Floats

[Chuck Hochhalter]

I haven't heard of the roaches BUT... with the desity of water and
increased torque on the rudders... at which voltage should I run?
I mean really, a 6v pack with a regulator to 5.7 works great on the
basic control surfaces but should I run a separate receiver and system
with a true 6v to the rudders and coreless digital so that I can have
instant torque?

Not sure which way to go, I have plenty of room in the floats to do
this..
Sigh

Thanks again
Chuck Hochhalter

Were those coreless roaches?
