Default RE: Has Anyone Converted A Plastic Model To R/C?

Tommygun,

Yes, there are several kits that readily adapt to R/C. Some are easier than others. An example would be in my gallery. The IJN Yamato. This is a 1/200th scale ship (50+") that I have converted to R/C. It was not hard but I did have to make my own propshafts, props, servo mounts etc. A little tinkering to make everything right and it works fine. I even added some sounds to give it even more authenticity. The sky is the limit. Another good candidate is Revells 1/72th U-Boat. There is a link somewhere on RCU with a gentleman that converted the plastic model over to a R/C sub....neat!!!

In short, what you can build and operate will depend on your imagination and creativity. Go for it!

Hope this helps

Pete
