Bit-Dub Conversion questions

[mcojoc]

Hey! I posted this over in the mods section, but not much biting so I hope you don't mind if I ask these questions of the general forum. Thanks for your patience!


Hello. A few questions I could not find answers for doing a search. I am doing a Dub city full body/tire conversion on a bit char-g booster car. I have already done the tire/rims both front and rear and have cut the chassis and lengthened it to make it fit the longer wheelbase (using a floppy disk for raw material)... Since there is extra room and the car will be substantially heavier due to the new body, I'm thinking about adding an extra cell to the car. My questions are as follows:

1) Has anyone ever encountered problems with a 2 cell conversion on a 2 speed booster car?

2) Will the booster function still work? In theory, I don't know if the booster limits voltage proportional to voltage input so I'm not sure if increasing input will increase output if the booster button is pressed. I'm no electronics genius, so the extent of this mod is simply lengthening and re-soldering wires that already exist.

3) Has anyone ever done a full Die-cast Dub conversion before. I can find reams of info on the tire conversion, but not on a full car conversion. If so, do you have any adivce or suggestions? Another concern is the front tires rubbing during steering using the dub city body.

4) Can the duel cell be charged on the standard charger (I have to rig a new charging connector due to the conversion) or should I make my own. I was just going to use a standard 3 cell battery box and hook it up to the car when charging... 4.5 volts into 2.4 should at least move the current into the rechargable batteries is my theory... Again, I'm no electronics expert so any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance... Sorry to be a pain.
