Thank you Diegoboy!

its my first scratch build,maybe next one will be better!

now im thinking what motor to use
the manual recomend a 820 but i reallly dont want to use three 7,2v packs..even fits in that hull..2 packs would be OK...

cheers!!!

unbelievable!!!! awesome......

[jingalls007]

fantastic build!!!! I chuckled a few times, once when I saw the tiny dials and switches on the dash board and second the anchor and almost perfectly fashioned rope and knot that accompany the anchor. Great build, awesome detail!!

Dang, That has to be one of the best scratch builds I have ever seen anybody do in one evening! Molto bene, topolino. Very hands on, must admit!

[rcboatfan]

[topolino]

Thank you Friends!!!

i stop the building for instance,because im waiting some V rails to finish the hull...missing just one strip !!

Are you looking for scale speed or FAST? It would of course be much cheaper to use a brushed motor and ESC. I would suggest a graupner 700 or similar for example. It's big enough to have plenty of power. Your boat is pretty big size.

im thinking in some between this..

or this

the cost guard is more closer what i want because is heavy,but could be a little faster.. i think for scale looks,heavy boats navigate more

My boat is pretty big size..and pretty big weight too!!!

my "real" boat its super heavy..for that reason a did my "rc" boat heavy too..in fact ,with all acessories and z-drive weights about almost 10 pounds (4,5 kilos)

that with 33 inches Length,14 inches wide...


i prefer brushed..idont want a 800 because it is 20v...14 would be better..

do you think that a 700 is powerful enought? or 700 neodyme? or other..

thank you for support!!

cheers!!

It looks like this motor would do the trick:

and this speed controller:

You should talk to Steven at Offshore Electrics about how many cells (nimh) to use and which propeller, etc.

This motor and drive system may also be a good choice:

I'm not much of an expert on brushed systems as everything I do is brushless. However, for a scale boat like you have, brushed is certainly the way to go, you can have 'reverse', and won't be so expensive.

Good luck! You have built a beautiful model. You should be very proud!

Thank you Sailr!!

im just waiting Steven tell me if that motor fits the mounting ..then i will order

and cos is my first try..yes,im very proud
