Picked up my second hand 34'' barge today. Fiberglass hull with wood deck, needs a bit of tlc but came with batteries, speed controller, motor. Slight issue with motor as I could not get it to run with my TX and RX-rudder worked fine, power was getting to the speed controller, but the motor would not run. Was going to try a Tamiya controller I have but decided to remove the motor and have a good look-the problem seems to be a broken wire from the controller to the motor, bodged it and it worked okay, will fix the wiring issue. Need to add some sealent to the bottom of the wood that holds the motor casing as this is loose, the torque from the thing has loosened it, also need some better screws to hold the motor case to the wood as these had worn loose. All in all a very heavy and robust boat with a few detailing bits, a anti-slip floor made to cover up the green woodwork and other bits she should be a fine boat.
Some piccies.
