Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Ok I am about to dive into this kit soon, I wanted to ask has anybody on here built one and if so what hardware did you use?


I am looking at 400 speed motors from Radio Shack that are 18k w/load and 24k wo/load..

Also 3 motors but how many ESC did you use?

questions that I need answers for.. please

3 and a mixer to connect the wing ESCs plus a through connector for the center ESC.

pictures man, must see pictures!!!!

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

So nobody from the US is building one except me?


I find this hard to believe..

mine has been ordered..

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Mark, you'll find a number of builds over at RCG, MBM, Scaleboats.uk or the Dutch modeling forum where some of the best examples can be found.

I just seen this post!!!

I have built her up now- damn fine boat - I am using 1 speed controller with no problem and I am running 380 motors..

I used Pro prop PT109 3 blade props and from the early test this boat does well.

Now to get a better radio for it. spread spectrum 2.4Ghz here I come.

Hi there Turbobearcat

Have any pictures of your boat you can share?

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote

Very nice. And thank you.

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

You are welcome!

The funny part was the comparison I did with the Lindbergh PT109 1/32 and the Italieri 1/35 scale Schnellboot look at the size differences!!! LoL!

When I get the new radio in and start testing him, then I will start kicking out some videos to be proud of... :-)

First part of the video - new radio

then you see how far I came with the boat in the past two weeks.

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Looks very nice. Enjoy your boat! I did. ;)

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Are you planning on building one yourself?

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

No, I'm still slowly designing a Tugboat. That's what is going to get all my attention. Unfortunately we are right in the middle of a big renovation and repair of our house. Need to finish that so I can have a big enough work room. Have to finish sanding the walls, sand the floor, refinish the floor, and so on.

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Well send me a message when you are done!

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Here are a picture or two of my S100 that is 25-30 years old and has been rebuilt 3 times. This is the middle of the last rebuild installing the working torpedoe tubes. The torpedoes are electrically powered and launched with air pressure.

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Holy Cow..those torpedoes are live!!!!!! :-)

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Yes, but no warheads are involved. I have a you tube video of the launching of them too. Here is a link to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfxEKjdMOds

Any more posts on this one !!!!!!!

RE: Italeri 1/35 S100 Schellboote
 

Wow,
I see some of the same names from the RCU tank forume. Turbocat. I have both the Linberg 109 and the Italeri S boat waiting to be built. My main concern is what parts of the deck to glue to the hull and what parts are to be made removable. I would also like to know how you secure the removable parts to access the RC stuff. Do you have any pics of the insides? Great looking MTB's.

Back in early Sept- my PT-109 was destroyed by a 60mph speedboat..

the deck was glued down but the top of the battery house was not...easy to get to.

The S-100 is actually screwed down so it's easy to remove the desk with no problems.

Mark,
Thanks, Sorry to hear about the PT 109. I guess the speed boat thought he was a Japanese Destroyer. Do you have any pics of the interior? I would like to see your RC equipment layout. What do you reccommend I start first? I am adept with plastic kits so the complexity of the S boat doesn't scare me, Just the RC part LOL.

Jim

Propellers?
 

Hi, Can Anyone help Me get the correct Propellers for the Italeri 1/35 S-100 ? I'll be using three Dumas #2005 Motor's and 1/8 inch drive shafts. I get a lot of My items from Tower Hobbies. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim.

I got mine from Sprue-brothershttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=1941513 Brass 32mm and threaded for 4mm shafts!
