Dear all,
This is where I will be needing some (or a lot) of help please.
Electronics!!!!
Can I please ask for help in setting up/running an R/C boat?
My knowledge of the above is a three pin plug, lots of sparks if I get things wrong and a complete brain freeze if I am asked anything about said matter.
What I have made my mind up to get is a pack from Model Flight Accessories. This comprises a Torpedo 540 motor with mount. A forward-off-reverse speed controller, fused wired harness, servo linkage, propellor (which I will replace or try to make one, I think I will need one in the region of 45m/m dia), full compression. The motor gearing is 6:1 giving 1900 RPM from 12 volts.
I would really like to get some lights on this and if not too hard, perhaps a working winch if thats possible but not important. Obviously I will need batteries and a charger but have no idea what would be best.
In short, anything that one or some of you kind people can help me with, by way of a simple wiring plan and instructions and patience, plus a not too expensive R/C controller. I have looked at ACTion website and there are wiring plans on it but I am still not too sure about some of the meanings. I not sure what an ESC is.
I would really appreciate any advice.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Ron.
