Hi Jabbran,

Right, here we go:

You have the choice between a bare hull, or one with the motor and hardware installed:
- http://r2hobbies.com/proddetail.php?...68857275ee3cd1
- Transmitterset: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8338&Product_Name=Ho bby_King_2.4Ghz_4Ch_Tx_&_Rx_(Mode_2)
- Servo: http://www.swanghobby.com/Tower-pro-...ervo-p-51.html
- ESC: http://www.swanghobby.com/Flyermate-...ller-p-72.html
This ESC doesn't come with watercooling, but that can be added easily, an ESC with watercooling costs more:
For example: http://www.swanghobby.com/hobbywing-...1-pr-1676.html
-Lipo: Your choice:
For docile boating: http://www.swanghobby.com/Flyermate-...ry-p-1602.html
For speeding: http://www.swanghobby.com/flyermate-...p-1-pr-16.html
- Charger: http://www.swanghobby.com/GT-Power-A...er-p-1565.html
Powersupply: http://www.swanghobby.com/SWANGHOBBY...tor-p-438.html

The main reason for selecting one supplier (Swanghobby) is the quality (I run their stuff myself) and the fact, that the shipping is free.

Keep us posted if and what you choose.

Regards, Jan.
Thanks once again, I would go for the hull with the motor and hardware installed. I calculated the total cost to around £230 excluding shipping fees from the boat supplier. Can you just quickly explain to me the difference between the Lipo of docile and speeding? Also can the charger be used for different batteries or only for one specific battery type?
