Hi, i'm new to the hobby of rc boating, but having dabbled in rc cars i would like to have a go at making something that floats. I want to make something very simple that is not expensive and does not maximize performance or looks, just works.
I have heard that balsa wood is good for making boats? I will probably do a lot of custom stuff so all i really want to buy is the radio gear, motor, battery and prop and this is where i need your help.
What motor should i be getting and what size prop do move a boat about 2 feet, at no amazing speed, also i wondered if there were any special servos or if the one from an rc car would do just fine?
Thanks, any help appreciated
