I saw a little Lindberg tug with a hot 400 motor- could actually maintain a "wheelie" across the pond!

[Ghost 2501]

aint often ya see a model tug pulling a proppie!

[der kapitan]

Hoo boy! Are we getting a bit frisky here---? :D

[pkboo]

That's one powerful motor prop combo! Boo

[Jerome Morris]

Nice looking model too!

[Xatan]

Uhhuh... gives me ideas -> A 'sleeper'. Deep-V, surface piercing prop, brushless, watercooled, LiPo, tugboat. :eek:

[Kmot]

Bristol Bay wheelie/proppie. No backing up. :p

[charlie eaton]

Anyone remember the thread with the R/C duck doing ''wheelies''?

[ray285]

hi guys the motors are robbe 'navys' 5;1 on 12volt the props are 97mm in kort nozzels regards ray

[keith S]

My old "Apache" ( same hull Ray) would do the same. Wheeelie fun to do digging holes in the water.

[Predreadnut]

Charley, I remember the brushless powered duck...I laughed so hard when I saw the video!

[tsenecal]

If it weren't for the "unscale" appearance of the water in the third photo of the first post, i would have trouble recognizing that tug as a model.

Ray - Are those the Robbe props and korts or something else. I was looking at the Robbe prop sets until I noticed they require the 6mm shaft and porpeller drive dog which drives up the price and somewhat modifys the "scale look" of the underwater gear.

Great tug! I agree that the last picture really makes you look twice. Running free with a nice bone in'er teeth! :cool:

hi all thanks for the comments

hi tugboat andy they are the robbe 100mm nozzels but the shafts are 6mm from propshop & props are also from the prop shop 97mm regards ray

[charlie eaton]

The duck is really worth seeing. The thread was by ''dirtysouth31'' dated July 16 2007 at 08:04. Two video's in thread. Ray you'll get a kick out of it.

Does this count as a 'Tug boat wheely'?.. :o

[ray285]

hi toe's yes or could be a tugboat 'donut' :D (like rally cars do)

regards ray
