anyway can you help me : I would like to use esc ( used for motors) also as we have motor-assist in harbour maneuvers

Graupner will recommend their own equipment, but other equipment should do just as well.

This site specialises in ship radio control electronics, and can certainly provide any control system you might want. **LINK**

Contact them on +44 (0)1248 719353 and explain what you are looking for. They are very friendly!

question :

is it possible to use 2 ESC ( with bec) and a single battery pack?

[Dodgy Geezer 1Participant @dodgygeezer1]

Yes, quite easily. You would only use the BEC from one ESC, and disable the other by taking out the +ve (red) wire from the receiver plug. Contact the link I gave you above – they will explain it all…

Before you use up cash on what you may not really need find out if you can get spare props as you will break them sooner or later they are probably still plastic as the other graupner models .If you can't you are looking at custom modified ones being made as they are not threaded. also she runs fast enough on 2 props

you right….propshafts are not threated I would like to use Raboesch propellers …not sure on which type….

I have this ship Still in the box but next week I will have enough time to measure propshaft lenght and if it is easy to change them with a threated propshaft 3M I suppose

second step will be to use first the original propellers with 2 esc to see how it will move on the water and improve her turns

Yes once you have threaded shafts you are spoilt for choice on props the one on our lake is far too fast even on two motors to be honest its a bit on the small side he still has not got it ballasted right
