I hate leaving models as standard, the Southampton Tug a RTR model, needed to be more manoeuvrable, so removed original 27Mhz receiver and fitted Two Electronic speed controllers one for each motor, and a 2.4Ghz receiver. The model will now turn in its own length and has become very good for controlling in small spaces. Will change the standard motors next for something with a little more pulling and pushing power. it runs all morning on a 1 x 6 cell AA Nimh 2700Mah battery pack.

Built this year 2012 by Colin Burrows as a static model. Bought from him to make RC on 2.4. and currently fitted with a 600 motor that is too powerful, advise that was received from a fellow modeller, I am awaiting for a smaller unit to arrive to make it more authentic as it resembles a power boat rather than a trawler. Am also building a speed boat but have put out a request for wiring information as I have already blown up one speed controller!! lol.
I belong to a recently formed club sailing on the lake a Queens Park, Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire. New members would be most welcomed.

Realistic looking model. Low speed high tork motor would suit this. Model Motors Direct do a 555 which is excellent for most scale boats. What ESC are you using?
You can post details of your club in our Model Boat Clubs section, which should help any prospective members find you. 😀

Hi, I am using a Perkins 5510135 Marine 50amp esc and am awaiting a 25mm diam 300rmp motor from Hongkong to replace the Johnson 600 that is already fitted. it's a suck it and see job as I have no experience in the boating field my previous hobby was flying electric planes with lipo's and brushless motors. Going to fit proportional steam simulator, fog horn and whistle, have already fitted sound generator representing the 3 cylinder steam unit that would have been in the real thing. if you have any experience in the electronics field I would welcome help on esc requirement to power twin graupner 700BB Turbo motors.

I've had this boat in the shed for years and at last have started to do some mods on it but will it work, will hopefully try it tomorrow at Cwmbran. Has any one tried this before, it will run on a 3800KVa Brushless Outrunner from an Helicopter with a 70 Amp Red Brick Forward only speed controller, first runs on a 7.4 2 Cell Lipo and then 3 cell 11.1 volt Lipo and if I feel brave I have a 4 Cell 14.8 volt Lipo as well, it's prop is 30mm but have 25mm and 35mm two blade bronze ones to try.

Looks like you are in for some serious fun. You may be able to get the best performance if you have or can borrow a wattmeter to see the effect of different battery / prop set ups. Brushless motors and LiPo's don't like it if you exceed their power ratings.
Looking forward to hearing the results, or maybe a video of the boat on the water.
Good luck 😀

This was an Impulse buy about a year ago and has now been modified to run on 2.4 Ghz with a rudder added, a 50 Amp speed controller and 11.1 volt lipo power. it was a just for Fun Project that has worked.

I have had this boat for about 5 years, so thought that it would like a day out. Sailing at Cwmbran August 2012. its a Billing Polar Trawler, not now made but at about 32 inch long is a managable size. Twin 385 motors 35mm 3 blade brass props. and running on a 7.2 volt 3700 mAh NiMh viper speed controller and a 2.4 Ghz RC it will potter around all morning on one battery. I originally ran it on a 6Volt 4Ah Gel Cell and 27 Mhz setup.

HI Rob if you have an email address that I could use I have photos of the boat, a friend at my club is also restoring one so I have just taken some photos but I could take some more of the areas that you require easily, sadly I do not have a plan myself as my polar was bought on Ebay at least 5 years ago and I had to work from a billing catalogue photo and some photos from old Model Boat Magazines. Hope to hear from you if that will help.

Thanks so much for getting back my email is PM only - Admin. Any advice or extra pics would be great I really appreciate it. I will upload a pic of the boat at the weekend and show everyone the PROJECT 😯
Thanks again Rob

Not your typical submarine but certainly an unusual semI submersible. Scratch built by fellow club member Brian Clewes this is a most striking looking vessel. Fiberglass hull and moulded perspex window. Home built waterjet uses a large 900 (I think) brushed motor, water cooled speed controller and 14.4v LiPo. Looks really spectacular on the water and Brian is working on the ballast to enable the model to remain just submerged. Video to follow in due course.

Hi" to all model boat builders. I thought I would add my new project to this fireboat website for all to see ! I bought this from fleabay as a total wreck. She is a rare Scratch built from a plan of a Walton Thames RAF ASRL launch at 36 inch long & 8 inch wide.took me approx 6 months to do the rebuild. Brush painted with 5 assorted colours with decals working lights ect.
Walton Thames is now running on a new Johnston speed 600 electric motor. 50 amp speed controller 45mm pitched propeller.A 6 volt at4.ah which gives good running time & good scale speed. Photos are taken at Eaton park Norwich England. Enjoy. 😊
My next project will be a 1950s Aerokits/Keilcraft Sea hornet. " So watch this space "
