hello gents,
I built this tug yrs ago , when my shed burnt down,and I needed a simple design,as no tools, and i need the theorpy of the build , to smooth still frayed nerves
I never did get it to go right,and some unkind modellers called it the floating toilet!! not too my face !!
i never tried a 555 or better motors ,it was always under powered, w a slow reving telecom motor, only about 1000/1500rpm
what , i wanted too do was fit a barge on the front, w the larger battery in the barge, I had photos of a cat pontoon dredge to carry the battery,a small dredge.
also , has any-one though of building the original mother control tower , w 2 moto flotes on each side , all good food for thought, if this was done , the seperate flotes could be removable , or joined permanently to the mother control tower.
if I can get time , i will re-build my original moto flote
