    What type / amp rating controller are u using?
  • jelley_babyChief Petty Officer 1st Class
    it's running 2 x 50amp resin sealed cheap controllers purchased on Ebay, but the motors only draw about 15Amp maximum with the Como-Drill motors, so really anything that would handle 20Amps would work. Look on Ebay there are plenty of people selling these controllers at about £20. the reason for TWO controllers is to allow the motors to run One Forward and One Reverse the life boat will then turn in its own length. You could just run a single controller and rely on the rudders to turn the model. Hope that this helps "Deswelham" regards Graham

This Flower Class Corvette should of worked out a great build (It cost enough) Once building I discovered wrong bits, bits missing instructions almost non existent, there was a diagram with everything numbered, but know of the actual parts had such numbers, but working almost blind what to you think of it...My second build?

    HI there, I obtained it in a garage clearance. I am going to get it up and running and considering the level of detail with controls etc I believe it will be stable. (I hope!!!) 😑

    HI Rooky

    This is a bit late, just found your question. You model looks like an RAF whale back rescue target launch, from the 50's era
