In about 2002/3 I built the Model Slipway Yorkshireman tug which is still going strong. Built with Decaperms etc
I have now decided the time is right to do another and I am getting the
Model Slipway Tamar RNLI boat (2 x 40mm prop), so I am on the lookout for build photos on these forums and elsewhere - I have some already but pointers to more would be appreciated.
I have also decided to go brushless and my initial shopping list looks like:
- 2 x Turnigy D3536/8 1000KV Brushless Outrunner Motor, 430watts, OR Turnigy D3542/6 1000KV Brushless Outrunner Motor 665watts
- 2 x Hobby King brushless car ESC 2S-4S 60A w/Reverse (7.4v-14.8V)
- Action Electronics P40E Marine Motor Mixer
- 2 x Turnigy Heavy Duty 5000mAh 3S 60C Lipo Pack
- Bow thruster?
Does this seem reasonable?
Which motor of the two above (assuming either is appropriate)?
It will be controlled through a Frsky Taranis X9D RC system so I have great flexibility on setting max power, power curves etc.
