubber over the cover support to waterproof it.
Contact me to order it preassembled and ready to run and for any question regarding the building process.
Is it watertight?
Yes once built propetly but i strongly recommend covering the circuits with nail varnish or a dedicated protective product, put the battery in a small waterbaloons and keep a piece of sponge inside the hull.
Water protection spray for electronics
