today i picked up a sv27 and would like some advise from anyone with experience about this craft. i want to run lipo but don't want to ruin any of my expensive reedy 35c packs due to the no LVC on the sv27 so i picked up some duratrax dtx 4600 nimh batteries , will these be ok or are they a bit heavy for the boat ,i needed them anyway for mini copper racing this winter so no big deal if they wont work for the boat .any suggestion for batteries in the sv27 or maybe just add a lipo safe cut off and run lipo .also what prop is best and how to seal it up good so as not to get it wet on the inside thanks

THE REEDY PACKS WILL WORK AWSOME, JUST DONT RUN FOR MORE THAN 3MIN AT A TIME- 2 RUNS, THEN CHECK VOLTAGE AND CHARGE

ALWAYS TAPE THE HATCH. USE CLEAR HOCKEY TAPE

Get a LVC that has a cutoff at least 3.2v and run the lipos. The boat will be faster and handle much better.
