Here in the good old US of A too many people think they're staring in a John Wayne movie. Americans as a rule don't like to be told what to do. What suprises me there is certain segment of the population that doesn't trust the government be keeps voting for more government in their lives free food, housing, education, healthcare, cell phones etc. Does it mean anything in the long run? Probably not. As I like to tell my younger cell phone addicted co-workers "everyone on Facebook today will be dead in a hundred years anyway , so get over it ".

The yellow one is the one I purchased. Followed the instructions posted here and IT WORKS! Now I need to decide if I want to mount it into an old K&O outboard or make an airboat/camera boat. But at least now it works. Thanks to all of you for the help.

I've printed out the firs page and will attempt to set the ESC tomorrow sometime. Your help (as always - is appreciated).
It seems brushed motors (except for RFI issues) are a lot simpler to set up. Thanks again, and I let you know what happens.

The receiver is an older Fatuba 2 channel TX and RX. I wonder if that's not the problem...

It's a Ready to sky 30th model. It came with the Young motor. I bought 2 motors with 2 ESCs as a package deal on-line through Amazon.

Just purchased two A 2212 brushless motors and can't get either one of them to run. I've tried both of them and all I get is three beeps when powering up and then constant beeping from the motor. I checked all the connections and a servo plugged into the receiver works fine. Any thoughts?

They'd still roll to the center of the tank and under anything else in there...

My wife and I got our 1st Moderna vaccine shots (jabs) last Wednesday. No severe side effects for either of us just soreness at the injection sites. Having some issues with my right hand but I think it's a pinched nerve. Will see my chiropractor early this coming week and see if it helps (usually does). Stay strong and keep after your doctor to get the vaccines.

Decided to start with Summer Madness for adding crews. 1/24 scale figures seem to be the optimal size. Poor guy is outnumbered.

Colin, I understand your longing for getting out and doing "normal" things again. I called my cousin this afternoon to wish her a happy 80th birthday. It's not wanting for any big plans just simpler things like going out for breakfast or a nice dinner. Patience is a virtue I'm told ... Hold on and stay well.

Here in Michigan (Northern mid-west USA) our winter is mitigated a bit by being surrounded by the Great Lakes. My workshop is in the basement. Keeps all the paints and such warm. But the wife says no to any spray painting indoors, so any large painting projects wait until spring. Have managed to run small bits outside as long as it's not raining or snowing and above freezing, it seems to work. The price we pay for domestic tranquility 😊

Ranting is good for you. Holding it in just makes you miserable. If enough of the idiots catch the virus maybe it will clean out the gene pool to some degree. I'm still working (more to stay out of the wife's hair then anything ) and if I get a customer that won't wear a mask, I simply tell them I'll find someone else to help them. The fact we're all armed to the teeth (it's a gunstore) tends to keep customers complaints to a minimum...

American Diorama has figures in 1\18 the scale. Try Amazon or EBay.

Santa brought snow this morning along with a couple of catnip toys for the furry crew. They're enjoying them as I hope all of you are enjoying this special day with your family and all our world-wide shipmates. Be well and God bless.

I'm curious as to what you're going to tell the Hungarian customs agents at the border about two halves of a blue drum with holes in it... "Sir pull over there and we'll have you talk to a supervisor". 😉

Because it has an attachment to you Dad you should certainly build it. It's a nice kit to build, so take your time and enjoy it.
