Wooden RC boat dry dock

After some advice from a man with a big RC Helicopter and some boats, I've just tested the 7.2v motor, reduced voltage, geared down and all seems well. Vibration is nil, although judging by the sound the gears are a bit off. 'aint too keen on the whine. Good on a racer, but not this. Saying that - It's not been on the water yet.

I think you have turned a corner with this project. I cannot wait to see the sea trial footage! Don't sweat the sound, racer's will tell ya, loose it fast! : )

Just ran it wet, not the result I expected. It must be hull design. It draws about 3 inches along it's length. I should of given it less draft, or more beam for displacement. Building a new one now 18". Sadly, it looks like another patrol boat, I don't know why I do it (no imagination probably)!!! It's lighter though and wider.

I've mounted the motor lower to reduce the torque roll and geared it 2:1 reduction. I'm after a 3:1 gear set, but can't find any in the UK. I'm going to run this and see how it goes. Then I'm going to try the slower motor with the same gear set to get the scale / performance right.

That is a normal sound for a rc boat to make my aquacraft ep1 sounds a bit like that it's perfectly normal
