Try using 27 turns or higher. Many modlers will recommend a 45-55 turn motor to maximize running time and minimize heat. ESC - Electronic Speed Controls MTRONIKS have been highly recommended for their low end response. For standard propellers, a 15-20 amp ESC is all that is required.

Nice pictures!!! I'm going to have to add a Springer to the list! They are popular in my club (SFMYC) with lots of Springer events on the calendar... I'm going to have to join the fun!
I really like the looks of the one in "Photo 26" do drawings for that superstructure exist / are they available? also, really like the looks of the fuel dock in "photo 27"! D'oh! forgot the name of the boat! "Ink-something"!

Which pond is that with all the rocks in it? Wish I knew, I think it is somewhere in Washington. The North West R/c Ship Modelers, they are the people that came up with the Springer design. Their website is The North West R/c Ship Modelers It looks like a challenging place to sail? Yes it sure does look like a challenging place to sail, even more challenging with a barge or two. But the way the Springer boats are built I'm sure they could handle a hit or two on the rocks. |

Thanks for the starting point on the super structure Boater! the drawings and illustration will be very useful!
What thickness of wood is typically used on these models? Pictures look like the hulls are @ 3/8" pine sides with 1/8" plywood bottoms? Also what can be said about the 1:1 tugs? they look like maybe they are utility types used mainly around the docks? Thanks!
