RC circuit using 12 V 4500 rpm motor with gearboxes attached

Okay so i am making an RC cirucit to attach to the bottom of a baot that will be carrying a few people in it. I will have 3 brushed DC motors with 4500 rpm and then im just figuring out where to go from there. Do i need a motor controller for each motor and then with the arduino that will be hooked up to it all, can i just program everything in there and be good? I thought this would be mroe straightforward than it is, alas, it is not

Hi there,

Welcome on the forum.

A good kit to start would be the following:


Note that this works for small embarcation, I believe you will need more torque for a ‘‘few people’’ embarcation.
Let me know how it goes and if this help you getting started.
