MUSASHI, courtesy of Mark Hampton.<br /><br />Mark built his Musashi from a Dyosho kit back in 2002. He installed a JR am radio with Msoniks Marine 15 ESC.<br /><br />The original motor was replaced with a 9-18 volt motor from Radio shack which is geared to drive all 4 propellers, and provides much more torque with higher voltage. It runs on 8 D-cell batteries and has a lifetime of more than 3 hours per charge!<br /><br />In the future, Mark plans to add smoke to the stack, replace the radio with a 6-channel radio, make the turrets controllable, and maybe adjustable ballast.<br /><br />For now at least, this Musashi is already a gorgeous piece of work!<br /><br />To see a video of this Musashi, please go to; <a href="http://media.putfile.com/IJN-MUSASHI-wsteamer">http://media.putfile.com/IJN-MUSASHI-wsteamer</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Built By: Mark Hampton<br />Built: 2002<br />Overall Length: 42 inches<br />Overall Width:<br />Home Waters: in and around Lebanon, Ohio, USA<br /></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34879716-115896986552186372?l=hamptonmusashi.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Barrett Hochhaushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18243563683649469320noreply@blogger.com1
