Hi Michael If you look at this **LINK** there are a number of circuits. Although they refer to Action units specifically, the basics are the same for most R/C components.

Some Smoke and sound units are linked to the motor control, although some modelers prefer to have separate control.it is a matter of taste

Michael,

Also have a look at Dave Milbourn's very helpful article on Model Boat Electrics/Electronics here: **LINK** which should answer many of your questions.

If you are not clear about anything then just ask and someone will help.

Hi Michael..

I have not long started the Wattle build in a similar manner to your self.

Do you have any pictures of your build and if you have got the answer to the electronic set up,

would be interested to see how it fits.

Regards,

Ian
