RNLI RC Severn Class Lifeboat Power Train Modification

I acquired a lovely 1:20 scale RC lifeboat but it's woefully underpowered so I set about modifying the power trian to give it more speed.

A very elegant solution 👍 Looking forward to seeing it on the water 👍

Thank you. I've bought a 4S 1000mAh lipo which fits in the boat and as a bonus it weighs about the same as the AA pack. So off to the boating lake on Sunday when my club is having a RC boat day and there'll be everything from the Titanic to submarines, so they may need a lifeboat! I'll tweak the voltage while I'm there hopefully to get a nice bow wave going and I'll post the video when it's done.

@noskanow I was going to suggest making your own from Vape batteries, although there are less laying around nowadays.
