so many questions

1: I have the XMODS rechargeable bats everytime its finish recharging, I wait like 3 hr, then plug it back it, by the looks of it does not look fully charged, does it lose power over time?, I tried usein it on my XMODS, works fine but how would I know it has all the power?

2:I've been hearing that metal bearings is a good upgrade from some people, with the other people i've been hearing that they sux, so lay it down for me people is this upgrade really worth it?

3:nimh cells what are they?

4: AWD, I know it destributes the energy to both front and rear, but how can I modify it, that it would have more power and torque?

5:whats da best way to mask your car? also whats a good quality spray paint that I can buy to paint it with? also whats a good primar?

6: thats about it I couldn't think of anymore.......i'm gettin sleepy well thanks I appreciate your help

1. Get a volt meter and test the batteries after they are charge to see if they are fuul.

2. If you have 20 bucks to blow they are great. If you do not have the extra cash wait for Tiny's bearings.

3. Nickle Metal Hydide. They are batteries that have less voltage than alkaline but deliver a steadier stream of power.

4. I do not understand the question. AWD increases handling at a loss of speed. Leave the white rear Differential in and you will loose less speed.

5. No clue, I can not paint worth a darn.

6. Your Welcome

Ooo the AWD thing? well I heard that AWD will slow your car because it evenly destributes the energy to the front and rear, I heard there was a solution for it, also I heard the turning radius is bad too....

also u said "lose less power" do u mean i'll go faster??

The all wheel drive is slower because instead of all the power going to only two wheels its sent through a driveshaft, more gears, and then put into four wheels.

However if you have a high power engine that spins the 2WD system when you launch you should get better launches with the AWD.

You should be able to decrease the AWD losses some if you got a lightweight driveshaft and made sure all the gears were well lubricated.
