>>6093043I've got one, OP.
I'm looking for some RC watercraft that is capable of towing a max of 1 pound on a separate raft.
First, some background.
My home board is /k/. There's a quarterly meet up happening in about a month. This particular one is going to include land with a small pond acting as a nice, natural firing line and geographical divider. It has long been tradition to blow something up with tannerite, but those are always static. Since this will NOT be static, some form of boat or another to act as a tugboat to my one-time-use popsicle stick (or other stick; it's a fucking forested area) raft carrying .5 - 1.0 pound explosive charge with about 30 feet of fishing line.
I've only just begun research, and I'm on a budget (since I don't expect the tugboat to survive very long once the bullets start to fly). I ran across pic related in a local Wal-Mart, and reviews show it's capable of amphibious activity out of the box, but I don't know about a few other things.
-2.4 GHz is a decent freq, but it doesn't explain a max distance of transmission.
-rechargeable batteries are great, but I don't know the power drain on this 3.7v/450mAh, or how long it takes to fully recharge (some places say an hour, though)
-max speed is not listed, but video shows about 3-5 knots
-if it comes to it, I can rig it to drag a target out somewhere and release it to preserve the thing
Thoughts? Can I find better? Is there something more accessible that I haven't looked at?
