Hey guys, new member here. Been into large gas boats for many years but they are a pain and the neighbors complain when I run mine in the canal...I would too.
And being that I am into full scale boats I am building a scale Scarab like the one I own.
Here is a picture of my real boat.

Now the scale build. I know its not going to be a scale replica, but it will be a twin outboard center console. I have never seen an RC like this before.
The hull I am using is an Aeromarine 31" Challenger. I cut the deck out to resemble the cuddy cabin layout of my boat.

I built an engine bracket to hold the electric outboards. I will also build a deck, console and radar arch.

Motors dry fit, it will take some doing to get the CG and motor hight right, but I have rigged and hung motors on a few full scale boats including mine pictured above so i think I can get this one done.

This is where I'm at now. I'll update as I make progress. I already have all the components such as radio, ESC, ect that I got from Steve at OSE. Just need some batteries.
What batteries will be good for some decent run time? I have some 11.1 volt 3000 mAh LiPos from my RC Heli's I can use. Or do you guys recommend NiCad packs instead. They are brushed 550 motors.
