Did anyone catch that this ship is the Olympic, the sister ship to the Britannic and the Titanic?

And more than one sister ship too.

RMS Olympic (/ʊˈlɪmpɪk/) was a British transatlantic ocean liner, the lead ship of the White Star Line's trio of Olympic-class liners. Unlike her younger sister ships, Olympic had a long career, launched in 1910 and spanning 24 years from 1911 to 1935.

The Olympic-class ocean liners were a trio of British ocean liners built by the Harland & Wolff shipyard for the White Star Line during the early 20th century. They were Olympic (1911), Titanic (1912), and Britannic (1915). All three were designed to be the largest and most luxurious passenger ships in the world, designed to give White Star an advantage in the transatlantic passenger trade. Two were lost early in their careers: Titanic sank in 1912 on her maiden voyage, after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean, and Britannic in 1916, after hitting a mine laid by the minelayer submarine U-73 in a barrier off Kea in the Aegean Sea during World War I. Olympic, the lead vessel, had a career spanning 24 years and was retired in 1934 and sold for scrapping in 1935.

But, the Titanic, Olympic and Britannic all had only 3 funnels, the 4th was a dummy, just for appearances.

Electric vs. Nitro RC Vehicles

Weight
Just looking under the hood, it's obvious that the nitro RC is going to weigh more than the electric. It simply has more parts sitting on that metal chassis. Although the high-grade aluminum and titanium are lightweight metals, they are still metal rather than the weight-reducing carbon-fiber plastics of an electric RC.
