I'd love a model of the MV Saturn or the Isle Of Mull.

Yes yes, it might be argued that the Isle Of Mull model might sail more than the real thing, seeing as it's a Calmac ferry! 😆

Further to my RC boat antics....

I have just picked these up on the Bay.of.E

£9.99 has got me a controller+ board... And 'it all works'!! 😯

..... I shall report on developments, if anyone is interested 😎👍

My Lambo is here....

Totally gutted it, all internal webbing and screw stumps will be dremeled out.
Drive/Gbox is getting a big fat brushed motor.
Steering is by R/c servo.

Fairly straightforward cut n shut 😎🔧✔️

I'll pop a UToob 'short' up soon...

I used to mess around with them a few years ago.
I can't remember what it was now, except it was a twin propeller speed boat and was about 2ft long.It went like stink across the lake.
Unfortunately it's day ended when I hit a floating branch and it split the hull resulting in it sinking and never to be seen again

Back together.... R/C gear to be fitted up.

First shot, in sitting room, looming 🔧💨

Suffering 'itchy eBay finger' [..again 🙄]

Well, should make one rocket ship out of this POS 😉
The blue one is *apparently a Ripmax Interceptor 650 RC Boat ... Hmm 🤔

Always liked the idea of something RC, but never enough to part with any cash.

Years ago I was out MTBing with my brother in law when we stopped by the pond at our local country park for a rest. There was an old guy with a speedboat that he was firing up and demonstrating to his grandson how to feed it into the water without stalling it.

After the little lad had four unsuccessful attempts grandad lost his patience and grabbed the boat off him, this time instead of just demonstrating he actually put the boat into the water, and you can guess what happened next. 😂😂😂

The old guy looked round to see us both with our shoulders going up and down as we desperately tried not to burst out laughing. 🤣

My investigations, into the Ripmax Intercepter +MODS 👀
Seems the hull/prop is a serious compromise and needs attention....

I think the *nuclear option beckons 😎

Fill hull & drop prop 👍

We Will See
