hey guys.. I need a bit of help with my working "toy" RC 1/144 gato... and by design instead of a WTC I'm just using a small 7inch or so long box around the center of the subs interior
basically I need some ideas.... it's pretty simple but I'd rather do it right the first time but keeping it pretty simple.
the box has to have a SEALED but relativelt easy removeable top so I can get the Lipo in and out to charge it
I'm gonna check some tuperware containers but the demensions are a lil weird to slip into the hull to find on the shelf
...but anyone got some designs for an oringed simple screw down top box? I have some ideas.. and the screws would have to go in 'outside' the oring ... maybe just a styrene box with a lil ledge.. nuts epoxied under the ledge (with holes through the styrene) ..then ont he inside edge of the box epoxied balsa/square dowel for the oring to sit in.. and then a sheet of clear 3 or 4 mm lexan? should I use a length of oring material epoxied or siliconed into the 'loop' notch?
if using said above idea.. how many bolts? 1 per inch? I had thought about just a plastic screw type jar as a WTC .. instead but the lipo would be a hair to 'big' to weasle in and out of the screw off end and there just wouldn't be the room in the hull to be messing around with it ... as I would imagine I will have to change the lil lipo atleast once at the lake
so the screwed down relatively easily removable top would be the best for this application

.. the kits stock bulkheads... (all the seam in this section siliconed.. or epoxied.. or both!... .. and then silicone the top few inchs of a double lock zip lock bag (the good stuff ofcourse! no expense spared! 
)
