amagine the stage 2 with that mod

I did just this. I went full mod and the yellow stage 2 gear set. Stiff shocks in the back, medium in the front. I haven't changed the tyres yet. They will be soft treads in back and hard treads in front. In the mean time this rocks. BAE

one can find room to put one or two cells on the rear bumper if one made a plug to disconect the body from the chassis

I like thi xmod car thier pretty cool. Im myself a miniz Mr02 owner.

. Im pretty sure you could burn out the electronics on a mini-z if you put 7.2 volts through it. wont the 7.2 v Mod on the X-mod fry the electronics ? Dude because if its not im running to one of those xmod AWD Cars !!

You could probably beat some micro rs4 with that thing !

good news, but bad news

i ran over to my local RS and got a 2 aaa bater holder, so i got home, hooked it up, faster than it ever was before
but (theres a but)
it cant go in reverse
so im pretty sure the extra volts disable the ecs on it

too bad it seems like a good mod for it

Chris · #22 10-30-2003, 05:29 PM

Are you sure? I have the same set up (two extra cells) and the car still has reverse and everything. No fried electronics, either. and about beating a micro RS4, there's no way

. I have a micro RS4 with a pan chassis and a 380 motor , 7.2 V battery pack, and the thing is ridiculously fast. but it might be able to beat a stock micro RS4 if thats what you were talking about......

where did you mount it? i want to do this but cant find room under the stock skyline

Chris · #24 10-30-2003, 07:19 PM

It doesn't fit under the body. I think someone else said you can get a AAA holder that holds 3 AAAs and it fits under the body with a little trimming of the body (with a dremel tool I guess) but otherwise they don't really fit under the body

im not understanding the picture. were does the red wire run to? do you just hook up the black wire to the battery? then to the spring in the tray?
also i have the skyline with the stage 2 motor with the blue gear, just wondering if this mod is gonna blow my sh*t up?

just wondering if this would work? and were would i hook up the 2 wires?

Chris · #27 10-30-2003, 09:19 PM

That should work, and even if it doen't, it's only $1.49

. I don't really see and reason for the extra cells to blow anything up (although the extra voltage is possibly dangerous to the esc, I haven't had any problems at all) and the red wire is attatched to the contact where the negative side of the battery would normally touch (its a little spring). The electrical tape shown is to block the current between the negative side of the battery and the red wire.

now were does the red wire coming from the battery holder hook up to?

Chris · #29 10-31-2003, 03:30 PM

it hooks up to the negative side of the extra cell

Geckoboy · #30 10-31-2003, 06:52 PM

hey i got a question about the batteries
is a 3.8v battery with 600mah that is recharable good?
would two of them would work in an xmod without fring anything?
