Wow Chris, that is one amazing looking ship. Glad you got the electrics sorted. Have you got a BSc in electronics by chance, looks like a lot of spaghetti to me.

HI GUYS well a little bit back on my tiger as i thought she was already to go for her next sortie on Norwich pond but new infomataion has come to light today from a gent on another forum regardin the ESC 'S wires over heating an melitin so a couple of pics of what ive been dicussin with the gent an firstly a pic of the actual leads he has sent me an im still not sure what they will do but i think they are mini critcal cutoff chips units or solid state relays to stop the wires gettin to hot fitted inline from the ESC'S to THE R/X an here they are will fit them in when i have a chance
