You can do the 6 cell mod. That adds a lot of power and the cost for parts is under 5 dollars depending what plug you use. I used this plug. Here is a link.

You get an increase, you should try to use fresh batteries and buy the bearings which decrease friction.

Read this thread. The 6 cell mod is explained very well here.

go to http://www.towerhobbies.com and then in the search window enter mini-z twin turbo. Not an engine. Definately more speed.

hey thanks for the info, have u tested it out urself casue if so i might just get it

theMonster · #11 11-11-2003, 07:30 PM

I've not bought mine yet but I've read a couple of other guys said they did it....seems pretty much anything you can do with a mini-z you can do with one of these....mini-zs are too damn expensive though....I may buy an lxx mini-z...and compare it to the x-mod, it is made EXACLTY like the mini-z and costs half as much as an x-mod......I'm buying the twin turbo and a new ball-bearing Megatech high speed & high torque motor from Tower in the next couple of weeks. Doing the 6-cell mod this weekend...If you can wait I'll let you know how well the twin turbo works....

security civic · #12 11-11-2003, 07:33 PM

yeah i can wait and i hope they carry the twin turbo thing at a hobby store near me and good luck with ur mods
