discussion Jet drive lifeboat 1;10 scale

[Guest]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I thought that maybe a few of you would be interested in one of my latest projects. I am currently building a 1:10 scale fast jet drive rescue boat. She comes out at 54" long and fully batteried up and ballasted weighs 15kg. I fitted 2 graupner 40mm jet drives which are powered by 2 x 720w brushless motors. Here are some links if you would like to take a look at it in action.

This is the boat running on 12v http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gLRKH9_MKfI

This is the boat running on 24v http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa5wBkClicI

This is the boat from standing start to full power http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn2QxbhaJUs

Let me know what you think. Any questions I will be more than happy to answer. This boat has now just been launched in 1:16 scale for modellers who are not into the big stuff. The 1:16 comes out at 33" long.

kind regards

Alan
