Fellas, I could do with picking your collective brains if poss. I am nearing the end of fabrication on my boat [thankfully!] and it's getting to the point when I can start assembly, [which I reckon will only take a few hours]. However, I still have a few bits to source and as this is my first build of any kind, I could do with some recommendations.
Firstly, which receiver battery pack make would you recommend and where to source from? I am going to be running a cheapy Futaba Attack 2ER and I need to run a 6v Rec. pack of some kind but which make come at a sensible price for power/duration levels?
Additionally, I am going to need a charger. Will I be likely to need to charge my pack between races in which case a 12v charger is favourite, or do you think I can get away with one charge per event? Whichever, which charger would you recommend and please bear in mind that it mustn't break the bank!
Finally, I was thinking of running a bag tank and so I got a 2litre tank from Nimrif when I bought the hull. It seems far too big for the job so first off, what size tank would you recommend for racing and am I going to need any special kit to fit the thing and refill it between heats? I reckon a 1litre tank should be able to fit between my stringers under the radio box, but will it be big enough for racing?
Sorry about the Spanish Inquisition but I am a n00b when it comes to model boats. Full size ones are no problem, but these things are a different ball of wax!
Over to the cognoscenti.......
