I see that you have onboard battery. What type and how big are they (AH)? planning to use the same, but I have problems to figure out what type of battery to use.

As of now I have the to electronic boxes filled with small bags of sand as a temporary cheap solution but I cant decide weather I should fill the boxes with mineral oil, a type of buck lead or leave them empty and fight the air with heavy skids this last option I'm not to keen on doing.
what do you think is the best option ?
