RE: 80' Elco PT Boat

I'm not sure where you'll find a 2+ hp auto fan motor. At 12V & 10A (guess) you're only getting 120W, which is about 1/6 hp. Not nearly enough. Even Scooter motors only go to about 1 hp.
My vote...

Try the Herreshoff museum:

RE: 1/6 - 1/8 scale PT boat

Sounds like a cool project.

Looked at Surpluscenter for an engine lately?

To water cool you need to have new tops made = $$$. I'm thinking a couple of diesels could possibly be aircooled...

RE: 80' Elco PT Boat

I think your weight estimate is accurate. The original displaced approximately 50t - which at 1:10 scale is 110lbs.

In situations like these, I use the full size boat power rating and convert to...

Back to the Monitor:

@ PL09...

RE: USS Monitor ironclad

Dear Deathwish,

First, I don't think it's fair to hijack this thread.

Second, please make an effort to use proper English.

Third, use whatever you like. If you can build from Mr....

RE: USS Monitor ironclad

Very impressive to convert that tiny kit to RC. Well done.

As to emailing plans...

I'd like to remind anyone reading this, that sharing my plans is a violation of the agreement as well as...

RE: ProBoat P.T. 109 leaks!

Sorry to hear you're having issues with the PT Boat, Bob.

In my experience, water leaking through stuffing boxes = a trickle. I'd be surprised if, as you say, you ended up with 1" freeboard is...

RE: Need info on RC P.T. 109s

Bob,

Thanks for the kudos!

You're right, it was my long-winded way of saying "wait and see":)

You are right about the anti-fouling paint, it's that "iron-oxide red" (aka rust).

RE: Need info on RC P.T. 109s

Bob,

First, congrats! I think you made a good choice.



I'm not sure it will benefit from a third motor. I'd say if you'll find it runs well enough on two, don't mess with it. By adding...

RE: Need info on RC P.T. 109s

Hi,

In my mind the three-motor model is WAY over-priced. Keep in mind it is quite a bit smaller (1:31 scale vs 1:24 for the pro-boat).

I'd think of it this way: for an additional $430...
