Blake K Posted June 11, 2019 #1 Posted June 11, 2019 I’ve been building scale model ships my whole life. For the first time I’d like to convert a model ship kit to RC. That being said, I have no knowledge of what’s needed to power it and steer it. Does anyone know of any type of dummy’s guide to doing this for the first time?
Rcboater Bill Posted June 18, 2019 #2 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Simply put, you'll need a motor, an ESC (reversible electronic speed controller), a battery, and a radio control set. What specifically you'll need will depend a lot on what type of model you're looking at................ What kind of boat-- Scale, speed, sail? -Bill Edited June 18, 2019 by Rcboater Bill fixed typos mtaylor 1 In progress: BlueJacket Lobster Smack 1/8 scale (RC) 1/96 Revenue Cutter Harriet Lane RC scratchbuild completed: 1/144 scale USS Guadalcanal CVE-60 RC scratchbuild Revell 1/305 USCG 327’ Secretary class cutter Dumas 1/16 scale USCG Motor Lifeboat 36500 (RC) Lindberg 1/95 USCG Lightship LV-112 “Nantucket” RC conversion
