Default Graupner/ Hobby Lobby Electro Vee

I have just purchaced an Electro Vee Kit and had some questions, thanks in advance:

1. I'm missing the small disc shaped motor capacitor, which one do I need, can I get it from radio shack?

2. Can I run 2 6 cell packs with the speed control/ motor combo that it comes with , I think its a graupner 600bb with a gear drive like 2:1, and the speed control can run the packs in a series/parallel to give full forward and half forward.

3. What kind of speeds can I expect with the stock set up?

4. Any problem areas?

Thanks again all!!

Only 6-7 cells at a time with that 600bb motor, usually that motor has the capacitor built in,,, about 15mph, I believe u got a steerable drive, (rudder & prop all in one) be careful in turns at speed, it can cause rollover & the drive system has abit too much drag (friction),,, otherwise, enjoy
