  Hi everyone. I am new to the forums and was quite fascinated by the dual cell bit built by Prabbit. I am in the process of building my own two cell terror. I was wondering if I could get some specs on his dual cell
  bit? Also what is the switch type thing mounted on top of the PCB cover?
  I have a WRX microsizer that I got for Christmas. This is going to be my guinea pig since I really don’t want to ruin my prized bit (acura NSX)
  Is wiring the cells in series the way to go? I have heard of other methods.
  Lastly, how long do you have to charge it for? Do I have to build a custom charger or will my controller have the cajones to do it?

  Guess it depends what cells you can get, more than anything else.
  
  Doesn’t seem to be anyway of getting original Tomy nicad cells apart from scraping one off a BCG or KIT.

  I used 1/3 AAA NiMH cells (120maH) in mine (AU$6 ea from battery world). The stock ones are only 50maH, are physically bigger and weigh more so not much point using them. Here’s a hint: if you can’t get the solder to stick to the battery contacts scuff it up a bit with some sandpaper etc beforehand.

  Yeh Ive done a dual internal NiMh cell bit and with a 3.8 in it, it flies. Heaps of fun, it drifts real well too, on the right surface.
  Go for it, you will enjoy 🙂
