5833 Speedboat with underwater motor

[Customizer]

When I first saw your super photos, I was hoping that it mght be an RC boat from Playmobil.

I wonder if they're ever going to make one?

All the best and thanks again,
Richard

At toyfair 2006 i ask Mr. Hane about a RC Version he said Playmobil had a Beta Version but there are some Problems.............

We had 2008 no RC boats yet ? hmmm We can wait for the Future ?!

We all know that toy RC boats, from other manufacturers, have been available in the toy stores for a long, long time. I can't understand why Playmobil can't make one.

Did Mr. Hane say what kind of "problems" they were having?

Andi, do you know of anyone who has made a customized Playmobil RC boat?

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard,
I made a couple of Playmobil RC boats some time ago.
One was a two masted square rigger, the other was a
Asian sampan/junk.  Both sailed well.  I posted the
square rigger in Customs , I believe, but can,t remember
if I posted the sampan.

Best regards,
Jimbo

Hello, Jim ...

All I could find was THIS ...

Is this the one you used for RC?

[Jimbo]

Hi Richard,
That's not the one.  That one is still in dry dock.  I found the "R.C. Square rigger"
on page 10 of the customs gallery, at the bottom of the page. I did not know how to transfer it to this thread.
The square rigger has been sold, but I still have the sampan. 

Best regards,
Jimbo

Thanks, Jimbo ...

Can you tell us what you did to set it up for RC control?

[Jimbo]

Hello Richard and all.
Making that RC was easy.  I used Knightmo's RC car radio, and ran a
single servo to the ships rudder, which was made slightly oversized.
As far as room for the reciever, batteries and servo..no problem.
Ship is about 4 feet long and at least a foot wide.
I kinda built the ship around the radio.

Best regards,
Jimbo

Hi Richard,

ok i start a RC ship collection here: 

http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1986.msg21545#msg21545

I dont know the problems but i think there comes water inside the rc module.
But you must change the batteries. The module are allways in the water.
If you look at the actual underwater motor, after a longer time there comes water inside !
The Problem was the axis with the propeller here comes water inside.

but i hope for this rc ship module to have a super summer fun !!
