duall cells for drifting
I wanted to let people know about this. I recently did an internal dual-cell by taking out the piece of plastic between the battery compartment and the motor compartment. I did leave a little of the bottom part for stability. I did this so the batts would sit back farther. I got the batts to sit almost all the way back to the middle gear pin. Of course I had to restructure the motor connections a little. I'm sorry, but this is a lot of dremel work. So if you don't like dremels, or don't have one, then this might not be the mod for you.
PERFOMANCE: Outstanding. The weight gets distributed much better. I put the stock mediums back on and it handles better then any other car I have. I can drift it much easier then any thing I've seen for the bits yet. We all know drifting bits is easier said then done, but with this mod it took me about 5 minutes to get good with drifting this car. I haven't tried it on carpet yet, but I imagine you would need slicks for drifting on that. IT BARELY EVER SPINS OUT! I go from 0 to mach in a perfect straight line (with a new 3.8). I think because there's more weight in the back then the back tires stick better. It also doesn't flip easily. I have to hit a pot hole to make it flip.
DRAW BACKS: As with most dual-cells, when it gets up to speed it doesn't turn as sharply. So.......... slow down!
If you're good with a dremel, then I would deffinitely give this mod a try.
Sorry if I just posted something that's been posted before.
