    Warship life on Board - Series one and Two were brilliant - Captain Eleanor Stack (series 1) and captain Tom Trent (series 2) Brilliant leadership skills regardless of how you think the producers wanted to portray our Navy

    Next Question :-) If I buy a 2 Channel Radio Control will I get the receiver with it ? On eBay it doesn't specify if a receiver is part of the package or If I buy brand new will one come with it ?

    Now that I've ventured into the world of RC as part of my Sea Urchin build I've reached the point of installing the motor for the prop, so the question is why is there a brushed and brushless version of motors and what ESC and battery are needed? I was given the brushless motor with the kit but no other electrics.

    can't attach any photos πŸ€”
