Hi All
« on: June 28, 2011, 11:29:28 am »
Hi everybody

I'm new to RC modling and building my first speed boat (well any boat for that matter) from scratch, with no real clue of what I'm doing or how to do it, just making it up as i go along.
brought a hull (plastic pre mould jobby) off ebay.
got some motors, 2 esc, radio gear. just waithing for the batts to arrive.
Thought I'd start cheap to see if i can get in to this as a hobby.

But thought id join a forum if i ever need any (advice and i prob will)

Thanks in advance
Ross
