How tempting, after working on a real PT boat and spending countless hours, is it to turn this little model into a real thing? I know you've thought about it :D

Semi-current status. I'm changing some things on the boat. I've torn off the torp tubes and I'm converting it to roll-off torps and I'm building a scratch 40mm bofor and scratch built mark 13 torps:o

I plan on it becoming PT-323:salute:, in honor of one of our vets.

You need outrunner motors on that PT and really make her fly! She looks great!

:D

At the moment, anything doing with speed controllers and motors is a sore subject.:dead:

LOL. Most R/C shops can hook you up with the proper controller, motors and lipo battery. :DL

The R/c shops have been the problem:doh:

DOH!

It lives! It lives.

What motor are you using?
And also I wouldn't recommend the plastic propellers because they tend to bend at high RPMs

The motors are 550s and these props are pretty tough.

Great news
 

PT-323 is no longer a virgin:woot::rock: I tested her tonight at the library pond. It runs freekin awesome!!!! Noew some touch up painting; torps to build, 40 mm to build.

You stuck what in the prop? :o Glad she has taken to the high seas or pond as it were. Can you get video?

Here you go.
