boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

WELL GUYS its all wired up again for the 5th time bar the R/X as that has go to be fitted in the bow section of the ship so i dont get any interferance from the motors an i'll work that all out tomorrow an gave it a try out now its all properly wired up an all 4 motors work perfectly an when i hit the cutout switch the front motors stop an just the rear ones are goin then just hit the switch on my tramitter an then all 4 motors are off again well so it looks like its all sorted but i may have teething probs when up the pond but thats yrs away so no worries yet
