Will this boat(toy) plan work?

ok, i disassembled an rc car and took out the insides. Im planning to make a boat out of it. My plan was to put the 2 motors, from the toy car, on either side of a platform( this will act as the rear end) with motors apart like 3-5 inches away from each other. Now, when i turn one of the motors on, will it make the boat turn the other way? like if i turn the motor on the right will it made the boat turn left? I assume that if i turn both motors on, it would go straight? Can i maneuver the boat with the motors positioned like that?

advide on making weedeater boat?

Hey i am wanting to make a rc weedeater powered double hull style rc boat about .75 meters long , a guy at my school has made one for a tech project but has left and i wanted to make the same thing, what i need to know is how should i shape the fibreglass into a hull and get it even, i was thinking of doing it with atype of polystyrene because after i have finished i can just dissolve the polystyrene and have a hollow hull but the foam is too coarse to mould into a even shape and i was wondering if anyone had come across a higher density foam or another method. thanks
and also if anyone knows of any websites with instructions on this could you please list them .

thanks

Need help picking a deck level on RC Mariner of the Seas cruise?

We want a balcony room for our 7 night mexico cruise, but im a bit confused as to what would be a deck level and weather we want front, back or middle. I of course want…

minimal hallway traffic (how would I know what areas are popular…the elevators? what about the promenade?)

no obstructed views (like life boats, which i can’t see on the deck plan map)

private balcony (nobody able to see from above)

minimal engine noise ( I assume the back of the ship would be louder)

maybe big enough to layout on the balcony (is 46 sq ft big enough?) I know the corner rooms have bigger balconies, but the back has the engine and the front is more expensive….right?

and if I want sunset views on the way there (from LA to Mexico) I would want a room the the right side of the ship….right?

Im also confused about the pricing…I heard that pricing is determined by where on the ship you have a room, but then what is the posted $720 per person for a balcony room? it must go up depending on the level you are on…right? how do i know the actual price of the room before I book?

I find the deck plans on RC’s websites confusing, and since I have never cruised before I have no idea how to find what im looking for.

Question for knowledgeable cruise goers easy 10 points :) (royal Caribbean preferred)?

I have never been on a cruise before. I am going on a cruise in March to Mexico, Belize, and Grand Cayman on Royal Caribbean. I was wondering if anyone who has been on a RC cruise could give me an estimated price range for cocktails, and other alcoholic beverages on the ship.

Also… Am I allowed to purchase a bottle of liquor in one of our destinations, and bring it back on the boat with me to my room?

please and thank you :)

Where can remote control boats be used?

I don’t have a pool but was wondering if RC boats (store bought) can be used in public creeks / ponds (no chance of hitting the bottom of course). Any suggestions?
Not helpful. Generally speaking, can RC boats be used in public ponds/creeks?

What is the easiest way to melt down aluminum cans?

I’d like to know because I have a gas powered RC boat and I’d like to make some positives to make spare part molds. The company is no longer in business and no other company picked up production of the model. Parts for this model are becoming harder and harder to find.

Thanks for any info.
