RC 34" Tugboat Hauls Large Driftwood off the Beach
This is the Tugboat described in an earlier video titled: RC Tugboat A DIY Look at Design Gear and Electronics. The model measures 34" on deck, 10.5" beam and 4" draft. The Tug has two counter rotating 42mm nylon props and a large barn door rudder.
An advantage with the Tugboat model is that it can be entertaining on a very small pond or creek. You just have to find some work for it!

RC Gaff Pilot Cutter Sailboat, Heavy Full Keel in 18 km/h Wind and Wave
มุมมอง 5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This is a heavy traditional hull form with no overhang forward. Sails can be sheeted in or loosed off but this video only shows them set at a loose beat. There is an auxiliary motor that was used occasionally in a short burst if she stalled coming about into the wind and waves. The rest of the sailing is under wind power alone. The hatches have a 1/2 " combing and scuppers cleared the water on ...

RC Salina 3867 Boat Mod to Full Proportional
มุมมอง 2.3K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video RCWH takes a really great inexpensive RC Powerboat - The Heng Long Salina No. 3867 - and modifies it to fully proportional. The original stock boat was fun to operate and the hull is well balanced. The mod involved some changes to the superstructure and replacement of the gear inside the hull. The result was a nice well behaved boat not fast but graceful in its turns and wake.

