Next repair is that gaping hole in the front deck. Used to stash the battery, its a bit of an eyesore. Plus because of the massive torque of this motor, it is rolling (and therefore drag-steering) to one side.

Counter-rotating motors is one option. What could be better than one hugely overpowered motor, except TWO hugely overpowered motors?

Counter-weight is the other option and the one I will tackle in this project for now.

I am planning a foam swampboat build that will be a bunch bigger than this one; I will try the counter-rotational coaxial build on it...

A friend suggested a removable counterweight in which I could store the battery too. Maybe a 3D printed crate would work. Maybe something like

with some built in attachment thingy...
