my dad works in construction so my father might be able to get a hold of certain things easy enough like urethane to waterproof the ship foam to make the superstructure and who knows what else heck i have a few r/c cars lying around the house i might be able to salvage something from one of them to use but hey i am just guessing i might find something usefull
No I don't have to worry aobut that yet I have to finish the hull first i have reached a slight standstill as I have to get some urethane to waterproof the ribs, subdecks, and keels. What is the maximum allowable building error when making a ship?
my brother has a r/c car he no longers uses which used a 9.6v 1000mAh ni-cd battery would I be able to use that or would I have to buy a better battery?
maximum allowable building error when making a ship is just one and than we make you walk the plank []
TBone, I forget, are you building for fast gun or big gun (makes a difference because big gun gets a pump and needs more juice).
Nothing wrong with that... I'd go with a bigger battery than 1000mAH. For something as big as Mehosi Maru, you can probably just put a big ole 6V 12AH battery in for power and ballast. It's total overkill, but it's also cheaper than most RC car batteries that would be big enough to do the job. Costs between $12 and $15.
The WWCC and most other Big Gun clubs require length and width to be within + 5% of historical. For mehoshi, you can be between 33.25" and 36.75", as measured from the very tip of the bow to the furthest aft part of the hull. Width can be 4.275" to 4.725" at the widest point.
