    Jamie, that’s another project I’m working on. A charger that’s run off a power pack with selectable voltages/currents/times…. More will be coming on that one soon……..:smiley2:
    I’ve been able to get a 15 minutes runtime off a 4 minute charge on a 60mAh batt.

    This mod is really just meant to be a simple and portable mod that many people could do.

    It depends on how you way up each factor.

    If you charge for double time, say 90secs, will you get double runtime? If you charge for 120 seconds will you get an increase in runtime that is proportional to the increase in charge time, who knows…? I’m gonna just have to try and find out…:approve:

    The point where you would not benefit from charging any longer would be when the batts blow up, ouch!:shock:

    Surface Mount LED’s are very light. Add to that fine enamled wire with very small LR44 * 2 watch batteries and you wouldn’t have more that 3-5 grams of extra weight.

    I’m working on a design at the moment where you can put a light kit on your car and not need the second power supply.

    Has anyone played C&C Generals yet? A couple of mates were playing it over the weekend and it’s meant to be pretty mad.

    As for gaming, I’m pretty old school (Mainly because my pc ain’t very fast). Descent 2, now there’s a game that rocked!

    Damn dude those rims are so sweet. In the pack you get for them do they come with all the bits needed to put them on? ie: tyres, axel, etc… Are the rims thicker than the standard bit rims? They appear to be from looking at the pics. Also, what are they like performance wise for the car’s responsiveness?

    Jamie, there’s no way that I think your stupid. I never said such a thing. I was just trying to guess the mods you did man, that’s all. You need to take a chill pill holms……

    The controller can’t natively charge a daul batt. You need 3V and greater to be able to charge OK.

    If you’re sending the transmitter as well, Jamie will prolly increase the value of the capacitor in the timing circuit to allow for a greater charge time. That and a mod to the controller to allow it to charge to batts instead of one.

    -Increses speed 2+ times over.

    Most probably a daul cell mod.

    Quote:
    -Increases torque 2+ times over.

    Again, probably a daul cell mod and/or MOSFET mod.

    Quote:
    -Increases runtime over standard cars.

    Battery capacity upgrade, 150mAh prolly.

    Quote:
    -Brings weigh distribution upto 50/50.

    Internal daul bat mod for sure….

    Ya silly bugger :smiley2:, don’t add an extra antenna on top of the other one. Add a new one all together. There will be a lot of signal loss in just combining the two, lol!:approve:

    Yes that solder stays there. Are you using the original antenna?

    If you mean that the solder is connecting the two pads together, then no, it shouldn’t be there, you are creating a short circuit which would probably kill the car alltogether. I’m sorry surfy I don’t have a car PCB in front of me (I’m at work and I _should_ be working :shock:). I’ll have a closer look tonight.

    Thanks man, I’ll give it a go.

    Yup, the old midnight oil, seems that I have all my insight in the wee hours of the morning when I’m running low on sleep and high on caffine…
