Default Robbe Odin Tug Kit bashed One of a kind!

Hey fellow boaters,
Just wanted to post some pics of my Robbe Odin Tug that I built 15 years ago. I just got it back running and thought I'd share it with you. This tug has operating lights and a rotating radar boom. It is contolled by a Spectrum DX7 with a AR 7000 reciever. Stock motor that came with the kit. I think it is a 1000. I have a 12 volt 9 amp sealed lead acid battery that works the motor, kortz nozzle and the ESC. The ESC is a Proboat 50 waterproof made for a brushed motor. The lights and radar boom are controlled by a 6 volt 3 amp lead acid. Run time on the boat with proper throttle management is around 45 mins to an hour. I hand built the wheel house and altered some of the kit. It has enough power to push a small rowboat with two men in it! Enjoy!
