Title: RC Equipments to sail a Boat
Post by: pirate on April 12, 2012, 03:55:31 PM
Hi All,
My boat (Might) is almost nearing completion.
Thanks to Roopesh.....am going to apply the pu putty.

Now, wanted to know how to sail this boat?

What are all the RC equipment that is required to sail this boat (might).

A friend of mine gave me a two channel Hand held transmitter ( that’s what he said ).....I think this is also called as a Remote Control.
Now what are the other stuffs required to sail the boat,

Friends, please guide me in finding right equipment for this boat (might) with the Technical Names for this equipment and the Pricing

Regards
Pirate

Pirate, if your Radio system, is toy based, you can very simply adopt the unit on your model.. and if you are going to use a high powered motor, can use two relays for the appropriate voltage.. and with a simple silicon gear box, you can control the rudder surface easily.. then if you are using a hobby radio set, you need a micro servo, to control rudder, one brushed or brush less motor, an appropriate ESC for it, along with a battery pack..  if you are going with a brushed motor, can use a RS 370 or SP 400.. with a 3:1 reduction ratio.. and if you are with a brushless, can use a 1400 RPM/Volt, with a self made prop in to 1.5 inch dia.. works fine.. and still if you are using even more power unit, must use a micro metal gear HD servo.. :thumbsup:
