Refurbishing my 27 year old RC Boat and I need help!

Bill you are so nice to help this guy out and not be like others who call it a pos, how rude. Thank you for actually contributing to this thead instead of criticizing. Kudos to you!

Haha why don't you build one too....

If you want to relive your childhood with this boat, you can clean it up and put it up as a decoration in your shop. Make some new memories with something else. This boat will perform about as good as a proboat duck with a brushless system in it. Hey, it's a free thread to comment and this is my opinion, like it or not. I mean not to offend man, just being realistic.

Why arguing on a stupid toy? Thanks everybody for their comments. And Dana, I got your point. But here is the thing: cost of getting this toy ready for water will be max. 40$. Rest of the products (ardupilot, gps, lipo cells, 3dr telemetry kit, wireless cam) will be used in my other projects also. For me, spending 40$ for refurbishing this boat is acceptable. After minimising the lag of command given by the joystick and implementing more precise aupilot features, I will definitely go for a much better hull with high power motors and etc. And this boat here we talk about, will allways be ready, if I connect ardupilot and etc. back to it. This toy does not look good and also not fancy. Definetaly not good for decoration.

Sorry man, felt the need to defend myself a bit. I'll shut up about it now. Post some vid when it's running )
