I'm going to dual bat this booster in 5 minutes.

Rx-7 (2 bods, lame motor 2.2, box says it "HOT")

alright, my motors finally came today so now I'm going to be able to see what a 2.6, 3.0, and finally my 3.8 do in the booster.
Most of my driving is on the track so I'm guessing 2.6 is going to be my preferred track motor, but I'm anxious to see the 3.8 on wide open basement floor!
nother crappy part is - a lot of my racing is alone (that blows) which is why I'm usually on da track - takes a little longer to get boring.

Now, I remember reading somewhere about switching the boost mode in the controller, but if I remember right, it sounded cumbersome, it wasn't as simple as reversing wiring or anything - if I remember right, you had to add a resistor, etc. Sounds like a pain in the arse.
Speaking of all this speed and such, do the majority of you believe 3 cells is too much? I'm asking because the dual cell rocks, but it seems it's pushing the envelope as far as control goes.

ya i think 2 is fine. 3 probably for a zipcrap.

I have no room to test... it's beyond.

I think that convinces me.
2 is plenty, 3 is overkill.
I've been giving it alot of thought lately, especially seeing these vans around, seems like you could fit 4 batts in there no prob.
At first I thought 3 cells would be great for super torque, hill climbs and wheelies, but now I'm thinking it would just spin the tires out of control - useless.

hey hog, how'd the stomper wheel mod go?

you gotta find someplace and shoot video - I gotta see that thing rolling unboosted and then going plaid when it is boosted! lol

street out front isn't smoove enough?

Damn nox! You put that shit together in less than 30 minutes... did you even run it as a single cell ?! lol

Range....cause it's a Microsizer...the range is crap...
a reason to listin to Hog on the cones... I guess I could run next to it.. lol
it's not that bad...you know ...10'..maybe.

nox: i got the exact same microsizer and ya range sucks. the pcb is in my muscle car now.

cabo: i glued the rear axle last night so ill know more when i get home. i also reglued the pullback wheels on the rear axle. tonight i think ill be epoxying the rear axle into my muscle car, my mspro with the clone pcb and the clone with the stomper tires. so if all goes well ill have muscle speed and offroad in a few days.

this car I just build is 'sick'... just unbelieveable.

you still hear that clickin unbooster from the motor...

but when booster.. man.... it lurches forward.... just throws it self ...

it's awesome starting in booster mode... it's maddening..

ya. what kinda motor you running? dont tell me ur still usin that crap stock one.

booster with pullback wheels is even sicker. so much torque. wheelie heaven.

next I'll have to write some .noxfiles for my software to control this beast.
cause' it ain't humanly possable. any slight human change and this thing is ending up wedged in a tree like a moll.

so I guess the best way to increase range in use a clone pcb?
my range isn't as crappy as 10' but it's not 30' either - I want more range, but don't really wanna have to buy a clone just to get 1 car to go past the boogers I flick.

MS have to go through the FCC, clones don't.
