6-celled my car!

like the title said...i 6-celled my civic chassis. all i can say is holy crap. i didn't even charge the batteries after i took em out of the package and it flew. i cant wait to see what its like with fully charged batts! now i just need a beater body so i dont mess the chassis up! any donations are accepted

the setup of my car is-
civic chassis
stage 2 drift motor
AWD with stock rear end and stock rear diff (that solves the AWD turning radius issues)
double suspension up front( 2 springs on each side, car makes real tight turns now)
cxp front racing deck
and home made antenna

yea i was amazed when i switched over to 6 cells. you could probably step the gears up a bit too and not loose as much acceleration as compared to the 4 cell setup.

btw what kind of top front deck is that? looks cool whatever it is. nice z in the background too.

if you think a 6 cell setup is fast wait till you get some Li-Ions. Much faster.

p.s. Im getting my first shipment of Li-Ions right now! They should be here within a few days.

Does the extra weight of the batterys mess up the handling? I would think you would need stiffer springs to compesate. I am thinking about using the lith ions instead. Any suggestions?
