Friends.. its time to rain.. before rain starts, my usual wandering through all scrapyards and junkyards.. so sackful of motors.. lots of wheels.. parts.. and yes ample of scraped toys.. and toy radio sets.. time to make ample of crafts.. easily.. so here is my new simple micro tug boat, is 4 inches long and two inches wide.. more clearly a simple boat from an RC toy car.. powered by two micro motors from scraped micro servos.. with gears.. no rudder.. instead just added a simple centrifugal thrust vector impeller.. with a bottle cap and foam board impeller.. powered by two pen light cells.. fun.. its raining..

Your build rate is phenomenal, another boat hits the water! Good to see you back with another cute craft and well turned out too.

Does the rudder 'rotate' (like a prop) Krishna ? Schottle style , whatever it does it's VERY effective

Hello!!!
LOL woow really a good work, congratulations, you should have a lot of fun with her
Two questions, how hoes the rudder works? you made her by inspiration or have a design or plan???

Best regards

thank you Friends.. its so fun with her.. can operate even from a wash basin..

the rudder surface is fixed.. and i made a centrifugal thrust pump, with a bottle cap, that holds a simple foam board disc, with four simple blades are glued.. you can see an opening at the front side of the cap, to expel the water, through either side, when the disc rotates either direction.. when disc rotates, water shoots out one direction, makes an thrust reaction that turns the boat.. so effective in all crafts.. and toy radios works only as on and off, this arrangement is so easy, but works well..  we can also make simple crafts, while turning servos as gear boxes, in continues mode.. with hobby radio.. its so easy..
