Hi there.
I am having a problem sourcing a radio controlled speed controller for my paddle ship Scotia.
Can some kind soul please point me in the direction of a mail order store that stocks them. Must be suitable for 12volts and with reverse??
My local shop here in Spain has so far managed to come up with a 7.2 volt unit and assured me that it was OK for 12v. When I returned it to the store they gave me one for 12v which turned out not have any reverse, as it was for helicopter!!
Thanks for all suggestions.
Regards
David

I'm going to Blackpool model boat show on sunday David, so I could pick you one up and pop it in the post if you want?

You've already said 12v with reverse, so all I need to know is amperage?
