Dual Cell idea
 

Why don't we dual cell the Li-poly cells? I thought of that a while ago!

That's as much voltage as 6 NiMH cells! :eek:

Well, nothing is impossible! I think you need a special charger for Li-poly cells.

What are Li-Poly cells anyway? :confused:

Lithium Polymer. I posted a link to an Extreme Tech article somewhere that talks about them.

Think about the speed!

I think it would be too much voltage. I did a Layman 6cell mod and it was way too much voltage. It actually ran slower than a 4cell. Too much food for such a small tummy.

Yeah, I've read in some other threads that motors run faster with more cells, and then slower with too many cells.

BTW, where did you fit in six cells? That's so cool!

A Laymen 6 cell is equal to to regular dual cells in size wise!!....

Got any pics of these Li-Poly cells? I wanna see them, and how big they are and all.

Nope.
 

I have nothing. I guess I could say, I'm all talk! :D

Crap! Lol, I wanna see what these look like...

I did it like an internal dual cell mod with 2x triple stacks of 3. It was too stupid. I could have fried everything. I hooked my 3.5 motor up directly to a 9v battery and held it there for like 10 or 20 seconds. Then I had to drop it 'cause it was so dad'gum hot! I think 3cell is way plenty. 4 for a drag car, maybe. I find a single is plenty for tech tracks.

I'm gonna try a "Layman's Tri' Plus One." The "big cap" (you guys know what I mean) gets in the way, because it's leads are so long. If I cut it off and solder it closer to the PCB, it will fit in the chasis hanging straight down. Then the fourth button goes in sideways next to the other three.

Search for flash and see pics of a flash battery!

BTW Please stay on topic! I don't want another rotary!

I can't read it but it will give you an idea about what they look like and how they install..

www.batteriesamerica.com has them somewhere. only the really small one would fit and im not sure that it would fit well under a body. 7.4v would severly overheat your pcb and motor. something would give eventually.

remember one 3.7v 150mah lipo battery weights 4grams.
a 1.2v 50mah tomy battery weighs 3 grams. a dual cell weighs six grams and a tricell(3.6v) weighs over twice as much as one of these. i seriously doubt you will be able to control them with that much power and lack of traction.

Hey those GERMAN guys are running them with some set up!...

they are running 7.4v? maybe for drag racing with the steering glued in.

I am not sure on the volts.. I can not read German. lol But I found stuff on there site and pictures of them with those batts in them.

with two of em? or just one? as far as ive seen they are all 3.7v. thats gona be way too much power already. two of those is askin for a meltdown.

Hard to tell from this photo and I can not read German!!

I am crazy
BTW anyone play Treadmarks?

I love my strange ideas!
