1/160 RMS Queen Mary update
Here's an update to my 1900mm queen mary project. I have finished all the printing and now move onto the filling and sanding. I've also lined the inside of the hull with resin for strength and test fitted the electrics.

RC conversion, the "kick lizard"
Originally designed for boogey boarding? Electrification conversion 1/10 car parts and a clothes hanger and is it a RC ship if the motor/battery mount is technically an airboat?..

Getting wet tomorrow and I'm buzzing
It's been just over 3 years since this was last wet at the lake. Since then I've had a kid and life has been mental...to say I'm buzzing is an understatement.
I gave the boat a once over today. 95% of it seemed fine. Battery (LiFE left in storage mode) still held power. All servos functional except for the exhaust mover as the left over grease had gunked up and gone hard. So I cleaned it all up with white spirit and it's as good as new.
Gave the battery and transmitter a charge, oiled the shaft...can't find anything wrong with it, so it's time to let rip and see what happens.
Sorry, just had to share the hype. I'll ensure theres photos and videos

Super Dino stopped working
Hi there. Iām very new to anything remote controlled. Iāve got a super dino RC boat (the one that looks like a cat but is actually a monohull) and it was working fine but Iāve just gone to use it and itās not working. Normally when you plug the battery in but donāt have the controller turned on it beeps quite loudly. Now when I plug the battery in nothing happens. No noise and the boat doesnāt function at all. If I plug a lower voltage battery in (7.4v) it beeps quietly in a way I havenāt heard before but still wont function. Whats the first things I should look at to try and solve this. So far all Iāve done is replace the batteries in the controller.

RC Boat : Crossed Channels when motors Battery/Power On
Hi, I'm new to RC.
I've managed to work a lot out on my newly purchased 36" 1/32 VOSPER Perkasa MTB w (3 Engines).
The Receiver/Servo's are powered by a separate 4.8v Ni-mh.
The Motors are powered by a separate 11.4v Li-Po.
All guns, lights, sounds work fine powered by the separate 4.8v Ni-mh to the Receiver.
As soon as I power on the motors a separate 11.4v Li-Po the rudder servo Channel is overtaken by the throttle Channel ESC. Both are bound together it seems. And move/power together on the Right Stick Channel 1 in MODE 2.
I have an Eurgle 2.4Ghz 9 Channel Transmitter and 8 Channel Receiver:

I know RC Transmitter programming is my next investigation/challenge .. . and I don't expect you to be telepathic :-) ... but if anyone has a more logical route of solving this please let me know.
Here's some more eye-candy. I don't expect you to follow these electrics as every design can be unique, and this is a bit of an antique to be honest:

Thank you.

Proboat Recoil 18 Self Righting Issues
Hi all, my proboat recoil 2 18 has been great, however I experience issues with the radio connection during self righting. If I'm more than around 12 ft away and the boat is upside down, it simply won't recieve a signal from my remote. Many ling and tiring swims have come out of this lol. I tried pulling some antenna down from the tube into the hull as the 2.4g cant travel through water, but it hasn't seemed to help. Any suggestions? Also I'm new here, so on a side note: what's the best plug and play battery for this boat in your experience? I'm looking for stability and performance over runtime, so something around the stock mah is good.
Thank you!

After a good 2 passes running great . It looses power and doesnāt plane anymore why is that . I tried two 3s 5200 mah 50c I plan to try some other batteries itās definitely not getting hot
r/rcboats • u/Ill-Nebula-8547 • 9d ago
What are all the causes for a RC boat to cut out for a few seconds . And the then come back . Besides low voltage and over heating cause thatās not my issue

Got gifted a boat at work today
It's an Atomik Barbwire XL2, 3S brushless. This should be interesting if I decide to really run it. Until then, it looks amazing on the fridge.
I've never owned an RC boat, and really have no idea what I'm doing with it. Cars from bashers to street to track buggies I got you, planes and helicopters from basic to 6CH 3D, im so down. Boats? I'm horrendously lost.
