[chino]

this is my lil sleeper



from tha outside it looks like normal single cell. even after the body is removed

heres sum pics of it with dubble rims

Looks good dude. I like the hood. I would get a thin guitar string for the antenna. That would make it more invisible. Plus the range would be better.

[betty.k]

nice one! but it’s just too neat! can’t you hang some wire out of the cover or scratch it?:D:8ball:

[chino]

haha thnx, ill take that as a compliment. i wus gonna do guitar string like my xmod but then i wouldnt be able to put in in my pocket

Pretty Spank ride Chino,i know those double wheels must give that thing some sick torque. But really you must tell me how you managed to cram those cells so neatly in a bit chassis.Because i too am working on a low profile ride that definately needs dual celling.

[chino]

i forgot where i got the smaller cells from but jus a lil trimming of the part the front deck screws down(only screw in the whole car) and it drops rite in. ad i have solder tabs solderd directly to the bottom charge conections

[rashumble7]

Thanks a bunch chino. My lxx chassis has a stock 200AAA cell whithin i am hoping to dual it with a 50AAA cell. hopefully in the same setup you have, so it can fit in my lxx chassis thus accommodating my custom lo pro body. Excuse the foolish ? but when you say you used soldering tabs, is that conductive? and if so would it detach if the cell becomes hot?

[jamiekulhanek]

If the solder tabs detached, well, that would happen right after the cell self destructed and the whole bit turned into a puddle of molten goop….doubt it would be able to melt solder…

[rashumble7]

Thanks for clarifying that for me jamie, i think i will go with the tabs. once again chino, that is a sweet ride :smiley2:

[jamiekulhanek]

Rashumble, doing a dual cell mod with 1/3AAA’s is quite a big job.

Unless you have a dremel, dont even think about it….

If you need a hand, add me jamiekulhanek(at)hotmail.com to msn if you have it…

[rashumble7]

jamiekulhanek, Thanks for offering your help, i assume you meant add you to my IM. Do you have yahoo, cause thats what i use. But if not i will see if i still have hotmail IM. And i definately own a dremel, thats a must cant mod without that… Thanks again:D

[betty.k]

i’ve never owned a dremmel. closest thing i have is a cordless drill that smokes when used!:8ball:

[jamiekulhanek]

trent, goto bunnings and pick up an OZITO rotary tool, for $59 you get the tool, telescopic desk stand, flexible shaft, 40 piece accessory kit and a carrycase, plus if you bugger it theres a 2 year warranty!:8ball:

lol betty, nice work on the z’d chino.

[rashumble7]

😀 BETTY, thats some hazardous equipment your dealing with there.Lets just hope thats on your xmas list.

[chino]

thnx alot ppl. a returned Zipzap i had got for free had suspention springs in the front instead of the see saw sway bar thing. i jus istalled the springs in my black 350z handled so much better. ive been wanted these sprigs for long time. does anyone know wut im talkin about? and if so, where can i get more? im thinking mybe the previous owner left them in there. i havnt checked at the new ZZ’s yet ut i woder if they all come with springs now.

[chino]

ok sry bout that guys. i jus got bak from radio shack and saw tha all the newer Zip Zaps come with front springs.

[rashumble7]

I wasnt aware of that:approve:. Chino i need your help quick fast man, i’m am now attempting that dual cell mod, same set up. The cells,pos+ to neg
– are joined/soldered together and i know i have to solder the pos+ wire from the pcb to the pos+ terminal on the unjoined section of the cell that has another wire attached running to the pos+ tab in the chassis. My ? is where does the neg- /black wire from the pcb go, do i just leave it soldered to the neg- tab in the chassis or what. im stumped please help.

this pic was my instructions, if it shows up notice no wire coming from the neg- side, i’m assuming a wire does go there and to the neg-tab in the chassis. pic courtesy of Bitmod.tk.

pretty easy, it hooks up jus like any other dual cell. so it can still charge the same way, except for tha fact ull have another battery atached to ur controller.

edit: oh yeah and rest the board in backwards

[rashumble7]

Thanks chino, but after staying up all night and morning i finally figured it out myself, hopefully i didn’t fry the cells in the process. Stand alone charger in the works.

[chino]

cool. i may need sum info o that. i jus added another cell to my controller. seems to e workin jus fine.

anyway im goi to be tryin to get mor ZZs now that i know some of them come with front srings. i put them in one of my single cell BCGs now it hanldes great resrly spins out no matter how slippery or how dirty tha tires get. i can still dpin it out at will. now im able to do a rolling 360 and recover. zombie voice* “must get more springs” haha

cars i saw the springs on
-ford f150
-jeep

[rashumble7]

No doubt Chino, ill take a few pics of the charger for you.
