thanks for you detailed explanation about the electronics you'd use, but I have no clue to do this (for now). Maybe later if I find a colleague next to me who will do that for me.
So, maybe you will show us later what's possible to do with this kit :thumbup:
I have seen you live in Austria, if you ever come to Graz I will be here willing to help.
I am one of the electronic freaks here.

The original gear motor is too weak, so I’ve designed a stronger one as mentioned before.

Temporary I’m using the WPL gear for steering, but will be later exchanged with a servo.

Some progress and details at the lower hull…

For easy moving, flange bearings are used.
