Remote Controlled SOLAR POWERED Barge

Here is a solar powered barge I built. Sorry, no instructible but it's VERY BASIC R/C stuff. If you can hook up an RC car you can hook this up. Just wire the solar panel in parallel with the battery. It's that simple.

The solar panel and motor are from a solar attic fan. Everything else is from the R/C Store.

Why do people post things before they look them up? I really don't understand this. The few seconds it takes to post an incorrect fact could be used to type in three words into google and see that there are in fact "self propelled barges" There are pics of them, facts on them .... even some for sale! You could even simply type it into Webster's online dictionary and see the definition reads that barges are "usually" propelled by tow which means there are some that are not. Come on peeps ... take two seconds to research things before you post incorrect information. It just makes you look bad.
