all ive done to the baot so far is do repairs an made the rigging an flags an painted 60% of the boat . re wired the boat an made charging points more easy without taking the batterys out . as this has four batterys
also has sound an soon to be lights an smoke

all ive done to the baot so far is ......

What batteries are in her?
Bob
-
2300 lipo batteries x 2
2 x hytec gold speed controllers
1 receiver battery and 1 for sound
-
Does she have any other ballast?
She must be an old build as the gold ESC's havent been made for some time.

I canrt find any . So im thinking the motors an stuff inside is keeping the
Model up right . But ive noticed when opening up full throttle the boat rocks alot . So im thinking itz too high
In the water . I had add 45grams on one side to stop it leaning to the left
I mean she goes really fast .which is strange for a warship .
With the old speed controllers . Ive found that when i open the trottle up 2clicks itss
Going really fast . Could this be the old speed contollers ???
-
Ok abit of a lose end . Ive got some 1.5mm leds an i want to wire them up tp my ship
I have 5channel controller .
My channels are now taken up bar channel 5 . I dont really want to use a servo
But more like a switch . That when i flick my swtich on my controller they stay on
Any ideas people
-
one question i forgot to ask , will cyanocrylate be ok to use on the fibre glass hull ??
-
The 2 x LiPo batteries should be a bit light for her.
Might be worth cheching the waterline up to the top of the boot topping.
For this type and size of hulls I usually have enough draught to fit some sheet lead along the keel inside the hull.

Hi shadowfleet.
RE: Ive found that when i open the trottle up 2clicks its Going really fast . Could this be the old speed

Erm Hello!!! its a WWII german destroyer you have its meant to go fast like 36Knots. The battle ships are the
ones that go a bit slower you have obviously not see a destroyer cut through the water. A destroyer will heel over
when turning at speed.
With a narrow beam hull like this they are prone to a bit of rock n roll. The general consensus is keep the top
weight down, if used a lead acid battery should be placed flat. You could always try fitting some rolled lead as
internal bilge keels.
Its a Deans kit you have, contact them for parts There may be some brass etch fittings for it now.
click on these links it will keep you busy for quite some time.
