    I talked to Tony about this and he loved the idea... I tried to get ProBoat to name it the "ProperLipo-Holder"... didn't fly!

    It's a good idea that is nice insurance against the batteries popping the hatch in a flip.

    By the way, when it flips... this boat does SPECTACULAR flips! Especially when it's approaching 70!

          I have 2 of these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=11940
          Turnigy nano-tech 6000mah 4S 25~50C Lipo Pack

          and i have been running them 1 at a time of course in my Stiletto ...now i have the Mystic on the way and the Impulse 31 on Pre order ...Can i use these in all 3 of these boats?...I was concerned about the Mystic because it looks like you need 2 batterys to balance it out....but i couldnt use 2 of these in the mystic could i?

            I actually ran this boat with a single 4S pack several times and it works fine. One COULD remove the stud holding the battery hold-down and just use Velcro, or add some tie-down straps as well. With the motor towards the back like it is, and the long, wide, battery trays, getting many different battery configs to balance is doable.

                          One can run either (2) 4S packs wired in parallel or (2) 2S packs wired in series. Both scenarios will produce 14.8 volts (4S total). A third option is to run a single 4S pack as well.

                              Looks like a very well thought out boat, leaves very little reason for people to be building monos in this size from scratch :D

                              The offset wet well stuffing box is just amazing on a RTR boat!
                              Light travels faster than sound, so people may appear to be bright until you hear them speak.
