Hi guys,

After reading about Eddies superb Miss Bud, I'm seriously thinking of trying one of these BIG boats myself. I like the look of the 1983 U3 Miss Renault, and was wondering what motor etc would be suitable.

I'd prefer to use a Hacker brushless setup if possible, but which one? What about number of cells and a suitable prop?

The reason for choosing a Hacker is simple, I can get them easily here in the UK from Astec. I don't really like brushed motors, and the big Lehners aren't easily obtainable over here....

So has anyone any suggestions to get a good speed from this boat?

Regards
Eddy

83 renault Cool Would you build it with the low wing? I don't have ant info that would help you on motor selection.:thumup:

Yep, definately the low wing version Froggy - I think it's the most attractive.
