RE: Help with a Chris Craft Runabout

RE: Need help please

...just my opinion....

Your opinion is correct. Without gearing, those motors are future landfill. I would use gearing with what ever motor you decide upon.

Let's get some more comments...

RE: glue for robbe montega

Indeed, most epoxies refuse to bond to plastic. One exception is Milliput. You can use it for a gap filler, sculpting or strengthening fillets. Just not as the main glue for the basic hull.

RE: Dumas 36

Check on RC Groups. It's a great boat. But it can be a bit intimidating. Have you ever built a "woodie" before?

RE: MACK Model Products Gearbox

Thanks for asking and for the information. A truck transmission in a boat? Why not. I just mounted Electrifly's sailplane (2.5:1) gear in a new warship.

RE: MACK Model Products Gearbox

The gearbox you might be referring to (model 1541) appears to be constructed like the other gearboxes with oillte bearings. But I would ask MACK to confirm that. If he was hesitant to recommend...

The folks at MACK know what they are doing. Perhaps they can refer you to someone who has used that gearbox in a hydroplane setup?

RE: Need some advice/help on electrical work on PT 109

Since I can not view the photos at work here, I want to ask if you have an in-line fuse somewhere in the system. If not, you'll want to add one. Especially if you convert to a Proboat ESC. The...

RE: Need some advice/help on electrical work on PT 109

hansvonpensch is 100% correct. Get rid of the old ESC. It is a mechanical type and may no longer work very well. The Proboat is fine and the Viper brand is also a good choice. As for "go power",...

You might also consider the Traxxas 14v Marine Titan motor. Good efficiency for the amount of thrust. As for the ESC, research all the various brands, Electronize, Traxxas, Novak, and Jomar. I...

RE: A good beginner boat kit?

Revell Corvette

That is a worthy choice. I have seen enough Lindberg PT109s to last a while. (I have one as well) The corvette is a bit less common and easier to add RC gear.
