Help a newbie
« on: June 01, 2011, 08:19:51 am »
Hi im new to boats but not to rc I have had cars for about 15 years i have had this boat in my garage for about 15 years. I have got a spare transmitter reciver plenty of servos and various 540 size motors.
I would like some advice on this like what size motor and prop to use and if it looks like anything needs changing its 25" long and 12" wide. Also if any one has any idea how old it is or what it is.
Its some thing for me to play about with while i build my micro hydro.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
