I just wanted to give a report on my battery tube I am using in the Gato.
You are not left with a lot of room once everything is inside of the hull so I wanted to have an easy to remove power source that would be low in the hull and supply a good run time. Looks like my battery tube idea has worked out quite well. It’s easy to install, sits right on the keel, and as I have found out is giving excellent run time. I had a full charge on my batteries last Sunday and ran for 1 3/4 hours. A recharge only took 1500MA.
I was poring the coals on too at times.

I am using a very high 5.33/1 ratio in my gearbox for low current draw. The batteries I have in my tube have a 2500MA capacity so run times should be very good. BD.
