Re: PT Boat help and advice
Its good that the main RC Tank forum has the diversity of including other RC vehicles etc, and I posted here initially because I thought it would save me joining a specific RC boat forum which I may have to do it seems to get some of the answers and advice I would like, thanks for what input has been given so far though !

Re: PT Boat help and advice
Look for a Flysky two channel transmitter/receiver kit on Amazon (there are surface and air versions), probably less than $50 (Stick or Wheel). Both your steering servo and speed control will plug into the RX. As for the battery a 7.2 stick battery should be just the ticket. I would try that motor once you get it going before just swapping it out.

Re: PT Boat help and advice
Yes, Pine-Tree72, you probably could get more specific help on a marine-specific RC forum. I do, however, think Ecam's suggestions are quite good. Regardless, I would be interested to see the PT Boat as you progress with it and launch it. Quite a few of us have at least one or two RC boats.
