zapped cells are.. i dont really know, but they can push 30amps on load and most cells like aaa can only put 7amps on a good day, a very good day. plus they are 1050mAh @ 1.2volts each. i have it set up saddle pack style, but that chassis is not runnin yet. 3cells on one side with the servo and 2 cells on the other side with the esc. as for the suspension, the xmod suspension (air dampers) dont bounce as much. but the only reason i use them is because i got tired of having to take the suspension arms off just to change the springs. a spring swap now takes under a minute for all 4. i have glued a set of warn overland tires on it b4 and ran the diffs tigher, almost locked, that was serious fun. the tires to add alot of clearance over the stock ones, especially the gpm tires. i drove over gravel, it was a blast. i tried to run in sand but i think i may have too much torque to do that. i also ran and a bad street, that was great too, i still do with regular tires and medium springs. the gravel was the best to watch. you can really see the suspension doin its job. i would love to see a miniz or dtm or xmod go where i went.

i raced a miniz with "soft" springs on the bad street and spanked it. all it did was bobble over the street. it was a sad sight.
