      hi, ive seen the dual cell mods from prabbit and they are quite amazing. but what i would like to know is, if you perfrom a 3 cell mod or 4 cell, will the speed be as significant as the jump from 1.2volts to 2.4volts? what i really mean is……. is it worth it to do a 3 cell or 4 cell mod with all those heavy batteries on the back of the car.. or will it be faster with just a dual cell mod. thanks!!:)

      If you are good with a fine tipped soldering iron, the transisters can be changed.

      Ive done a temporary 3 cell mod but it didnt worry the Power Transistors.

      I have a set of 40MHz internals (e.g. Transmitter board and receiver board) you interested?

      My tri cell truck has’nt fried the board yet. But I’m not holding my breath. I think that anytime you add more power to something that was designed for a certain amount of power, you shorten the life of it. Dual cell cars probably just take a little longer. I have’nt fried any of my dual cell cars yet, but I imagine that it is only a matter of time.

      🙁
