Hi Matt

Dave is undoubtedly one the most experienced chaps in model boat electronics that I have ever met and his wiring diagrams are so easy to follow that even an electronic numpty like me can understand them.

But there comes a point where you have to bite the bullet and buy some components to put together yourself, its the only way that Daves wise words and diagrams make real sense and you benefit from the hands on experience. Then it all becomes clear and comparatively simple to carry out quite complex electronic installations.

Dave (when he was Action Electronics) has done all of the hard work as the majority of electronic installations these days are basically 'plug & play'

Hello Matt

If you are not building a super fast boat then there is really no need for brushless, As most of my boats are around the same size I tend to use any old motors that I have lying around. You could fit a suitably sized buggy motor if you have any spare.

For electronic bits like condition meters I look at places like Maplins or The Component Shop, the sites are very self explanatory and it means I only have to bother Dave (the bear) Milbourn with really complicated stuff.
