cool stuff in here. nice works



I made that one after seeing diesels

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

This was my first boat LOL and now she doubles as a mini v and a rescue rig! Cheap, easy, and it works....Plus pull it out of the pvc and its still usable like the day it was new.

Traxxas xl-5 esc
duratrax vr3 380 motor
2s 1300mah lipo

im seeing some great ideas here guys! i love how everyone has something a little different.... im surprised none of the manufacturers have come up with a RTR rescue rig....

If you're looking for a reliable rescue rig without making a huge specacle of things, you might consider using a mini boat with a ProBoat "baby duck gaff". Horizon Hobby sells the gaffs seperately and best of all, you can attach them to any boat you may already have. Click the link to check out my setup, it's so small I keep the entire rig in my boat tool bag. I've tested it out, it works like a champ with very little customization necessary.

how does the gaff work? do you attach something to it?

Springer Tug

550 motor
2 esc- one for motor/ one for water pump
2- 6v 4500ma SLA
50mm 5-blade brass prop in a kort nozzle/ will turn on a dime.


I've pushed in small electrics to 60" gassers. This is my most reliable boat and probably my favorite. Gets more attention than anything else I own.

I can't see how this would work. Can you explain a little more?

Proboat RC duck and how the whole setup works

i actually kinda like the duck decoy with gaff. i dunno about over 100 bux tho. maybe a mini c used and get the gaff....

what's the water pump used for?

[DyrtyByrd]

i seen some where somebody had one made from a boogie board looked very interesting anyone else ever seen this

what's the water pump used for?

Im guessing to pump coolant thru the system?

what's the water pump used for?

It's used to cool the motor and esc's. It's from a swiffer wet jet and works great. It's probably an over kill, but I like to keep everything cool. Since it has it's own esc the pumps action is linear to the throttle. At low rpms there's less flow and as the throttle increases so does the flow.

ahh, makes sense with the low speed of rescue rigs...

[dana]

its cool because its a jet drive, so there is no chance of getting the lines tangled in the prop. i can see how something that simple would work well

Im running a proboat apache dana, been the only boat i havent had to work on and has the steering rudder on shaft, cant beat it for the money
