    Thanks for your reply, will look into the suggested sites, I use 11.1 lipo batteries on my Tamar Lifeboat with 850 brushed motors, I was a little worried about the weight with the Brede Lifeboat

    I would be very interested to hear from you and your Dad with more infomation and stories with regards to the ships. I have also put pictures of my Dad on the HMS Gambia association website, it might be worth a look.