Hello, Very nice Model,thumbs up from me!👍 Greetings Seven🖖
Hi, I love your tugboat. I'm going to start a tugboat during the winter and I was wondering, is the plastic propeller really strong?
I have never had a problem with these nylon props. They are inexpensive and tough. Probably the shaft would bend before the prop suffered damage. Brian RCWH
@@RCWorkboatHaven Thank for the fast answer.
Great boat! I think you might be having more fun than allowed by law. I'm scratch building a 50-inch tug now that is very similar. I'm about to fiberglass the hull this week. Hope you post more. Enjoy all your videos.
Beautiful boat! Did I hear correctly, you operate in Georgian Bay? I cruise Georgian Bay, to be more specific, Sheguandah Bay on Manitoulin Island. Keep it floating!
Big boat big tow & little boat little tow. 😄
❤❤❤
How to make smoke for rc boats sir..
Good stuff, thanks
❤
The sails could even be a bit bigger……..maybe?
They could be in a custom build like this. I designed the mast length to 34" so it would fold down onto the deck. Then the main boom length folded had to fit that length etc. Brian RCWH
Beautiful….thank you .
Thats a glass hull,.. if i remember correctly. Are you selling them?
It's still a hobby for me at this stage. Maybe in the future. Brian RCWH
I love that you get so many attractive different boats out of one hull.
Thank you. Marvells of technic science.❤
Perfect! Were can i get plans to build my own
Thank you. No plans available yet. Brian RCWH
Lovely little ship! Thanks for the video.
❤🎉 beautiful 🎉❤
Most fascinating thing about these boats is *angry engine noises*.
No argument there! The sound unit is borrowed from the RC Crawler hobby. Sounds more real at low RPMs. But the sound adds to the fun in spite of the lack of authenticity when in operation and it attracts young curious people. Action attracts youth. Brian RCWH
Thanks for sharing.
BEAUTIFUL!
I had a VW that made the same sound right before rod punched through the case
Hi Brian.Another beauty to add to your collection.I scratch built a 1940ish side fihing trawler from an magazine article in Scale Ship Modeller.During covid I decided to give her a much-needed overhaul.I am looking for some 1/43 scale deckhands.Any suggestions? Rod Ransome,Port Hope
Thanks Rod. If you search eBay.ca for "1:43 scale train figures" there's a lot. Looks like the vendors intermix 1:48 scale (American 0 scale) with 1:43 (Diecast scale). Maybe some of these could be heated with a lighter and bent to different shapes. Should be fun to paint them up as sailors. Brian RCWH
Beautiful model ! You are a Master! 👍
I'm a sculptor. I would make a waxed wooden keel and use this to make a two part mold. Pour lead in and you have a perfect keel that needs little or no finishing (fairing). The mold could be used over and over. Michael
I think that is a great method you describe. My intention in the video was to have a method using steel or lead pieces to form any shape keel without a precise mold. No melting of lead is required. Of course the keel weight is not as concentrated and your suggestion would likely be better for a racing design. Thanks for giving a different approach. Brian RCWH
Awesome job thanks for the great info!
Hi. I have a Slipway rc boat that requires two 12volt motors. Which do you think is better , two 775 motors or MFA 540/GEARED 1/6 ? Thank you
Slipway has nice models for sure. On my Haven 34 hulls I have used a standard 540 dc motor because they are inexpensive and the running gear is easy to find on eBay. Electronics to run these motors are also easy to replace as well. One motor will push my hull far over hull speed. My objective is always to keep RC motors, running gear and electronics simple and affordable. For a much larger model say 5 or 6 feet long I would be tempted to look at 775 motors but the associated mounts, running gear, batteries and electronics would probably be more heavy duty. And possibly harder to find and more expensive. On the other hand the 775 is a tough powerful motor and may be more in line with your build. Brian RCWH
Please explain how you weight your keel , I like that you don't have a danger board , I'm want to build with out a danger board .
Check out Part 1 of the RC Gaff Cutter Build Series. There is some detail there.
Great information, but where does the mould come from?
I built the mold from a plug made from a hull I designed.
Very nice ships greeting s from germany 😊
Thanks for this video, an excellent idea I’ll work on.
Love your video's. I've been into work boat models about 50 years and don't have to tell you how awesome all of yours are. Green Loctite is great to set bushing and bearings into shafts. At your skill level and maybe you have already, Consider a mini lathe. I've had my "cheap" Chinese mini lathe about 5 years and it's so useful. Lately I've been making scale props. Been going back and upgrading my boats. Highest I've made so far is 5 blades. Thanks for posting. Things like this will pull young blood into the hobby.
CAN YOU BUILD A SAIL BOAT LIKE THAT..?..THANX
Probably. It would run good too.
Great explanations. Thank you for sharing.
awesome! I've found my weekend project! been loving your channel past coupe years, I'm located on lake Rosseau!
I've been an RCer for over 60 years and now trying RC sail and scale boats. Love the knocker. Thanks for sharing. Was surprised to see you are from Georgian Bay. I have been down here in NC since '68 but grew up in Collingwood and Wasaga Beach. I still have a bunch of family at the Beach.
Hey, you ever tried more than one knock actuators? I mean on the knocker, not just the one contact pin but put another 180° around other side. Then have two knocks per rotation. Mabey that would sound cool.......
That's pretty cool man!
I am loving this channel
What happened to 1898 supply steamer l was wondering if it is top heavy
Yes. I will be out soon to video that model and will add interior ballast. All that superstructure aloft may need 5 lb. below.
What a lot of work!😊
That is a known design called an Axe Bow .
Come on an axe bow ship is not made by folding a flat panel. Those is a total design concept not just the bow.
@@sbrunner69 it is what it is.
What no 3 D printer? That will never work old man. As a retired guy myself I play with rc trucks so appreciate your efforts putting all this on video. You could trim the front top ( height) down a bit or move weight forward. I have no idea really but this looks a little high in the front? I am about to learn brazing myself, good luck with your rc.
Beautiful boat and job well done! The handling is surprisingly good for what it is...
I grew up sailing around the world on a boat with my parents and I got a pair of tin snips and started cutting the tops and bottoms off of soda cans and made boats with that same exact philosophy. I just folded the metal at the bow and for the stern folded it into a low stern. I'd make a rudder/skeg out of more can metal and then made a basic square sail out of another can and send them off downwind. I'd seen hydrofoils by that time and i started putting rudimentary skies on either side near the bow also made from soda can metal and those would lift all but the stern out of the water and rip off downwind quite quickly. When we were in the red sea we bought some pepsi in these huge cans and i made a bigger version with that and made a keel for it and some better sails and that one would go upwind pretty nicely. Cool to see it taken further with a full rc build.
good for you well done.
Looks really good
I've wondered for about 25 years what a hull like this would handle like
It's great and easy to build, but the deck should be parallel to the water line to make it look better on the water...and the bow could be 10 degrees or so less to become parallel to the deck 😊. Good job !
I meant square
I love the shape of the bow! It cuts through water like a hot knife through butter.
