Default 1/35 Italeri Elco 80´ PT boat RC conversion

After some year of building RC semiscale warbirds I decided to build some RC boat. I´ve deciced for Elco 80´ PT boat. I bought Italeri´s plastic kit three years, but I was very busy with the warbirs.
I won´t write here how to complete this plastic kit and I´ll skip this part and show you how I convert it into RC model.
I bought PE ammo belts from Eduard and two MP JET shafts ( length 255 mm, M4). In the picture you can see what kind of glue I use for this kit.
