First of all, hello, I'm a new member from northern Indiana. My primary RC modeling interest has been the northern Pacific fishing boats. Iv'e built tugs, mahogany speedboats, fishing boats, cabin cruisers, but having lived in Seattle and on Vashon Island, Washington, Iv'e seen and photographed many of the Northwest and Alaska style fishing boats, trollers, purse seiners--
It has been awhile since Iv'e build one with a simple basic 6 volt system, powered by a 6 volt gell cell. All of my builds in recent years have utilized a speed control designed for a quick charge ni-cad type battery. Is it still possible to get an electronic speed control, for a 6 volt system, that will work without a separate set of batteries? One that uses the main battery power as it does with a ni-cad. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated---thanks
