hello there all just wondering what servos i would need for my boat its 64 inch long 18inch wide 8inch deep an the rudders underneath near propeller have got some but there only for rc cars woz wondering do i need bigger 1s havnt really got a clue!!??

[Martin (Admin)]

What type of boat is it?
Race, scale, tug, liner?

Either something bigger or a high torque one.  A boat that big and wide and deep implies a big rudder.  Whatever type of servo, a solid fixing is a good idea.

Hobbyking.com are a good company for cheap servos.

A normal servo will take care of the throttle side of things but you need a jumbo servo for the rudder or keeping the boat under control may be a problem I use a Hi tec servo digital jobby which cost me around £50.00 at the local hobby shop. Im sure you can get a jumbo servo cheaper if you look round. Now i know there are some very high power servos standard size servos around but i don't know much about them and don't use them. There is a nice big motor and metal gears in a servo then it should be OK to hold a boat that size.
Oh yes I run them on a 6v Rx pack as well so loads of power from the battery's always helps.
Take a look at the BMPRS web site to see if we are racing somewhere near you soon! We are a friendly bunch who are always glad to help out.

Take alook at this http://www.bmprs.co.uk/calendar.html these are the dates for the BMPRS. I think the Maidstone date maybe OMRA Z class chaps. They run very small IC engine offshore boats.
Re comming to have a look and chat with the BMPRS no prob and who knows when you get your boat going you may want to join us for £10.00 and race with us in D class. (petrol engines up to 50cc class)
