Older propshafts with brushless motors
Hi Will, none of my vintage boats have oilers and still perform as they should, I usually use marine grease on my shafts, this works well for up to 5 or 6 weeks at a time. And as most of my fleet are over 40 years old I have not felt the ne …

Veron Huntsman 28 brushless belt driven
Thank you very much for your reply. I totally agree, the 28 is definitely a rarer version of Fairey and yours looks absolutely gorgeous. The Veron H28 is nice sized model. Yes it's big, but damn they look good on the water. I'm not going to …

I have occasionally ordered things, particularly books, from the US of A and have found that delivery is usually worse than from China. Parcels to America are often bad as well, apart from Customs sitting on stuff for weeks, Mr T has virtua …

This business of deliveries from China seem to be quite controversial. I try not to order anything if it is specified 'from China', but when I get so called UK suppliers specifying delivery dates a month or so away, I begin to wonder. I'm i …

Hi Doc. The issue might be the postal service from his location, my orders from MBB usually arrive within a couple of days if they are stock items and a extra day of so if I've ordered a 'special' prop-shaft or coupling that needs to be mac …

Nobody notice the 'deliberate' mistake? " I also recommend the use of an UBEC to supply the ESCs, disconnect ALL red leads from the plug at the RX. You can then wire the UBEC supply to the ESCs through one switch." That is nonsense of cours …

3 brushless motors on one channel ?
Hi CB, The absolute easiest way to do this, unless you like experimenting with electrics and wiring, has to be to use the P40E motor and rudder mixer board for up to 3 motors from Action Electronics. https://www.componentshop.co.uk/p40e-mar …

There are some useful articles in the 'How to' section of this website on basic wiring for the receiver, ESC and motor. It is also worth looking in the on-site shop as it has a range of fittings for the 1/16th scale Crash Tender. Graham93
