Hi
Can anybody help me ?
I am an RC novice and I have inherited an old 27mhz Lifeboat model to try and fix
The model doesn't have a rudder and is steered using the propellors only.
When steering to the left the left hand propellor goes into reverse and the right hand propellor retains its forward thrust so turning the boat to the left.
However only 1 prop/channel appears to be working. I have tested both motors and they both appear to work so the problem seems to be with the PCB in the boat.
Does anybody think there may be a replacement system out there for me to use ?
There are 6 wires coming off the PCB at the moment

Battery +
Battery -
Switch on/off
Antenna
Right motor
Left motor

Any help would be gratefully received

Thank you

Without finding the exact same boat to get the PCB out of, you're left biying a completely new system, radio, esc, etc. The reason being is the PCB likely has the radio built into it.

As stated in your intro thread, pics would really help.
