Hi,
I’ve just got myself a Seaport tug and inspired by the amazing rebuilds I’ve seen on the forum, I want to have a go myself but keep the costs as low as possible My question is about the electrics. I have an old 2 ch Sanwa Saber outfit which includes, servo, receiver, battery pack etc and I’m wondering if the batteries will give a reasonable running time - it’s a 6v nicad BEC pack - or do I really need to get something else? The receiver says power supply 4.8 v to 8.4 v so I’m assuming that the original batteries with the boat is too much. Another thought - could I use the original batteries to power the motor and the Sanwa pack for the receiver? Not being very well up on these things, any help would be gratefully received! Thanks in anticipation.
Don
