    have you looked into using capacitors? A 1 farad cap can sustain up to 1000 watts. also you wont have to worry about battery acid inside of your truck.
    good luck with the project keep us postedwaytogo

    i have... what ya wanna know?

    ill say this, it takes time to build the mold. some people do it with no mold, and in the end it is twice as thick as needed, and isnt as strong as it could be...

    helicopter parts have to be strong and light. a mold is made from some of the most odd things from time to time...
