    To Dave,
    Your response concerns me!
    I am building my first rc boat the billings
    Smit Rotterdam. I bought this from A Model World.
    They supplied 2 x vision 500 motors and Graupner 400 bowthruster. The ESC's provided were 2 x viper Marine 15 and 1 x viper marine 10. They provided standard hitech HS-311 servo for rudder. A planet 2.4GHz 7 channel transmitter and receiver and 2 x 6v batteries that show 6v 4ah/20hr.
    This is not a fast boat.
    What of what I have been provided with is suitable and what are your recommendations.
    I am now ready to start planking the hull so I need to look at installing electronics.
    Hope to hear from you soon.
    How much experience have you with rc boats.
    Thanks Robin

    Thanks Phil.
    There are a few close up photos that will be really helpful.
    Also they give help to know where to put the lighting.
    As my first rc boat I hope all goes well.
    Good luck with your own build

    I am building my first radio controlled boat and looking to make as detailed as possible. Any close up pictures of the real boat would greatly help. All areas of the boat would help. I have uploaded some pictures of the boat so far.
    thank you Robin

    HI Dave,
    I may need advice in the future.
    The company A Model World has sorted out my order will be delivered this Monday. The guy there Mark seems very helpful.
    I have built static Billings kits in the past, but have no experience of making them remote control.
    Looking to make as detailed as possible with as much working with RC as I can.
    Let you know when I need help.

    I tried recently to get advice from them for the parts needed to get started on building Billings Smit Rotterdam.
    I am new to RC boats and happy to buy from them.
    Never responded to my detailed email.
    Have now gone to another supplier and put in a decent size order.
    Cornwall Boats also never had the courtesy to respond to my email
