They must have put them in there for a reason in the first place. Maybe over specced though so as a backup??

You have to use solder. I take a heavy piece of wire, wrap it around the iron tip and make a much smaller effective iron and tip.
I am looking for surface mount LEDs also, if anybody has any sources.

Holy Cow! Good idea. I have so many old HDs it is not funny.
I know my resistor color codes BBROYGBVGWGS,
but can someone help me identify SMD resistor values?
Thanks

you can go here to get surface mount leds http://www.toyeast.com/
i bought some i'm just waiting for them to get here  and do you know some one that can help me with my bad 3.8 motor it died this weekend it will still go but the car needs a push to get moving i don't know whats wrong with it reply if you know anyone that can help

Thanks for the tip on SMD LEDS. I think that they are a better idea.
For DarthRacer, No 3.8 motor can be high speed and torky at the same time without being designed for running times about 30 seconds or less. NiMH would be absolutely mandatory. You may fix your problem by seating the motor, Chap Sticking the gears, and polish and graphite lube the rear axel. I hope that this helps. Also a DansAm body is smarter for the 3.8 due to their lightness. BAE

You carefully align the motor by inserting tiny shims. Toilet paper is good for very small changes. Paper for thicker.
Tiny sells DansAm bodies. BAE

FETs! What was the part number of the FETs you used? I was thinking of doing the same thing, but FETs require a higher "turn-on" voltage than bipolar transistors. And since the supply is only a single cell, I canned that idea. The Zips can sure use a better H-bridge circuit!

Anyone know if this can also be done for Bits?

fury, if you have a bit, do my 3 cell mod. you'll smoke the zip like that. fet upgrade comming soon. i will now hack into the pcb board and give you the results

Since you are soldering anyway.
How about a Bit circuit board. Give it both the FET and 3 cell mod. Put it in a Zip shell so the 3 batteries are all inside. BAE

Can you just use a RadioShack 100ohms resistor?
