6 Cell 7.2V Supra

Here is my 6 cell 7.2v modded Supra. As expected, this thing hauls and will dog a 4 cell car. I have been running this for 2 days now without any problems. I installed the extra 2 batteries under the body and installed a quick connect so I can remove the body easily.

I didn't do much to the appearance cuz this one will get run quite a bit outside.

Excellent! edit:nevermind, figured it out.

Great idea with the quick connect. Does the weight up in the roof effect handling much?

No not at all, if anything, I think it makes the car stick better when running it outside on a bumpy surface. The weight is right in the middle of the car. With the major increase in speed and whatnot, it more than makes up for the extra weight.

This is my 2WD car, when I do this to a AWD car, I will do a tutorial.

Excellent idea. I think I have to do this too.

That would be sick in a AWD car. AWD is great for putting the power to the ground, and drifting through corners, but when I get my AWD kit, I was gonna covert it to FWD, to be true to the RSX, and because I prefer the way FWD handles. It's better for curvy tracks, and I'm not a drifter. RWD is better for straights, and hair pins, but I wonder how a FWD will handle with the extra weight.

I'm not sure about the FWD peformance, but the extra torque gained on this thing more than makes up for the added weight.

I already got tired of the decals, so I removed them. (Going to look for some new ones today.) I did however pick up some new paint riding around outside last night.....

you might wanna try the IC-3 batts. they charge in 15 minutes. they are expensive, but they have so much more power... when i run my blue motor im topping out at such high speeds its scary, and i can run over a half an hour at decent speeds.

And what about what maxxa said about running without the cells?
