Hi guys,
I ussualy spend my time crawling about the ground with my tanks but ive decided to get my feet wet, Im looking at building a roughly 1/45th scale CSS Arkansas Ironclad, She will be 44in long 9.5 in wide and have a draft of only 3in, My main question is in regard to motors, Im looking at using the same kind of motors we use in our tanks(360 or 380) & come with a gear set to provide more tourque for the tracks, How well would this work for turning a prop in the water? if these would work that would be great seeing as im hoping on using the airsoft gun and smoke maker from a tank in the ship and the less wiring i have to do the better seeing as i am a compleate newbe when it comes to wring up a rc vehicle...nost i have ever done is reconected wires i cut and so on, as for the speed of the boat I would like the ship to move at a scale speed as the original ships top speed was only 8mph.. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,
Jonathan
