andramalech,
Thanks for the INFO!!! Some good stuff you got goin there. I tried the 9V mod the day after I got mine (3 days after they came out :-) But I got kinda nervous because it was so much more juice... (And I couldn't keep the thing upright with that 9V taped to the top... it kept flipping over).

So does the 1/2AA fit ok? I didn't think it would. Also, what format are these? They are NiMHs are they? I can't imagine a NiMh having that much juice. I expect its a Li+ which is sorta of hard to make a good charger for since it has to be charged at almost exactly 4.2V . Let me know what you've found on this stuff.

Check your batts again. I did check mine again and it turned out that even though they were holding charges by themselves, the charge didn't last. It was like this: I could charge it, and it would read good (that's why I reported earlier that both my batts were fine), but after I tried to use it, it was useable for approximately 1 second before it lost its entire charge.... It turned out it actually was bad. haven't got new batteries yet. Running off expensive 3v Lithium nonrechargeables for the few races I have til I get my replacements.
