    i dont understand what you are talking about with the 440 screws

                  I see you like Electronic Packing Material for Boat Stands too!! I glued a piece of 1/8" ply wood to the bottom and made two strips going across the top, the width of the tunnel, and the bottom makes a nice place to put an extra battery.
                  Ose will send you some stickers if you ask they look nice,
                  And Your boat looks nice as well, Take a video of the Madin Run you only get one!! your boat should really move out and handle very well, make sure you use the right and left cables (if you are using cables)

                    sorry but one 7.4 5000 is not gonna power 2 systems and fans do not work in sealed small areas, hence watercooling

                        The fans will help I know this for a fact I use one on my big boat and it works! you are running your batteries in parallel right? and you are using 2 of them correct? they do look a little small but if you had 4 of them since you already have 2 you could wire them up for 4s2p (taking two of them and wiring them in series then take the other 2 and do the same thing) and make 2 packs running them in parallel and then you would have plenty of power as long as your esc's could hack 4s as I do not know what Amp rating they are

                          they will work in big boats, i said in small sealed areas- like this boat. what do you mean you cant watercool the esc's- they have heat sinks on them dont they. just get or buils a cooling plate foe each esc. and for the batteries those are 1 5000 mah 7.2 2s2p with 2500 mah per side parralelled together for 5000 mah. you will need 2 of those setups one for each esc- and thats not much power. i would at least want a 3cell for each esc-boats dont run very fast until theryr on 4s, but a twin drive 3s per side should be very nice. it would be similar to the new king of shaves 34" brushless setup
