Hello
We recommend Martin at Westbourne Model Centre and Jerome at SHG Marine Models both supply brushless motors, ESCs etc.  for this model and others.
Their contact details are in the Traders Directory.
Hope above helps.

Hi,
If I stick with Graupner Eco 600s and to be honest I great adversary of charging around the ponds, I wondered whether a 6V/7.2V or even 12v lead to plod around on, anyone got an thoughts?
I know there heavy.

Hi Rich,
as you know I plan to run brushless motors in my 1/12th scale Tamar.These will give me a scale speed if required.I wont want it galloping around the pool all the time,but would be able to give it a realistic tweak when required.Suggest you look at Kinmels video,and possibly contact him for advice?
