7 cells youll get horrible acceleration, but the speed is incredible

If your good at soldering, do a FET upgrade, or the regulator mod.
Six cells is a must...or at least 5 cells (what I've got).

Excessive battery packing is fun, sure, but you'll want to get at least the suspension upgrade and some better tires if you're going that route; no sense is spending all that time making it faster only to see it flip over and explode.

I'm pretty new too, and I have no problems doing difficult hobby/electronics work either.
I'm trying not to do everything all at once, to stretch out my fun
I'd go with the RS mods you like - I say the lights are a MUST!, maybe AWD, S1 or S2 motors, Suspension, whatever tickles your pickle.
Then try taking apart motors to do the spinbrush hybrid. - this is where I am now. Next I want to look into timing advancing and motor winding, then 180 motors. Multi cell mods seem to really mess up the weight distribution and hurt handling. A few people on here are getting good results with only 4 cells and no FET upgrades. I'm saving the FET's for last (most percieved risk of screwing up the car).
Along the way I want to try some lights mods - fogs, underbody, and maybe a full flashing police light bar that will hopefully work off the command lights.
Anyway, start small so you have something to work towards is what I say. Then become the master. Cause it's all about the fun of modding, right?

don't
Don't mix 6-cells with the lights though!!! Get IC3 batteries if you don't already have them. I'd be leary of what ppchee says too because 6-cells give you OUTSTANDING acceleration! If you could use 7-cells without blowing the Fetts, then it should only get better not worse as he stated.

The LED's are designed to run off the car's stock 6 volts, not 9 volts.

So the LED's will wear out faster?
I ran a light kit with 6 I-C3's for about 15 mins w/o any signs of problems.

It's just that I've heard of the light kit burning out with 6 cells, never with 5.
