    Good Day Damon

    Sorry I can't answer that, I've never used lipo's so I can't give you a comparison. I've never had any problems with the sealed lead acid batteries, and use them on all my boats, they also double as ballast, as I would rather use batteries that dead weight.

    I've attached the Building instructions for the Norkap, it gives a parts drawing in the last pages. You should be able to enlarge them to the scale you require

    HMAS Fremantle (my first build and is still a work in progress) is a semI kit, hull and some fittings were supplied, most parts have been scratched built. She is powered by two MFA RE-385 5-Pole DC Motors, each controlled by a Mtroniks MicroViper Marine 10 ESC, supplied by one 6V 3.4 Ah lead acid battery, she has a running time of approx 90 minutes on the lake.

    HMAS Arunta was an Australian Tribal Class Destroyer during WWII. I'm building her in 1/72 scale and is my second build (again, a work in progress), and was started so that I had something to sail, while I was finishing the HMAS Fremantle. (Motor: Graupner Speed 720BB Torque (6372) x 2) (ESC: Mtroniks Viper Marine 15 Plug n Play x 2) (9/10)
