post rescue rigs here

I run mostly mini's, so don't need anything elaborate. This is a toy ferry boat that I converted to a rescue rig. I took apart, beefed up the wiring/drives, installed flashing multicolored lights on it for better visibility (smoother water at dusk and dawn) and a powerful little led spotlight. It is quite maneuverable, it reverses one prop for tight turns. I eventually attached a removable 'pugil stick' pusher to it for easier recovery. I had some vids of it in operation but recently (mistakenly) erased them. Here's a vid of the lights.

Weaver rails and scope mount aren't just for rifles.

I especially like the hood ornaments. Intricate framework too. Nice job!

A friend getting out of the hobby recently gave me a Vac-U-Tug and I made a bracket to adapt the arms I had from my Villain rescue boat.
The arms attach with PVC screw unions so its a lot easier to transport. It was quite surprising how powerful the thing is, without the arms it wheelies across the water and can push faster than the old Villain rig.
