zz battery upgrade WORTH EVERY PENNY!

sorry if this sounds so enthusiastic, but i didn't realize how much of an improvement doing a simple upgrade (from 100->120Nmih) was...

just popped a 120 into each car, and now i get nearly 15 minutes (i know, some of you get more) of runtime... had to bend the + tab in a bit, 'cause the batteries are shorter (and one benefit - weigh less)...

not bad for $2 per car (and yes, i know you can get the batteries cheaper, and yes, i know there are other batteries you can put in, and yes, i know you can double 'em up, etc.)...

but you have to do the mod before you can experience the benefits... the upgrade was painless, easy, non-destructive, and really makes the zz a cool little toy...

i'm just wondering how this simple change more than quadruples the run time? amazing!

just my US$0.02
