Wouldnt it be great if they made these too! was sitting in the bath and thought, 'how cool would a boat-100 be!'

you could terrorise the ducks down at the local pond



Posted by Merovingian
why terrorising them? poor duckies... I like to feed the duckies that are living here.. they become quite happy if you give them a slice of bread or something

Hmm drive a plane for only 10 mts...Would be better a Mosquito-100

Posted by batesie
ok how about put bread on boat-100 and sail it out to them. i'll feed the swans too ;-)

Posted by Merovingian
@batesie: that was a good idea... the swans here are living only a couple of meters from my house.. swans are pretty birds

Posted by batesie
could someone modify a car100 into a boat100?

Posted by Merovingian
maybe we could make one... what do we need? waterproof engine, bluetooth module, some kind of firmware and some kind of simple controlling unit

Posted by batesie
Lets do it! scrapheap challenge style!

Posted by Merovingian
yeah... the hardest parts to get though will be the right Bluetooth unit and the right firmware...

I'd put twin 250s on my boat-100

Interpol, see ya later!

Posted by Merovingian
and I'll put an 747 engine on mine

Posted by kimcheeboi
i'd make a drug-smuggling empire with my boat-100 if only i didn't have to charge it with my phone and it lasted longer than 10 minutes

Posted by plasmadog
i'd bluejack ALL your boat100/plane100s

What about Submarine-100? Guys you'll need 100m that would be better. Firmware can be the same but servo has to be replaced. So one problem less...

Posted by djpowelly
On the serious note, couldnt youy rip apart a CAR-100 and out a boat body on it etc?

Posted by Atlis
Basically, I see no problem about it. powered wheels will be used for sailing with prop and steering for steering - could be done by few pieces of plastic, flexible material and rods... No problem for plastic kits modeller.

@Atlis so bastle it

Posted by Atlis
@Andrew gimme one CAR

Posted by Yazan24
Yeah somone should do it.

Posted by Atlis
As I said to Andrew - one CAR...

A straight forward conversion wouldnt make a boat, you would need to totally re model it and fiddle with the software, however a padel boat is much more realistic, reverse the motor and bring the turning gear to the rear, cut the top off, paint it red and put a barbie doll on top, instant padel boat. Or you could put a steam boat shell on it and have steam coming out of the funnel. Nice



Posted by Atlis
I think that classic configuration with helm and screw would be as a easy as that - no problem - does anybody have pics of his/her CAR? from all sides - to make the construction clear? THX...

i have in mind to modify my car 100 like this: tuning ! i`ll put a bigger battery, better engine(very easy to replace), new bigger wheels and tires:). Only the bt unit will remain. The problem is with stearing, is based on electromagnetic fields. But i`ll find a way to control my car 1000

Posted by Elrond
@petrutms If you do it, then please post pictures how you do it.

Posted by bart
i think its quit posible to build such a boat. like said here before, the steering of the weels could be reconnected to steer the boat. all it takes is a guy with some time. don't make it 2 big, about the same size.

hmm would be cool to see this from SE. a boat-100 a hovercraft-100.
a plain would be nice but would demand to much power.

oh, but since the boat-100 would be small and leight. a small wave could knock it over :s = bad idea (for now)


Posted by Atlis
bart - plain wouldn't be possible - range problem. Boat doesn't have to be very light. Again, range would be problem, youcan build yacht for example. Range range range. 100m :bt: is obligatory!

Posted by bart
then will just have to wait for the CAR-200 with range up to 100m and then try to change it

Posted by Elrond
Or if you're a technical type, then you can insert a 100m chip and maybe change the fw a bit to handle it.

Posted by boto43
this is only fantasy.Reach of is very short.Only a car can be reality.100 m for boat and plane is not enough .

What about a Wi-Fi modification. It would be great, but this is to far. That's really impossible.

Posted by bart
no wifi. keep the bluetooth dream alive!

what about a hovercraft-100

Posted by Elrond
I would like to see a helicopter-100

Posted by boto43
Reach of wifi is approximately the same as 100 , or am I wrong?

Posted by bart
some wifi versions can go for miles, as can bluetooth

Posted by Residentevil
Let's say you get your car-100 modified into a boat-100 and put it in the pond. After 10m it gets out of range and you have to jump to get it back.

Posted by bart
just use it in your local swimingpool or bad

Posted by Atlis
Boto there's no problem with 100m range, 'cause some modellers build plains for hall flying with weight about few grams... But aircraft is much more complex and difficult to handle. Boat seams to be more realistic idea.

Posted by GreatDane
Ok, as I see it, here are your easy options for this one...all of which can be found on ebay.
First, the boat that everyone is talking about:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayIS[....]gory=1200&item=5914236634&rd=1
Next the submarine:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayIS[....]gory=2564&item=5914704370&rd=1
the hovercraft:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayIS[....]gory=3212&item=4318295692&rd=1
And lastly, the helicopter:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayIS[....]gory=2563&item=5913837660&rd=1


with just a little bit of modifying, i think that that car-100 internals can be switched out with the insides of all of these things, making for a semi-easy conversion
