FLJ, blimey, even I could understand the basics of that explanation. thanks for that.
I never thought I'd see that phrase again...Mark/Space. That takes me back to early R/C books and the ancient RCM&E magazines I have since No 1, not that I could ever understand much of it.
Being british made also explains why they're apparently expensive, but I imagine very high quality. I would certainly consider one of the cheaper end if, as I hope, my old redundant minidrill motors aren't too high draw (a little one and a typical "buggy" size motors)
Would your ESCs work on my Taycol Supermarine motor, now I have a circuit for wiring it to go backwards?
DickyD, I have some DigiMac and a Mini-hex outfit (provided my son can find it!)
Barry M, I'd love to find a Fleet or a Launch Link set or best of all a Skyleader!
Perhaps my attitude to the hobby doesn't sit well with all you guys who take it so very seriously it seems.
But that's fine. If you love all the tech. stuff, good for you for even understanding it.
I don't so I just want to use the stuff I always did. I used to have a Bob's board in a little speedboat and it seemed to work fine. my brother now has it in Australia. he first bought it when he was a teenager, had hours and hours of fun with it on any bit of water bigger than a puddle and it still works on a buggy type motor (550?)
He saved up and bought his own Acoms gear, which also still works.
I am curious about all the new stuff, but I can't help that curiosity morphing into wondering whether there isn't a touch of one-upmanship about it all.
That's what makes me sceptical to some extent.
I see no reason for some people to get a bit aerated about it though. It is only playing with toy boats after all when we get right down to it.
Having said that I'd probably defend my Rivas, Miss America X and Miss Britain III as scale models if someone called them toys, but you know what I mean
I've come back to boats as a laugh using my old, old stuff. For me, that's the fun part of it.
My sailing models ..well that's another story when I get cracking with them.
