I tried searching and didnt see nothin.


Just got done doing the brushless conversion on the airboat, 3200kv outrunner 30amp esc 5x5 prop and 11.1v lipo, just did a quick test drive in the drainage ditch, the thing is a blast, not sure on the top speed yet.
Hey wimusky how fast is that thing? Looks sweet.

Thanks. Not really sure. I would guess in the 30's. It only has a 3.5cc nitro outboard. Looks like you're into electrics. I've seen some of those really scream......

Yes one of my 1st rcs was a traxxas tmax it was a beast but the fuel prices kept going up and those nitro engines are so tempramental, i went electric after that, much simpler in my opinion, especially with brushless setups putting out so much power. That shallow v fighter runs mid 20s with a modified brushed motor, im looking into brushless conversions for that and the outboard bass boat. Should be interesting.

Cool, so they just have a single servo for steering, does it move the rudder and sail, or is there a seprate one for the sails? I dont know much about sail boats, lol but i guess the lighter the better.

Re: RC boating?

Separate servo for sails.

I haven't sailed these in many years. They are kinda boring unless you race which is probably the same for the powerboats as well.

I like my RC helicopters, don't know that I could get into boats, now if I could do down scaled Unlimited Hydros that might be fun.

Re: RC boating?

I have RC cars, RC gas planes, RC Electric planes, RC gliders.

My favorite are the slope soaring gliders. My garage looks like a hangar.

But I am way more into biking...it also looks like a bike shop.

I am working on getting a Gas Turbine RC copter, those things are amazing, but you goof, you loose a lot of money!

They've had those for many years.....

Re: RC boating?

I know they have had them for years.

Re: RC boating?

Ya I also have the cars and aircraft, have a blade mcx and parkzone vapor. I cant quite get down the controls for the cp helis. With the boats the more u got gointhe better, Its also fun ti have waves/wakes to jump.

Re: RC boating?

I still have three planes. Kids cam along and kinda change things. But WOW how cheap it is now compared to years ago. The electrics are really cool for backyard stuff.

Re: RC boating?

I had a couple planes, and have been into cars forever. I did gas for awhile but electric is cleaner easier and sometimes faster. Lipo batts and brushless systems have made elec systems very nice.
