Motor Boat RC small (experimental) by wersy

Even small boats can be seaworthy ;-) http://youtu.be/zP-G-ovutto
Actually, this is my first motor boat, but I had as yet not such a small receiver. That's why it comes at last.
It has the same hull shape like one of the boats here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:204303
Additionally now with a keel a stern tube a motor mount and a rudder unit to make it ready for RC and of course a propeller.
The boat which is shown on the video has no additional stern tube. The shaft runs directly in the plastic.
It must be well greased and you have to look out not to overheat it. Otherwise you will get holes very soon.
The second version (motor_boat_stern_tube_small) has a bigger stern tube outside contour. This is destined to insert a brass stern tube (inside diameter 1 mm, outside 1.5 mm), like my bigger boats have. It should fit, but I haven't tested it.
The coupling simply consists of a heat shrink tube
