    [:)]Does anybody know where I can get a motor to replace my 18 year old swampworks Bismarck motor? I am looking for the exact motor. It's very large 12v with a lot of torque.

    You may have to go with the Dual motor gearbox from BC, I hear they work very well with the Bismarck class of ships.

    I know nothing about motors, but if I recall correctly I have a few swampworks battleship motors... I'll see what I can dig up, but depending on the number I have I may need them for my winter project...
