My boat is controled by an ACE RC 5 channel dual throttle. Boat sunk, and receiver shorted out. I just bought a new (21 years old) and unused ACE RC for $280. The new receiver was wired with Airtronix type plugs. I ordered Futaba J connectors from a local hobby shop, so I wouldn't need to cut and rewire. Boat should be back in water within two weekends. Then its Me against the Ducks.

Dave, the boats on all fireboats I've built are static. I was thinking of installing a micro motor and speed control to launch boat, but it just wasn't practical with the electronics available at the time. I bought three boats and cranes at a sale for $5 per set when a large hobby shop in MiamI closed. Chuck
