Cool The Layman's Tri-Cell Mod (tm)

Ok, only a few people appear to be interested in my dual-cell no-solder mod? How about three cells? Anyone else doing a no-solder, no-dremel, all-in-stock-body tri cell sleeper? Didn't think so.

This is even easier than the last one, believe it or not. It's almost a perfect fit, except like the last one the PCB is a little tighter when snapping it back on. I got mine back on though.. and this beauty can FLY. It practically goes up on two wheels when you're turning, even in the lower speed. Boost it and bye-bye...

Luckily with the potentiometer mod in place, I just dial the voltage down a little until I can keep all four wheels on the ground, heh. STILL no wheelies though, since it doesn't have all that extra weight to make it unbalanced. You can actually race with this thing, unlike the ones using three 1/3aaa batteries, since the extra weight doesn't make the car flip as easily, and the little weight that's there is centered where the original stock battery was. This will outrun any other three cell 3.6v mod.

Pics to follow.
