And one last one here Joey

Hello to all. I am slowing putting together parts and accessories to complete the classic Dumas Donzi Z65 Tournament Fisher. Its an old flea market score form years ago and im finally at the point I want to get this thing wet. First thing I want to do is get the business end built. Motors, ESC's etc... The boat came with nothing in the hull, I have the correct running gear but im at an impasse with the dual brushless choice, batteries and ESC's for decent scale performance and reliability. I have experience with R/C aircraft and cars so I have a little knowledge about the electronics but not so much when it comes to swinging scale props in the water with a large boat (49") and how NOT to set it on fire while doing so!!! There has been some discussion on other forums about this particular subject but all lines have gone dead since 2017! Anyone out there that may have some updated news on successful set ups in this application, I would appreciate your help!

Thank you in advance, Justin

Hi. How do you know where to make the holes to install the hardware ?
I am planing to build a delta force 35, but I do not know how to install the hardware ?

Help Guys! I am building a scratch version of the 16-1/2 Foot Lyman Outboard. It is 1/6 scale 33 inches long, 12 inches wide and 6 inches tall. I purchased the OSE TFL B54210 outboard motor and found it way too short to reach the water if the engine is mounted at scale height. Is there any shaft-extension kits available? any other ideas?

I adopted a partially built ML Boatworks boat. Need help verifying what kit it is so I can start doing research on what my next steps might be.

I am a total rookie here and pretty excited to take on this project.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to convert a 55" nitro hydro to electric and would like some help with powering it without breaking the bank. Thanks!

Newbie here. Am I in the right place?

*Very* much beginner here with RC boats. I want to power a particular boat which doesn't currently have a motor (it's just the wood model). I was pretty excited to find this website, but after some looking I'm not sure I'm in the right place?

All you cats seem to be speed demons! And my ship doesn't look like any of your boats. What *I've* got is a 24" wood model of a Viking longship. I don't need it to go fast, I just want to be able to sail it in relatively calm water and have some steering ability.

Is adding a motor etc something this forum can advise me on? (Besides, you know, "just get a new ship" or "build a new one that already comes with a motor").

Or if this isn't the right place, maybe someone knows a forum that deals with models more like mine?

TIA for any advice.

I do not know of any scale vessel forums but there are a few groups on Facebook. I myself appreciate all forms of building and modifications. There would be stuff Thru Billing’s Boat products. Motor and Esc would be along the lines of a crawler truck I would think. Low RPM per volt supplied.

It just dawned on me that RCGroups has a section so ignore my previous comments and just go and join here: https://www.rcgroups.com/scale-boats-55/

Recently purchased a 95% complete Dumas Scarab 42? Hull kit. No hardware. I have a hull and a deck and no idea how to attach them. I?m guessing epoxy. What do I need to do inside before that step ? And links or videos I can watch. Of a similar boat or even a scarab ? Also Not sure how to add pictures

You're all welcome to join me on my HPR project :)

I've modified a lot of RTR boats in the past, but never a new HPR hull.

[YOOLWINMARINE]

what is the size of boat? And what hull material? Fiberglass or aluminum?
Now I am wondering which boat to choose?
Fiberglass rib boat or aluminum rib boat? Would like listen to opinions.
