Hi Bobby,
Nice build! I just wanted to comment about your choice in regards to dumas speed controller and 6v batteries. I also had to make a decision when I got my Lord Nelson. Dumas said they no longer run the 6v speed controllers in there bolts or the gel batteries. I was a little confused as tower hobbies still sells this stuff. The guy at dumas said they run regular ESC with standard 7.2v batteries which is what I used. I use 3200's.


In regards to using the gel batterie as weight, you can use small Zip Lock bags and put BB's in them. The bags can be found at any craft store or Walmart and are 3 inch by 2 inch. I used about 6 in my Lord Nelson. I used a little less than needed as I have a sound kit and some other items in the hull to add weight.

Anyways thats my two cents.
