I just added a 9V battery, IT IS AMAZING! It flung the tires off!

I just added in a 9V battery to my Supra Xmod! The change is so great that when I pull the throttle and the car is off the ground, it flings the rear tires off, no joke! I mounted the battery in place of a rear bumper. The car makes a weird noise, like it is aligning itself, but it isn't. The noise continues unless you tap the "gas" then it stops and will start back a little bit later. I know I'm straining the car, but hey IT FLIES! I have soft springs, soft treaed tires, stage 2 road race motor, 1.5 tie bar (I think), light kit, and mild body kit and so far it's all working pretty seemlessly, except that noise and no rear bumper (the big duracell logo is there instead, hehe). This is an amazing change, I know others have done it, but seeing the tire get thrown off was too much! I had to share this with yall!

Ok, give me a bit and they'll be here! I may get a video up too, we'll see. First of all, I'll tell you I used one of those loose 9V harness things, I got it out of an automatic card shuffler. I just spliced it into the existing battery system and ounted it in place of the rear bumper with some electrical tape. It doesn't look as shabby as it sounds and the weight is at least at the rear wheels. Let me say again, the thing hauls!

is it better then having 1 AA or 2 AAA. I mean like way better. Cant wait for the vids

One of my friends just added a single AAA and I'll race him tomorrow to see, but I can tell you that it is at least 3 times faster than it was before I added the 9V! This thing is amazing! It gets hot pretty fast, but the runs are so quick there's no reason to overheat it anyway, :-)

ummm... there are others who swear by the fact that 9V will fry your ESC... i get this from another forum... because of this i was toying with the idea of using a rechargable 9V battery, but i refuse to attempt it before radioshack starts selling replacement ESCs... which according to CJ's FAQ looks to be very near.

my question is, what do you notice heating up? your battery, motor, or electronics? also... is there a temp change b4 you hit the throttle? meaning, just for having the batt in?
