- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi Ned, Welcome aboard 👍
On my Sea Scout (little brother of the Sea Queen) I used silicon sealant (a la bathroom!) and a small brass screw in each corner. it had to be good cos I had the RX, RX battery and rudder servo tucked in there!
My boat was also started by Dad in the sixties. He had it free running with a Taycol Target and wet (very!) 6V lead acid cells. I upgraded to RC and Decaperm motor about 25 years ago and am currently restoring and converting to brushless 😲
Happy boating, Cheers Doug 😎Liked by Brucef102
Currently powered by 2 x 480 brushed on 11.1v, both motors independently controlled by 2 ESC but soon to be refitted with 2x 1000KV brushless.
Planes beautifully and with twin rudders turns on a sixpence!
- boatyChief Petty Officer 2nd ClassThat's an excellent running time for a fast model.
😀
It gives a great indication of what can be achieved with brushless motors.,
I'll have to try brushless motors in some of my fast scale boats. I only have one brushless powered model at present, this being the Proboat Blackjack 29 fast electric.
Boaty
Powered by a 1000kv brushless on 11.1v, its quick across the water and very stable.
I sail with the Potteries MBC in Stoke.
- circle43nauticalChief Petty Officer 2nd ClassBRAVO ZULU! Nice boat, it reminds me of my brother's 13' 1956 Penyan that he completely restored back in the 90s. Love the mahogany btw.
HAVE A SAFE RC BOATING DAY
FAIR WINDS & FOLLOWING SEAS
GOD BLESS AMERICA
- jenteckRecruitVery nice model was it a kit or scratch built thank again
excellent video alsoLiked by CraigRobotham - CraigRobothamPetty Officer 1st ClassThese are originally an I.C kit 1/6 scale , there is a company in Germany still making them believe they are called MHZ. I think I've scene them in 1/8 and 1/35 scale too . Also other builders have used water jet drives on films I've watched . This one is running on brushless motor normal prop and direct drive as all my boats have so far . Keeps the cost of spare parts down %uD83D%uDE0E%uD83D%uDC4D
- sharpy1071Chief Petty Officer 2nd ClassThank you figtree7nights, up for sale now!! it's stupid on 4 cells, mad on three but behaves very well on two. I sail it mainly on three cells as I have more 3 than anything else.
- figtree7ntsAdmiralGreat looking American Enterprise, I remember 30 yrs ago or so I had the kit but lost it during a move. what a shame such a great looking boat! 😭
- sharpy1071Chief Petty Officer 2nd ClassThank you figtree7nts. it is a great looking boat there is no doubt about it, wish it were mine, handles very nice at speed and slow.
I put in a new brushless motor and speed controller runs on 7.2 v batteries
This is modelled from the interceptor42 range by Safehaven Marine. This is my first full build of a model, having only done restorations previously.
Model length is some 42 inch, beam of 12 inch. (106cm x 31cm)
Power is by twin E-Max BL2826 Brushless motors and 1, 80amp speed controller running on 2 NiMH 7.2 volts.
Fitted with Action electronics Police siren, and with detailed rotating blue lights and searchlights.
I sail this at Cold Knap Lake Barry Vale of Glamorgan, and I am the Founding member of the Vale Of Glamorgan Model Boat Club.
Also included is my Portland Pilot interceptor 42 which was the original prototype from Models by Design which I purchased and added lighting etc, this runs on Brushless motor running on 12Volt lead acid.
