Bitza ready for RC/Battery

BITZA No 3

Ready for the next phase: RC/Battery. Looking for cheap and cheerful solution.

Dug deep in the bits box to salvage an old 2017 Stainz that had seen far better days.

Show us your battery cars!

Simplest and most economical method I have found to add battery R/C to a loco.

Take a look at the “basic” or budget priced systems put together by RCS. (RCS-RC.COM) A little more expensive but you get a proper controller with knobs.

Wes,

E komo mai! Welcome! Lovely STAINZ modification!
