Hi I have some questions for the learned RC boat/ship community here

What electric engines for a Tug ( single screw - Occre) and where from in AUS. No talking high performance just pushing it aound to start( I van always upgrade later)
is the FS-i4 with the ia6 a good starter combo for this ( engine, rudder, smoker, speaker ? lights, power (battery))
What ESC recommended for this ?

Occre use to supply options but no longer ( only prop, & shaft kit supplied now). I will also be doing a couple of other scratch tubs from old plans so any running gear help would be good.

I don't want to spend a fortune on these as its initially an exploratory learning adventure. If it goes well then I may expand.
I intend to build log it all here in detail for future reference.
 
Hi Paul.I could offer advice but from a cost point of view,it would be better to select items available in Aus.I would say though,if you are planning on fitting extras like sound and smoke,you need to keep the weight down as Ulises does not have a great deal of displacement.Also the type of smoke generator dictates the voltage you will need to have available.

Kind Regards

Nigel
