right im renovating an original Happy Hunter. Surprisingly its in good condition. normal problems, parts falling off due to age, dust, needs new prop shaft grease etc. my big problem is it has a Robbe fr500 inside. ir comes in 2 parts. looks like a control box and a speed controller, as it has 20amp written on it.
questions,,,,,,,,i can find no info but plenty of pics!
what does this unit exactly do
what voltage is needed to run it ie 6v or 12v
what are the robbe motors (geared) were in this boat (labels fallen off)
what would the lighting system run on?

hi klunk i cant help with the f500 unit although i will look into it
the motors will be 12volt geared 5;5:1 ''orange gearboxes'' navys as we call them
the lighting if its the robbe bulbs fitted ie the wire to the bulbs are they a thin yellow color? if so these are normally 6volt
all the best with the re build

cheers that a start.
been looking in the boat. the rudder servo is marked up as the esc. it does have a bow register as well.
