battery screw?
 
where is the screw to change the location of the batteries? i see a few that i think might be it.. but, i don't wanna take my chances and start unscrewing things..

it is the 2 screws right by the moter

K4Lic0 11-26-2003 09:05 PM

ok, i found them... thanx

The white piece the looks kinda like the letter "U" on the back of the car that goes around the motor has 6 screws to hold it on...if you are looking at it so that the rear wheels are pointing at you and the antenna is on the right...there are 2 screws that are on either side of the motor...if you take out those 2 screws, you can move the battery packs....oh and BTW try and look through the owners manual first

i did look in the owners manual.. the arrows don't exactly point to any specific location.. and also, those screws looked like they were used to extend the chassis

Is there really a difference from where you set the battery packs?

I actually can see/feel the difference, surprisingly.

Where do you set the batteries? Closer to the rear wheels?

K4Lic0 11-27-2003 11:10 AM

I placed mine in the back, easier to spin-out, and also the it takes longer to brake with the battery pack forward. I leave them forward when I play around, but move them back when I am racing.

sorry...
 
I meant that if you place them in the front.... not back...:D

Do you guys know if I place the battery packs closer to the front, will I get a better turning radius?

MattH 11-28-2003 08:46 AM

At slow speeds you probably won't notice too much of an increase in turning ability (i.e. decreased turning radius), but at higher speeds the car should turn better with the batteries towards the front.
