I recall you doing a cel mod ( i think it was you) to one of these pimp ass tank steering trucks. How did you set up the multi cell mod? Ive done many but hte set up looks strange inside...as if instead of being dual celled ( which it is as you know) it looks as though the atts arent connected at all. I want to replace the dual with a pre made tricell pack from one of my Epochs but im not sure if i can just wire the (+) terminal to the first positive battery compartment contact and then the (-) terminal to the 2nd battery compartment terminal.

Can you help a pimp out :cool: ?

Alos...have you tested the construction vehicles fromKidriffic on the same blister pack? I only ask as someone mentioned it has 3 features (regular tank steering and an additional spinning feature *ex. cement mixer spinning*).

i used

1: a piece of cardboard
2: a soldering iron and some solder
3: a few pieces of wire

i soldered a wire to the positive end of one of the batteries. then i soldered to the negative on the third and ran a wire from the positive end of the third cell to the terminal in the battery compartment and put the cardboard inbetween the wires. the stock charger doesnt like to charge 3 cells however so get ready to rig that as well.

Now see HOG....thats whats confusing me. Im no rookie to multi celling cars but heres the problem...

Envision the car facing away from you. As you know there is a battery compartment towards the front and one towards the rear.
i soldered a wire to the positive end of one of the batteries.
Which ...the first battery towards the front or the rear? OR did you simply remove them completely ..?
then i soldered to the negative on the third and ran a wire from the positive end of the third cell to the terminal in the battery compartment
Im trying to folow you here...You left the 1st battery touching its battery compartment (+) terminal , soldered a wire from your (-) terminal in the same compartment to the (+) end of your second battery ( which was originally in the second battery compartment) , another wire from the (-) end of your 2nd battery to the (+) end of your 3rd battery and FINALLY (lol).

connected the 3rd batteries (-) end to the (-) terminal of the 2nd battery compartment towards the rear wheels..?

My confusion stems from the fact that i already have a few 3 cell packs wired up....but i dont know if all i have to do is place a wire from the positive end of the pacl on the 1st battery compartments positive end and then adda awire to the negative end of the 2nd battery compartment (coming from the negative end of the pack). That seems simple but i dont know if the 2 compartments are connected like that ( where all i need to do is make a "bridge between the (+) and (-) terminals on each compartment)?

a series circuit is always going to be a "daisy chain" it doesnt matter which battery compartment you do this on as long as you break the chain and insert the 3rd cell.
