Admiring Tom's submarine models, led to me idly checking model boats and ships out on the net. Then I chanced upon this widescreen wonder: a 1/10 scale (?) model of the Yamato I wonder how many Li-Pos, and what sort of ESC you'd need to get this beast underway!! :

Meantime, I also found a really useful account of model electronics for beginners (and above) in the Model Boat magazine. The article is called "But, I don't understand electronics!". It covers, ESCs, motors (pros and cons of available types..); batteries; switches; lights; smokers..and much more.. it even covers the turret; albeit the warship version. The article also has lots of approachable diagrams (for the not so 'technical' ), and neat illustrations. Much of this should be of interest for people new to model tanking too...er, or could be..

Having wondered how Jeman would get his 19 stone bruiser- the Mark 1 Crusader (1/16 scale) into his car..or living room.. how would he, or anyone, cope with this!? :
