The USS Drummond Battleship is a project I've been working on for months. It is based on the USS Missouri and I used my 3D printer to build her. It took over 300 hours of printing time alone.-- Bart

What a mess! Yes, I was able to get everything in there! The battery goes in that top left hole. During testing, I actually blew out three of the four motors as the ESC will really put out some voltage! The roar of all four motors at full throttle was awesome!
