this side of the rc hobby aint my forte but i've tinkered around with lil electric boats, i found an old tirpitz model which had an optional motor kit for it, since it provided the gearbox-like thing and er.. the metal rods for shafts i guess it'd be great if i made it rc

the mopdel's hull is not so big and only a small cheap rc boat's system would fit in it. is it a nice idea ? i think it is, it's just gonna look great just by it's appearance not by it's performance i guess. the model kit that i have is the tamiya's begginer battleship model of the tirpits. forgot the scale though
