Okay guys, this question is very similar to Mr. Nyes' question regarding PT-boats...so please bear with ME too.
I dabble mostly in 1/35 armor, an occasional battleship, carrier, etc. This new S-boot practically SCREAMS to be RC'd.
I am a totally blank slate on how to RC something not included with the kit. The real S-boat had three props, and three rudders. One servo would control the rudders...got that much figured out. However, I want this bad boy to haul-ass, so I need one high speed motor for each prop, I imagine.
Anyone out there have any idea whom to talk to regarding props, prop shafts, stuffing boxes and any other accoutrements to make this fantasy a reality? I need your help guys!!
