midget_man1387's first internal dual cell and more

If your trim adjustment just fell straight out, sounds to me like the little tab that holds it in got broken off. You have to turn the adjustment way past it's adjustable range, and line the tab up with the notch to pull it out. Try getting a adjuster from your dead car, making sure to remove and install the way I just described, and you should be fine.

The dual cell looks good, BTW. I have my PCB fliped so I can run my bodies lowered, but that stretches the steering wires to their limit, and makes me nervous.

i had problem occasioally with my dual cell zip turning everytime i hit forward, its was just a steering line shorted. Check all your wires and make sure they ar esafely tucked away from the pcb. I even took some tape and taped across my chassis and left just a little open spot for the wires to come up thru to the pcb and layed the pcb ontop the tape.

no, the notch is not gone

I'm not sure what's up, I hope it's not what ezenterprizes said

hey midgetman...i made one of those yesterday, except I still can't figure out how to wire the cells up...you think you could make me a quick diagram just showing the 2 cells and where to solder the wires?

I've looked everywhere and i don't understand till i get a diagram. thanks!

cow, are you doing this with a zip or a bit? and also, you're doing an INTERNAL dual mod, correct?

cowfish_29 · Post by **cowfish_29** » Thu Jun 05, 2003 5:46 pm

yep, internal in a zip. all i need is a quick diagram, 2 squares for batteries with the+ and - terminals marked, and where the wires are soldered on to. thanks!

well, unfortunately, I don't have paint on my computer so I'm not sure how I can make a diagram for you... I can try to explain it to you though

I found out you can make stuff on my lexmark X75 photo editor

so, here is your diagram!

hopefully it's not too hard to understand

...and here's another since I added to my original article for posterity sakes

no offense, cabo, but that looks like an exterior dual cell diagram... there's a slight difference..., they're wired the same, it's just, battery A would be under battery B

no offense taken man.

it works either way - look at it sideways if it helps you but the diagram still is the same don't matter what you call it or where it's at.
