Hello all,

I've recently inherited a Chris Craft Runabout scale model that my Grandfather built years ago, about 1992, and that I've now inherited. It has sat unused, and I'd like some help getting it up and running, if possible. I've searched enough online to know that the controls are out of date, so I may need to rebuild it, but for now if Icould get some guidance on making it work, that would be great.

All of the parts are Futaba, excepting the drive motor. I'd be happy to provide model numbers.

I have everything, except directions. I have two ni-cad batteries, and a charger. I'm curious if the batteries are still good.

I've charged them, put them in the boat, allong with fresh AAs, and nothing responds.

I'd appreciate any help.

If it comes to it, I'd like help replacing the motor and controls with modern ones.

Thanks.
