    I hope it doesn't leak.

    BTW - what type of WTC (ballast system) is in the photos.

    More Negative Vibes! :(

    Any smaller and the standard sized battery-connector and wires would not fit in.
    (picture shows that it is a tight fit, connector is visible inside) That size connector is needed for low-resistance contacts. There may be high current since there are 6 servos (4 are high-torque), 3 motors & their control circuits and the video-camera/transmitter.
    I haven't even started putting in the Stereo-System! :D

    As stated previously:
    I have Leak tested it.
    The forward WTC is one I designed and fabricated.
    The SD is David's 3.5" (2 chamber) unit.

      Hey Rick - I don't mean to be negative at all.;)
      Just commenting its pretty big esp relative to the WT sections either side.
      I know you have said you tested for leaks. And I wish you well in it staying that way. I say that sincerely not sarcastically.
      Leaks can occur in previously used leak free containers mate from time to time.

        No problem, the bottle WTC is definitely an experiment. We never know for sure, but so far it's lookin' Good. I'll drink to THAT!
        It fits perfectly up into raised area of hull cover. :)
        And it even helps with more flotation to counteract the heavy battery.:D LOL :D
