ok i just got this cheap boat to try out and it has duel motors and i would like to know how would i setup 2 speed controlls to the receiver? or do i need a rx with mixing or should i just convert this to a single motor boat? this is the boat http://www.raidentech.com/7008-blue-streak1.html

Connect controllers to a "Y"connector and conector to throttle plug on receiver.
good luck

Hey there. This has been done loads of times, upgraded with a twin drive setup and two ESCs (in which case you need two hobbygrade escs, a new RX and TX, and a servo and rudder). or else, simply gut the whole thing and go with a single motor setup. Cheaper and probably faster. You should look into the NQD hydro thread - loads of info on there - the only difference is the shape of the hull, but the same principles apply.

Best,
Andrew

You need to gut the boat and go with a single drive 600 or 700 graupner, and run them on 10-14 cells. Messing with the cheap little twin drive stock setup will just be a headache.
