Overview
The UDI RC ARROW CABIN COVER UDI005-01 is an essential protective accessory designed specifically for the UDI005 Arrow 65cm brushless RC boat. This waterproof cover is engineered to shield your high-performance speedboat from the elements when it is not in use, ensuring your investment remains in pristine condition for countless hours of thrilling water-based RC action. Whether you are a seasoned RC enthusiast operating a brushless RC boat in the UK or someone new to the hobby, protecting your model with a quality cabin cover is a smart investment that extends the life of your expensive electronics and hull finish.
The ARROW itself is a serious piece of RC engineering—a 25-inch deep-V muscleboat capable of reaching speeds of 40-50km/h powered by a KV1800 brushless motor on 3S LiPo batteries. Given the advanced waterproof water-cooling system, precision marine ESC, and high-torque waterproof servo that make this boat perform at the highest level, protecting it with a dedicated cabin cover when stored is essential maintenance practice. This cover is built using a double cabin cover design that delivers superior waterproof protection, keeping moisture, dust, UV damage, and debris away from your boat's cabin area during storage and transport.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine UDI RC spares and accessories, and this cabin cover is the authentic OEM part for the Arrow brushless speedboat. It fits perfectly with the boat's modern reinforced ABS hull and integrates seamlessly with the boat's integrated shell design. Whether you keep your RC boat in a shed, garage, garden, or transport it to RC clubs and venues across the UK, this protective cover is an affordable way to maintain your model's condition and resale value.
Key Features
- Double Cabin Cover Design — This cover uses a double-layer construction that provides superior waterproof protection compared to single-layer alternatives, ensuring that rain, moisture, and humidity cannot penetrate and damage the sensitive electronics housed in the cabin area of your ARROW boat.
- Waterproof Protection — Specifically engineered with waterproof materials and construction methods, this cover protects against rain, spray, condensation, and ambient moisture that can corrode electronic components, corrode the ESC, and damage the receiver and servo during storage.
- Purpose-Built for UDI005 Arrow — This is not a generic cover; it is designed specifically for the UDI RC ARROW brushless speedboat, ensuring a perfect fit over the cabin area without gaps, bunching, or movement that would leave parts exposed.
- Affordable Replacement and Protection — RC boats require regular maintenance and replacement of wear parts; a protective cover is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce the frequency of repairs and replacements caused by weather damage and corrosion.
- Genuine OEM Part — This is an authentic UDI RC factory part, ensuring compatibility, fit, and durability that matches the engineering standards of the ARROW boat itself.
Technical Performance
The UDI005 Arrow is engineered as a serious brushless RC speedboat, and every component—from its layered ABS hull construction to its KV1800 brushless motor with water-cooling jacket, marine-grade waterproof ESC with integrated heat sink, and high-torque waterproof servo—is designed to withstand extreme performance demands. The boat's cabin houses these valuable components in a sealed area that must remain protected from saltwater splash, freshwater exposure, humidity, and airborne contaminants. The cabin cover plays a critical protective role by preventing moisture ingress during storage and transport. The double cabin cover design reflects UDIRC's engineering philosophy: redundancy and superior protection for peace of mind. The cover is manufactured to match the boat's modern reinforced hull design and the streamlined aesthetic of the ARROW's cabin area. For UK RC enthusiasts who operate their brushless RC boats in variable UK weather conditions—where rain, dampness, and humidity are frequent challenges—this cover represents essential protective equipment. The cover's waterproof construction prevents the accumulation of moisture inside the cabin that could lead to corrosion of the marine ESC, failure of the receiver, or servo malfunction. Whether your boat is stored indoors or in less-protected environments, this cover provides a significant barrier against environmental damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the UDI RC ARROW Cabin Cover protect? — The cover is designed to protect the cabin area of the UDI005 Arrow brushless speedboat, which houses the sensitive receiver, servo, and ESC. It shields these components from rain, moisture, dust, and UV exposure during storage and transport.
- Will this cabin cover fit my UDI005 Arrow boat? — Yes, this is the genuine OEM cabin cover designed specifically for the UDI RC ARROW UDI005 model. It is engineered to fit the boat's cabin area precisely without gaps or excess material that could flap or expose internal components.
- Is the cover waterproof? — Absolutely. The cover features a double cabin cover design with waterproof construction, providing superior protection against rain, splash, and humidity that could damage the ESC, receiver, and servo mounted in the cabin area.
- How do I care for and maintain the cabin cover? — The cover should be cleaned periodically with fresh water to remove salt residue (if operating in saltwater environments), dust, or debris. Allow it to dry completely before storage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV sunlight when not in use, as this can degrade waterproof coatings over time.
