525.0. "What ever floats your boat" by AISVAX::JONEILL () Mon May 02 1988 12:01

    I have a sterling cris craft I've been working on on and off. I'ts
    a plastic hull with a wood frame interior, 19" long for gas or
    electric.I plan on useing a 540 motor from a R/C car with a battery
    from the same. I need some info as to what prop should be used,
    what kind of shaft to use (flex or solid) and a goodf place to look
    for all this. Any help is appreciated.
                                                  Thanks Jim

    Both Dumas and Midwest have the requisite stuff to power
    boats. Dumas probably has the largest selection, including
    various motor and battery combinations...

    Robbe is another, though I seem to recall that they are
    mostly designed for their kits??

525.3NEED RC BOAT STUFF ?GRANMA::WFIGANIAKThu Dec 15 1988 11:486
    IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR RUNNING GEAR, STUFFING BOXES,SHAFTS,
    PROPS AND SUCH, TRY OCTRA. MOST OF THEIR ADS ARE IN THE MAGS
    ON RC. I THINK ITS TWO BUCKS AND THEY WILL SEND YOU AN 
    UNBELIVABLE LIST OF WHAT THEY MAKE AND RECOMENDATIONS FOR
    USE. I ALSO BELEIVE THEY ARE MUCH CHEAPER THAN DUMAS.
