Those are bullet connectors. The motors come with preinstalled bullet connectors so I purchased the female ends to complete the circuit. Thus far no issues. See the video as I run them up. :D Running it hard I get very little heat anywhere. These are 23 turn motors. The 12 turn motor you more than likely have are hot runners. Perhaps this is the cause for frying wires. :oops:

First Launch!!

My wife and daughters attended the maiden voyage of Sweet Melissa. You will hear the giggle of joy as the once pile of wood and tube of glue is now a functioning watercraft! My girls ran the thing more than me. :shifty:

The boat looks great! :rock:

The water, however, doesn't look quite right? What environment mod are you using? :O:

It's Real Environment 2012:DL

Nice, love the laughing in the background. Is that giggles of joy or giggles of two daughters making fun of their dad's creation :D ?

Giggles of joy. My daughters ran the boat longer then I did. My wife was laughing and enjoying as well. They can't wait for the next time to take it out again. They are looking forward to my next scratch built boat. A Chesapeake Bay Buy Boat. I picked up the keel and bulkhead material this evening. Its a lot of fun making a model mostly from what's in your head and having it actually run.

I have often thought of doing something
similar. We have a river our back, and a pool
as well. I could use it for a test run.

Good luck with the new project.
