Need help in identifying a brushless outboard motor
If that doesn't work out, I have another friend that sells 3D printed outboard kits. His motors have the steering and tilt servos built in, so the motor is essentially self contained. I've seen them run, and they work well. He has done a re …

You have a nice powerful engine n esc. If hooked up n it runs backwards just swap one of the 3 wired to motor. It will make a cool outboard running on a 1200 ma or 2000 ma battery all u need is a servo to move engine left ir right otherwise …

suitable brushless motor for a tug ?
Hi again B..K, I expect you will be buying 2.4G radio. I have never moved away from 27 and 40 Mhtz as I now have nearly 2 dozen radio Tx's and even more rx's. When every one went to 2.4 RC the previous RC was going very cheaply. I have some …

Hi I expected something like that, I have a niece and others who live on and near Vancouver Island. I am sure you took the right decision etc. Do you have a convenient lake to sail on? I hear there are so many in Canada, I have never been a …

Well, I live in the middle of nowhere, with few options other than the internet. While I do sometimes by cheap chinese, I find that the descriptions of product often vague (if there is one), and build quality is often VERY poor. Long shippi …

suitable brushless motor for a tug ?
Hi I think I must be a complete cheap skate! For a similar boat I would buy a 5 pole 550 type brushed motor. About $15 max. Pitman motors are great but expensive, I have 3 or 4 but these were harvested from American computer tape decks befo …

Thanks guys. Bought the motor, ESC, mount, and connectors for $135CDN. Can't beat that. All I need now is a simple 4 channel R/C rig. My preference is for a 2-stick rig rather than the car type. And I'll take recommendations for that too!

I bought four Zippkits Springer tug kits from them. They are a reliable company with great service. (They are also located here in Florida.) As they laser etch plywood I asked them if they had any scrap sheets, they did, and I bought a pack …

Brushed versus brushless
if you go the lipo route make sure to have a fire extinguisher handy. But in all seriousness be carefull with lipo on both charging and discharging. I use gelcell batteries for my 42" tug for the weight I need as ballast. I still need an ad …

Brushed versus brushless
I am thinking about taking the plunge and replacing my 750 motor and 240aH ESC currently fitted to my Baby Bootlegger. (Recommended motor for the boat.) I fitted the boat with two 5,000 NIMH 7.2V batteries in parallel however would have lik …

Brushed versus brushless
Thanks Harry. I will investigate your suggestion with the motor combination. If I went that way I will need to double check the ballast of the boat. One advantage of the heavier batteries is that they do assist in that manner. The same with …

Brushless motor set up for SLEC Mr Tom
If you look at the kit on the SLEC web-site it tells you what you need! They even sell the motor and ESC. If you don't want to use their makes you could look for similar spec. motors from Turnigy, Surpass and Overlander. An alternative ESC …

The ad should say what is included with the purchase but you can buy complete sets of Tx and Rx or just individual Tx and Rx. You really need to see what is being offered and if unsure I would send the seller a message to ask exactly what i …

Brushless Motor problem
Thank you Doug. I will follow your recommendation. I will go for the two 2x 10 Cells connected in series. It is a big boat to push through the water. That should be a good bit of ballast too. Regards Chris

Hi Chris, I kinda figured that ballast came into the SLA equation there I do that with my larger warships (ca 1.5m) as well. I too prefer 'power ballast' to 'dead lead' if possible. Reckon you'll be pushed to find NiCads nowadays. They're r …

Doug, I went for the 12v SLA because it actually acted as good ballast. I will certainly consider your suggestion of the 14 NiCad batteries. that should be a good ballast as well. My speed controller is the Hawk 100A. I will keep you update …
