Greetings to Gribeauval and Spongie, RTR lifeboat converters extraordinaire, how about a few details Spongie old bean to show us how its done, I am on the verge of retrieving my old attempt from on top of the fridge freezer, have got a Graupner mini waterjet, HiTec HS-81 mini servo for steering, Topgun ETRONIX 25A brushless ESC and small 12 pole brushless and radio on/off toggle switch all installed, the steerable jet nozzle protrudes through the modified transom above an approx 4x8cm, 4mm ply platform which mounts onto two aluminium rails screwed parallel to and inside the bilge keels for rear crash protection...now I might have a last attempt to get the radio, ESC and motor to talk to one another, if unsuccessful :embarrassed:will sell to anyone who fancies a bash?!
Keep us informed you RTR converters out there, the little Severn is a real cracker crying out for all sorts of conversions, and a smashing reminder of the sterling work of the good folks of the RNLI.
'Til next time,
Andy
