  • hi vazrules, can you tell me what material did you put in your ballast to 1.3kg?

  • @singchooi small lead shot + epoxy to keep them on place

  • Dear vazrules,

    I'm a true sailboat owner and navigator and now I bought a Surmount and a Moonson rc saillboats. I need your help because I don't know what type of bateries I may use into the boat. Can I use a plastic box with 4 bateries type AA with 1,5 v ? Or I must use the same bateries that we use at the eletric rc planes?

    Hi, I have used 2S LiPo and a BEC [voltage regulator].

    The sail winch servo is faster with 6V. 4x rechargeable battery with the plastic box is only 4,8V.

    In my gas powered planes I'm using 2S A123 connected directly to the servos, but I didn't try this in the sailboat. [I sold the boat long time ago]

    Best regards

  • hi vazrules, i just bought a monsson rc like yours. can you tell me the battery code required and the transmitter to go with this boat? from ireland

  • @singchooi

    Hi, sorry I've used a 9 channel Futaba transmitter.

    But I think any kind at least 2 channel transmitter, with a receiver will be enough.

see all

  • hi vazrules, i got my monsoon rc boat first maiden sailed 2 weekends ago. thank you so much for all your support, help and advices. you are so kind and generous. this video was a great help too. god bless and kind regards, singchooi.

  • hi vazrules, thanks for your help and advice. i got my monsoon rc doing its first maiden voyage. all went well. : )

  • @singchooi I am just a lubber (I love that 'Sea Talk', hehehe) I would guess to buy in accord with the weight of your ship. 1 lbs boat? Get 3 lb shot of the largest size to fit and permit equal distribution.

  • hi vazrules, i am trying to buy the lead shot from thefind.com. how many tins of lead shot do i need and what size? kind regards.

  • hi vazrules, what is the size of the lead shots? kind regards.
