RE: Custom boat transmitter!
It's been done many times before, but it's been limited to custom and one off's. I imagine that you could sell a kit, or a pre assembled box and let others assemble it. Otherwise it might run into copyright issues with the electronics. You could use Hobby King equipment... The Chinese don't pay attention to copyrights... [8|] Then selling complete units would have plenty of potential. [8D]

RE: low signal ?????
If your OLD transmitter is [b]40mhz[/b], and the NEW transmitter is [b]35mhz[/b], then there is really no way it should talk to your bait boat at all.. It is like putting AAA batteries in to an AA battery holder, it doesn't fit. There are typically 3O channels for each Frequency. You didn't change the[i] channel[/i], you changed the [i]frequency[/i]. It would require a complete retuning of the 35mhz radio to make work properly. You should be able to dry out and clean up your old 40mhz transmitter. The instructions given above are a good guide. If the transmitter does not come back to life, you need to buy another [b]40mhz[/b] transmitter.

RE: Boat leaning to the right when throttle is applied
Couldn't this be a simple matter of "prop walk"? The boat is trimmed level while at rest, but as soon as the boat is given power, the propeller (counter clockwise rotation) walks the bottom of the boat out to the left, and tips the boat to the right. [;)]

RE: Running RC Boats from an aluminum row boat?
Most likely it was the wall of water from the rooster tail of your models.[:o] And it isn't a particularly good idea to be in a boat on the water while running your models. If there is a loss of control of a model, it could hit the boat, and puncture the hull. Seems like there were pictures of such incidents showing a model boat thru the side of a rowboat, and another through a canoe hull.

RE: Show us your unusual builds...
The Spar Platform, and the Shearleg Crane was the unusual build last year. The spar platform can float on it's own, or be anchored, the crane is operational, and was built for tugboat competition. Two or more tugs must maneuver and hold the crane in postion while the crane's load is lowered into place on the spar patform. The challenge is based on an event first held in Belgium in 2009. [:D]
