Thumbs up a few tips, then it's off to kill the Mini-Zs!

After completing the 6-cell mod, I had complaints that the car was flipping every time I turned at anything over 3/4 throttle. It turns out that it was the surface. The car flipped like crazy on blacktop, but once I got down in the old parking garage at work last night, on the semi-smooth concrete, it didn't even flip once.

Also, I was thinking that the 6-cells had reduced my range somehow, but upon taking into the garage once again (4 stories under ground) I was back to having range for as far as I could see the car. I guess there was interference by my house. There are NO radio sognals in the garage, I can't tune any stations on the AM or FM.

Now, the only thing left to do is stickier tires. It spins a little to much for me, thanks to the torque from my 8.7V worth of batteries. I think I'm going to go to the Stage 2 Blue so I can get more top speed and cut back on the acceleration a bit.

Also going to get a pinion puller and either rewind the stage 2 red and put the yellow's pinion on it or try a 180 motor like Neurokinetic was talking about. Time for the Mini-Zs to die!
