Which motors for Waveney Lifeboat?
« on: August 01, 2012, 10:58:55 am »

Hi...
I am thinking of building the Billing 1/20th Waveney lifeboat... its probably a bit boring to you guys, having been around for a long time but I really like this boat and I fancy building a kit. Could anyone give me an idea of what size motors I should put in it?

Ah thanks... I haven't got the kit yet, so I haven't looked at any instructions.

Sorry, just realised that sounded wrong... I meant the model had been around a long time... not you guys!!

Anyway, just collected the kit and looking to buy the motors online... curiously there is no mention, that I can see, on the instructions of which motor to use... 380's seem hard to come by, I am assuming 400's would be OK.  Or I could go for brushless but I know nothing about brushless motors and wouldn't know what to buy!  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
