I am fiddling with my model Kilo, getting ready for a pool run, and in the bottom of the hull, Mr. Merriman had written the weights down. I thought this might be useful to members.

Forward 5.43 oz
Center 1.1 oz
Aft 0.5 oz

I need to connect my Viper 10 ESC to the speed 250 motors in the Kilo 2" SD.
I looked over David M's cabal reports here but the particular technique was not discussed. Then I remember reading it in in his personal site;

Unfortunately those very important pictures are missing.

Just want to check which leads I need to solder from the ESC to the motor to make it rotate counterclockwise. ( I'm planning to also use mini bullet connectors to connect them together)

This is not a big, hairy deal! ...

... Hook up the damned ESC wires to the motor and if if spins backward from what you want then un-solder the wires to the motors and swap 'em. And, doesn't your transmitter have servo/ESC reversing switch for each channel? And, if not, what kind of cave-man, piece of **** transmitter you got there anyway!????.....

Space is so tight in there -- just hard-wire between the ESC and motor, will yah!? So what if you have to put the iron in there again to swap wires or devices.

Forgive my ignorance as a neophyte oh great wizard but I didn't know that was possible.
