scratch the motors and batteries. I am still going to use the C6C with its own batteries, but I am going to go with a 12v system. This came as I now have a 12v battery I can use. It is a old car battery, but it is the sealed maintenance free one. I do not know if it will last long enough, being as it is old, so eventually it will be replaced, but for a start it should work. I also don't know if it will be too big to fit into a little tank, so this could change.
So now I have to find a good 12v motor. Any suggestions? Also, is there an online calculator that will show the difference in power if a 24v motor is ran at 12v???
