hey all- this is my 2nd xmod- i fried teh first one too- this is so agrivating- im runing the shacks" xmod rechargeables and i wired a 5th cell- i drove it for like 5 or 6 minutes then the radio cut out- and it was a nice day too-
i tore it apart- coulent figure it out- so i took the car back (only had it 2 days)- got the other one yesterday-
set up the 5th cell tonight- man shes quick i thought- then again- the radio cut out - picked up the car and then it started to smoke!!!!- i tore the whole thing down- theres a burnt resistor on the reciver- are you guys having these problems? i cant figure it out- let me know- im thinking of trying come kind of resistor setup so it dosent happen again- plz help if you can-
tony
i did cut the black wire and i also put in spade connectors to downgrade- i dont understand why its frying though- im going to try to put in that voltage reg and see whatr happens on my 3rd xmod- damn
err...woops, didn't know i wasn't logged in for that reply
unfortunately, i'm on teh other side in Mass. i made sure mine can be easily downgraded back to 4 cell. i soldered in a pair of attached pins on the middle wire (similar to the pins on a computer motherboard) so i could choose to plug in the 2 cell holder or a hard drive jumper
Tony,
All you have to do is cut the middle wire that seperates the two packs and run the 5th cell holder in series. make sure all batteries are the same, not like these crazy people running 9v batts as their 5th cell.. :D
Hey TYPEZERO..
Welcome to our own league of our own, of 6 cell speed integration.. Im glad Im not the only one with 6 cells as Im sure there are more to follow from mimicry.. Lots of people degrade the idea, but dont know what theyre missing. Wish we could have a friendly drag race sometime. I live in Cali, where do you live? :D
i did a 6 cell last nite and i ran it in my living room for 10+ minutes wiht no problem other than crazy speed and lots of flipping on the uneven carpet. the only other problem is my steering chatters but a very light nudge on the front wheels stops the chatter. annoying but it doesn't seem to be hurting it. can't wait to take it out to the nearby school yard
ok- think i got it- im gonna try to run a 5vdc regulator to the input on the reciver- everything else handles the power fine- its just that damn reciver- ill post as soon as i get time to do it- grrrr- get to tear the car apart AGAIN! jezus- it was fun like the first time- argh- plz post if you have any other ideas-
