In Part 1 ( • RNLI RC Severn Class L... ) I modified the power train of this Severn Class lifeboat to try to increase its speed. This shows the result.
That is a shame. With the work you have done on it, you might as well go the extra step and put a proper hobby grade receiver in there and a couple of cheap ESCs. Maybe even an internal motor and a rudder.
Yes I might get round to doing that. It's down to the motors and props on this little model, they're not up to what I'm asking of them. Nothing here has cost anything though, all the voltage reg parts were in my bits and bobs box, and it's only cost a couple of hours in time, so disappointing for sure but not shedding any tears over it! My 'Nessie' models has packed up which was my main concern to be honest and it looks like the ESC has died so want to get that fixed now.
