man, you really dont need 2x5600 Mah batteries..that is way over kill.
you could chop a bit of weight out also by going with a 32OZ tank..a 40oz is a little large. You could do away with the power box but i dont really think that is accounting for too much of the weight.. |

OK... thank you.. so it is ok without the power box?... cause it has the 2 switches as well... so i guess just a reg would do?....and lets say 02ea 2600mah li-on?...
