No pics yet derek….. I was really keen to get the battery in the car and run it. I even butchered the car a bit and I reckon I could do it better the second time around.

I will probably rebuild it on the weekend and hopefully snap off the details then ! I forgot to mention that the range improved as well with this mod !

Generally however, the GTR seems to be a slower car. I have a yellow Lancer also and did an experiment. Ran the 3.0 in the GTR(prior to 2.4V mod)and 2.2 in the Lancer, which was a close match. Swapped the motors and gears between cars and the Lancer (now with 3.0) made a significant gap !

The GTR has a silver controller while the Lancer’s is orange. I suspect the drive electronics were improved in the later model Lancer ? Have others had this experience ? I intend to mod the Lancer for 2.4V in any case and I expect an even quicker result ! I will also design a stand alone charger to properly charge the 2.4V cell for better runtime and maximum performance !
