    Really we goin here????? 26+ years racing rc, I've spent over 25k in receivers alone!!!! Ok what I have in the garage right now??? (BTW I have thrown away given away or sold more than I own right now) 36 boats all with motors controllers and radio gear, (not to mention the other dozen or so still in build process) I have 5 1/5th scale cars, 10 1/8 scale cars and oh lets say 2 dozen 1/10th scale cars, a dozen mini z's and 15-20 assorted 1/12-1/18 cars. a half dozen helis and lets say about 35-40 planes. All cars boats and planes have high end radio gear, speedos and motors plus $100-150 servos in each car boat plane (planes have many) wow I have almost 300 props!!! $40-50 each, add that up!!! ouch... I have 16 Hydra Ice speedos on the workbench as spares that aren't even in boats!!!!! There's 18 chargers lying around my garage and power supplies to match. Now Imagine I have at least 6 battery packs for each and every one of those cars boats planes and helis!!!!!! SHIZNIT I am in this crap deeper than you could all imagine!!!!! Oh did I mention the over 1400 HO slot cars too!!!!!

          Twin Cat
          One Motor loading more in the turns then the other?
          If you use a radio with telemetry you can program the ESC'S to the steering, adjustable in %. This would also help the boat turn.

          Battery load would be equal if you wire them so that both ESC's see the 4S-2P

              Not really
              There is lots of room in a Mean Machine.

                Yup, but still a lot of plumbing in there.

                It will be good to harass you in person this summer!
