Hello,

I am going to make my Lindberg Blue Devil into an R/C boat, and I need to know a few things:

1. Whats parts do I need? I know I will need a, servo, rudder linkage, speed control, reciver, and the kit comes with a motor, props and shaft. But can you make specific recomendations?

2. How can I ensure that the speed is scaled down and not like the 300mph Destroyer of YouTube?

3. How do I program the controller to the servo and speed controller?

4. Anything else?

Hi Ryan,
As with any new endeavor, a good, basic book of R/C basics is recommended. mate, and there are plenty available at the present...and here's a couple of specific sites where you can find many answers to your questions (as well as a designated talk group just for the Blue Devil).
