Hi

I just bought this 1:35 boat, and im looking for a way to power it.

I thought of using 2 broken digital servos for power.
If you glue the potentiometer in the center position, you can make the motors run each directien indefinatly, according to stick input.
This makes the "servo" a ESC itself.

I could buy a V-mixer you use on flying wings for my 2ch radio.
Then i can use differential thrust to turn the boat.

Or I could just use a Y harness, and install a working rudder....or 2

Only downside on usung a servo motor for power is that the resulotion is not very good. From zero to 50% stick movement, it goes from 0-100% motor speed smoothly . The last 50% stick movement does not make the motors spin faster.


What do you think of this ?
