Wow thanks for all the info guys.
Calimero.... thanks for reminding me about mixing different channels (I just never thought of that
) so easy with my transmitter too.
Steve, hi and thanks, I will be using a separate 12v battery for my smoke and sound units (one each on separate systems) for the very reason you mentioned but not fitted to a switch, instead they will be connected to my throttle, or a separate channel mixed with my throttle.
Geoff, there would be no "might catch fire" if I tried to build something electric it would simply just burn, so I took the easy route and paid through the nose for someone elses efforts. You say yours draws 3-6amps, well mine drew £££££££££ don't tell the OH or ill be in it with no paddle....
A one litre bottle of oil for £10 sounds better than some I have seen though, ill be checking that out. I will be interested to see how you get on with your smoker and mister, keep us updated....
All my recent efforts have been planking the hull, almost there now photos on my "Lena my first boat build" thread... Thanks again U2
OOps I almost forgot, my brushless motor has a 40amp esc, but as it was originally an aircraft esc I am not sure it can be set up to go in reverse! If this is possible can someone please tell me how if not could someone please recommend a 40amp esc that will reverse... thanks once more.... U2
