Overview
The UDI RC ARROW SILICON TUBE UDI005-30 is a premium replacement silicon tubing component designed specifically for the UDI RC ARROW 65cm brushless high-speed RTR boat. This essential spare part is engineered to maintain the boat's legendary water cooling system, which is central to the ARROW's ability to deliver consistent 50km/h performance on 3S LiPo batteries without thermal issues. Whether you're a dedicated RC boat enthusiast in the UK looking to keep your ARROW in peak condition, or someone who runs their brushless RC boats hard and regularly, this silicon tube replacement ensures your cooling system remains fully functional for trouble-free, all-day aquatic adventures.
The ARROW is built with an innovative water cooling system that routes cooling water through a draft tube and into a unique sealed motor jacket, allowing water to flow directly against the KV1800 brushless motor for maximum heat transfer. The silicon tubing is a critical component of this system, connecting key parts of the cooling circuit and ensuring water flows efficiently to keep your motor running cool under full throttle. Over time, silicon tubes can perish, crack, or degrade from UV exposure and the constant thermal cycling of high-performance boating, making regular replacement essential for maintaining the reliability your ARROW deserves.
This is the genuine UDI RC replacement part, manufactured to original specifications and dimensions to ensure perfect fit and optimal water flow characteristics. If you own an ARROW boat and want to maintain its world-class cooling efficiency, keep a spare silicon tube on hand. RC Model Shop stocks this genuine UDI RC part to help you get maximum performance and reliability from your brushless RC boat.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Component — This is the authentic replacement silicon tube manufactured by UDI RC to original factory specifications, ensuring it integrates perfectly with your ARROW's cooling system and delivers the same performance as the original equipment.
- Premium Silicon Construction — The tubing is manufactured from high-quality silicon material that resists perishing, UV degradation, and thermal cycling, maintaining flexibility and durability even during intense high-speed runs on the water.
- Perfect Fit for ARROW Cooling System — Specifically engineered to connect seamlessly within the ARROW's innovative water cooling circuit, which channels cooling water through the draft tube and directly against the motor jacket for maximum heat dissipation.
- Essential Spare for High-Performance Boating — Whether you're running your brushless RC boat regularly in UK waters or pushing it to its 50km/h limit, having replacement tubing on hand prevents cooling system failures and keeps your ARROW running reliably.
- Easy Installation — This replacement part can be quickly swapped out during routine maintenance, allowing you to get your boat back on the water without extensive disassembly or specialist tools.
Technical Performance
The UDI RC ARROW silicon tube is a precision-engineered component designed to withstand the demanding conditions of high-speed brushless RC boating. The ARROW platform uses a sophisticated water cooling system that delivers cooling fluid directly to the motor jacket surrounding the KV1800 brushless motor, which generates significant heat during full-throttle acceleration and sustained high-speed running. The silicon tubing must maintain flexibility and structural integrity whilst resisting the thermal cycling that occurs when the cooling water reaches operating temperatures and then cools between runs. Silicon is chosen for its excellent resistance to perishing compared to traditional rubber tubing, its ability to maintain flexibility across a wide temperature range, and its resistance to the salt water environment common in UK coastal boating. The tubing's inner diameter and wall thickness are precisely matched to the ARROW's cooling system specifications to ensure optimal water flow rates and pressure distribution. As a genuine OEM part, this replacement tubing meets all UDI RC engineering standards for durability and performance, ensuring your water-cooled brushless motor receives the cooling capacity it needs to maintain consistent performance run after run. Regular inspection and timely replacement of silicon tubing is a critical aspect of maintaining a high-performance ready-to-run RC boat.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need a replacement silicon tube for my ARROW RC boat? — Silicon tubing is a consumable component in the ARROW's water cooling system. Over time, exposure to UV light, thermal cycling during high-speed runs, and the continuous pressure of water flow can cause silicon tubing to perish, crack, or lose flexibility. If your cooling system develops leaks or water flow reduces, replacing the tubing restores full cooling performance. Having a spare on hand means you can continue enjoying your brushless RC boat without unexpected downtime.
- How often should I replace the silicon tube in my ARROW? — This depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions. If you boat regularly in bright sunlight, the tubing may degrade faster due to UV exposure. Regular visual inspection before each session will show if the tubing is becoming brittle, discoloured, or cracked. Many RC boat enthusiasts in the UK replace tubing annually as preventative maintenance, especially if they use their ARROW frequently.
- Is this the genuine UDI RC part? — Yes, this is the authentic UDI RC replacement silicon tube manufactured to original factory specifications. Using genuine OEM parts ensures perfect compatibility with your ARROW's cooling system and maintains the boat's engineered performance and reliability.
- Will this part fit my ARROW boat? — This silicon tube is specifically designed for the UDI RC ARROW 65cm brushless RTR boat. It integrates seamlessly into the ARROW's unique water cooling system that feeds cooling water through the draft tube and motor jacket. Before installation, verify you own an ARROW model, as this tube is engineered specifically for that platform.
- Does this come with installation instructions? — This is a replacement component, not a complete assembly. If you need detailed installation guidance, refer to your ARROW's user manual or contact RC Model Shop for support. The tubing connects to the cooling system ports in a straightforward manner, though specific attachment points depend on your boat's exact configuration.
