Hello Everyone
I've just bought from a mate the Model By Designs Tyne Lifeboat mouldings as yet unstarted and i'm pondering over motor choice, i've got a couple of torpedo 850 or should i go the brushless route, there's no hurry as i'm still plodding along with the Trent build, i'll be grateful for ideas
Thanks Dave

take it thats a 1/12 tyne lifeboat ? i biult two of them a few years ago , one of which was fully waterproof and radio controlled , i used twin motors supplied by model motors direct ( glastonbury somerset ) control via 2 esc s running four bladed contra rotating props which im sure were from rabosch ! as this model was made to operate in salt water everything was either brass or marine grade stainless steel . unfortunatly it was sold on to another club member in the bristol area , ( model was 47- 018 , max aitken III , full size vessel was stationed at bembridge isle of wight ) i can also give you the correct paint colours to use automotive sprays if you need them ?
