can this be use flawlessly with boats? and is there any chance i can get a waterproof servo to be coupled with?

Yes you can use in boats, and yes you can buy a proper waterproof servo to couple with only find the proper servo to your boat

Yes it can be used with boats well. Savox makes water proof servos as do most major brands that will work with the radio.

The boat has to be physically sitting in water. It completes a circuit. I tested it out by putting it in the bathtub with water in it. Didn't work sitting on the table, but once in the top the motors ran.

I haven't opened mine up, but I do not believe it is water proof. As for rock crawling, I think if you double up this would be a great servo. I'm running a single on my e-maxx and it has taken some serious abuse, but I don't know if it has the torque to overcome scenarios that rock crawling would bring.

This motor is ready to go out of the box with cables. You need a battery and that's it. I also bought a battery case to keep it dry. It should push your canoe fine.My little 12ft fishing boat flies thru the water.

This motor will work in saltwater if you clean it off after each use. I could barely make it back to the dock in a fresh water lake it's so under powered. This would not be a good motor to use if there is a current or waves. It's unreliable and will most likely will result in a situation were you will need to be rescued.

I'm not a 100% as to the answer to your question. You may want to contact the manufacture, or search Amazon for a more suitable item for your boat requirements.

I have not used in a boat, but I would assume it would work great as long as the antennae has a clear view of the sky

Yes, according to the manufacturer, though I haven't done so yet. There is a small flat area on the inside of the right-rear compartment that is meant to be used to attach a trolling motor. Drawback would appear to be the need to sit facing backwards in order to control a simple trolling motor. Also, so far as I can tell, the battery would need to sit unsecured on the floor of the boat. I wasn't aware of the mount mentioned by M. Evans but may look into it to see if it makes mounting a motor easier.

In short, ok. It's not designed to get wet at all. That said , there's a ton of YouTube videos about pontoons and floats and such. There is a company that will actually coat the electronics to waterproof them as well. On a practical note, I crashed mine into my pool one day... With my go pro hero 3 uncased attached! I was trying to get some low angle who's of my rottweiller barking at it, and the prop wash made it unstable enough that the skids followed by the camera went into the water. Two props made it in but then I hit full power and it actually pulled up out of the water and righted itself. The camera stopped when it hit the water. I landed it and blew everything out w compressed air, 30 min later back flying, 4 hours later filming again as well! I wouldn't be so aggressive in salt water or where I couldn't get it quick, and I think it's gonna fly w the camera cased as much as possible. It's worth theflight time sacrifice for the safety of the cam. Buy it! It's awesome!

I used it with a kayak. For the price I think you could try it. You could ask to be able to return it if it doesn't work

It's designed to do just what you intend. It is not easily activated by rain, spray, or the facts of just being in a boat. It has to be honestly submerged. Even then it may take a while to get bubbles out of the air chambers. Clipping it on a vest and standing/working in a driving downpour? I don't think would activate it.

I wouldnt. Although the esc is waterproof, and the servo, i dont know about the velineon motor. The titan motor is submergable. They sell tires that can float on water.

I use this for rudder control in an RC combat warship. Definitely waterproof as it's been on the bottom several times. Not a single glitch with my Mtroniks ESC.

Sure, as long as the boat has a motor mount and you can reach the handle guide

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

I have since sold this boat, but the boat does not have oar locks. You would not want to row this boat, but need to propel it by means of a trolling motor or gas engine.

It's not telescopic. You can get an extension cheap but I tell you, the difference in price for foot controls is worth it's weight in gold, always having your hands free fishing while controlLing speed & direction with your feet , you would never want to use your hands to direct your boat
