Hello guys!

In the meanwhile im waiting for the pieces to finish my nissan and a lot of stuff i have in "WIP" state, i moved to my hometown for one month, but i didnt take my legos with me...

Here i only have 90's lego parts.... i was checking what i had in that bucket and had this idea :P

hope you'll like it and i really hope someone improves it with a bigger hull, bigger gears and stronger rubber bands ;)

That is a really neat idea that I will use as a base for improvement. Perhaps I could add a bigger propellor and use 4501130, the more modern floating hull from lego

yeah definitely go for something different than the one i used :P

this one would work great in my opinon!

it's still small but will handle way more weight than the one i had :)

Is that black upright piece just jammed between the studs? It seems to me that that's the weak point of the design. How easy would it be to brace it with a transverse member between the rowlocks?

oh yeah, if you watch the video i've reinforced it immediately after with a technic plate and two 1.x2 plates :)

omg i so wanna make an RC boat!

unfortunately the only hulls that are good for what i have in mind (a motorboat) are the one used by Grohl (wich is huuuuuge) and a smaller one wich doesn't give me the right vibrations to put a lipo battery on it xD

Oh so you did - I missed the link to the video.

Carry on.

I've made a few Lego rc boats and I didn't use a Lego hull. Instead I built a technic frame, then I wrapped multiple layers of plastic wrap around it to create the frame. You could also use a thicker plastic bag so not as many layers are needed.
