This is my first Tug and in fact my first scale boat build - TID Tug Plan - MAR 2447 - 1:24 length 890mm Beam 220mm
I learnt many things from my first build (Vic Smeed Musketeer) one of those things was to get the hardware in your hands at the start of the build ! I didn't on that occasion but thankfully my Dremel saved the day and I was able to fit the motor after a lot of 'burring away' at Ply that save for the Dremel would have been virtually impossible
I have researched the builds on this site to prepare me for my TID build
the bar is set very high
This time I want to be in a position to have the Motor, ESC, Battery, Coupling, Shaft, & Propeller before I commence the build
There must be a lot of these Tugs about, built and sailed by those with far more knowledge and experience than me - can you guys help me please ?
I would like my Tug to be powerful
What motor, esc, battery, coupling, shaft & propeller should I source ? and where from ?
My build will be starting in about four weeks - another thing my first build taught me was that not all things are available when you want them ! So I want to start sourcing the hardware now
Finally any tips about the build ?
Thanks in advance Clive
