Victory Vosper crash tender RC conversion

About six weeks ago I bought an old model boat from a friend of mine.
He had aquired it in a bulk lot of old boat kits he purchased.
He asked me if any of the models interested me and I said yes. What's up with the Vosper model?
It looks like an interesting old boat.
Well we came to a deal and at out next pool run money was exchanged for an OLD box.
When I got home I opened the box and was pleasantly supprized with the model inside.
I don't think a lot of these were imported to the USA as I had never heard of the model before.
I set about finding more about the model and could see it was very popular in its
day. The info search is what led me to this web site. I found the RC conversion which had been done previously.
I have been thinking of a way to do a quick conversion on mine using as much of the stock boat as I could.
So what I have come up with is.
1-Keeping the stock motor and drive system.
2-Not removing the deck.
3-Accessing the rudders through a removeable hatch in the rear.
I know the props are too big, they are both the same direction, the Mighty Midget is under powered, and the rudders are small. 😭
But I don't want to reinvent the wheel. 😉
Just add steering and motor control and make a stately cruising little boat.
Time will tell how I do.
So stay tuned. Dave
