I'm slowly planning out what I want to do with my car. I'm taking my time since I'm new to hobby RC and am trying to avoid making mistakes. I just ordered some extra drive shafts from tiny along with some overland tires, so I'm hoping to have a set of xmod capable shafts after grinding as well as my original set of mini-x shafts. I'm hoping to raise it with the overland tires. I run on an extremely rough asphalt, so I'd also like to go for a smooth suspension to keep the tires on the surface as much as possible.

I'd been using the stock medium springs and you can see it bouncing all over the place. I'm going to try the soft springs next, which I've installed, and man are they soft. This thing is going to bottom out and get a bit scratched up, but hopefully it will run better. How is the motion/travel on your xmod converted suspension - would you say a large improvement on the stock springs, in the context of rough asphalt?

Anyway, whats the deal with "zapped" cells? Most cells include the mAh rating, so I'm assuming its either current or voltage that is more than standard?

Finally, how did you squeeze your 5 2/3A cells on, takumi?

Thanks for being so patient and answering my never ending stream of questions.

P.S. I just got a pentax optio s4 (xmas) and I love it. Unfortunately it only shoots in 320x240 (a lot of newer cams will shoot 640x480), but it should be fine. I am editing the video and will post soon.
