First post...so excited. Thanks to every one here, I was able to put 2 cells in my car and mod my antenna (damn ****ty range 27mhz). I put two 50mah NiCads in my ZZ and I'm very pleased with the results. It's very quick with the NOS motor and green gears. I'm now wondering several things:
1. Can the ZZ board handle a 3rd or 4th cell for 3.6v or 4.8v (I have 2 more)
2. Will I fry anything by doing the PCB mod with my 2.4v/3.6v?
3. Will the PCB mod help me run a 2.6 motor I have? (right now it can't, it runs very very slow, it hardly moves. I'm guessing something to do with current or my 50 mah NiCads.)
Here's my part in helping guys who haven't done a dual batt mod yet and may have my setup: After I got the batteries in, connected, and soldered, it wouldn't charge. I had done the controller mod to get the batteries direct to the contacts. The charge would last for maybe 15 seconds. At first I thought my batteries got fried in the soldering process. Problem was solved by making an external 4 AA charger with a RadioShack battery holder. I love tinkering. Hope that helps someone.
BTW. Don't flame my ass if this stuff is answered somewhere else, I read the ZipFaq, QFM, and searched about 3 diffierent forums. Please treat me like I've been here a while, cuz I have, just observing though
