Hi Petros ,
1. I think the frequency for model boats in Germany is 40 Mhz . Whatever frequency you use , be sure you do not infringe your local laws
2. R/Cing Snowberry is a very good idea , there is plenty of room in this hull , and about the ESC's , just buy some , the prices are getting down with the years , count about 50 � for a very good one , able to sustain 10 to 15 Amperes under 12 Volts , this should be enough for the motor you'll put in there ...
3. to avoid water getting in your model while "at sea" , you'll have to put grease in your propeller and rudder tubes . With very well machined prop shafts , some modellers use oil instead of grease ; I always use a vegetable grease in my shafts , I dont want to pollute the pond I'm sailing on , there are ducks & geese sailing on that water too ( some modellers put motor oil in their shafts , or even worse , they put that
stinking gearbox oil in there )
with grease , you put some at the beginning of the sailing season , and you're good for the whole year , but with oil , you'll have to put some each time you put your model into the water , can be annoying when you have no or little access ...
Regards ,
Laurent
