Philippine Bangka inspired scratch built rc boat.

[tagasagwan]

My friend Bonie "bonididit" Yao asked me to post his Philippine Bangka inspired rc boat.


- built from scratch using materials just lying around. Plywood, epoxy and QDE paint.
Plus about a month's on and off work, a meter long Philippine inspired banca is born.

- authentic bamboo outriggers and supports.

- not yet completely done but it's a working model with entry-level TEU104 esc and basic 540 brush-type motor
driving a 3/16 cable drive housed in DIY drive-line components (strut, drive shaft, drive dog, ferrule, rudder assembly, tiller arm etc.)
plus an Octura plastic prop.

I hope you like it guys! Thanks!

yeah! it definitely needs some people in it. My friend is still looking for some characters that will fit inside. So far all he sees is a Batman character! lols!

Hello buddy, perhaps some WWE wrestlers would be the right size/scale. They are about 1/10 scale.

Still a work in progress Shawn. How about the complete marvel characters in there? hahaha
