can i just use a 9 volt n get rid of my stock 4 1.2v aaa or will i fry everything n do i have to do anything else or just solder the wiring 4 the 9v
...and on that note I can lock the waste of space thread that started back in november of last year. :lol:
wow I found a light and tiny 8.4v battery in my helicopter.
*tears helicopter to shreds*
8.4 V is the MOST the system ESC can handle. If you power the car with that much voltage, or anything over 8V you are playing roulette with its life. Let it be known that you will most likely blow FETs and the ESC if you attempt these 9V power mods.
It's still a bloody waste of time. Just save yourself the heartache, and set up an additional AAA cell for boosted voltage. If you want to get even more performance at the power supply level, upgrade to LiIo.
All these things aside, the stock motor is still going to be slow at a higher voltage. It will just be a "faster" slow. Id boost the speed and power potential of the motor, and then at least there will be a nominal increase in how the xmod performs.
read tuts! Ive spent hours here, just reading and aquiring knowledge. I suggest you do the same. It will make life a lot easier for you if you are interested in modding.

so the problem with 9vs is that they don't have the current. well what if you connected two in parallel and therefore double the amperage withought increasing the voltage? maybe you could use rechargable 9vs that are actualy 8.4v and avoid frying the fetts??
I recomend you to do a 6 cell mod (cheap anzwer) or buy lithium batts (not too cheap).
and to go fast you will need a good motor (not RS stage 2), like the pn racing 05 BB just $20 far from you. :lol: :wink:
there are all sorts of battery upgrades. id take a look in the tut forum and in the FAQ section of atomicmods.com for more info.
im not trying to be a jerk
but there are about 10,000 different topics and tutorials on this website that will answer that exact question
itll be much quicker to do a little researching on your own
trust me :)
well what can i do to make it faster with out messing up anything
No you cant.
Well, you can, but it's a total waste of time.
9V can easily fry the board.
9v batteries do not have the power. Waste of time. You would be going backward in performance if your actually looking for something that goes faster.
9V batteries are designed for long term, low current draws. They are not made to power a DC motor for an RC car.
