Actually, not tru. Being the mad scientist (and alot of pressure from the local RS) we were curious how much voltage the new ones could handle. So i had a single AAA holder, a double AAA holder and a few of the quad AAA holders. Started out with the stock 4 (Yes we kept the batterys fully charged) added 1, tested, 2, etc etc etc. We were able to get up to 16 AAA batterys (19.2v) and the only thing that fried was the motors (Went through 3 of em). We sheared the dogbones, && stripped the rear end. I was surprized that the servo didn't fry with how spaztistic the front tires were. U might b saying to yourself, "so you got a good board", this is what i thought, so i tried it on the H2, and the Firebird, the firebird didn't want to turn on past 12 cells, but the h2 turned on, and blew the rear end first time i got on it. I might have been lucky, i don't reccommend on jumping from 4 cell to a 12 cell, step up gradually. We also tried the dual 9v bat. We came the the conclusion that a 6 cell (rechargable) could beat a 9v (Alk). We didn't try rechargables, just regular Alkaline 9v's.
