Try a 3X2 motor FET stack, a 2X2 steering stack, and a regulator done all by Jshwaa. Now all I need are the cells.

Don't have a speed chekcer and I found a place that's getting cheap li-ons soon, so I'm waiting for them. Meanwhile, I found that Sanyo makes an AA sized Li-on, and I am going to try their offices in Jersey tomorrow. Here's a pic of the reg:

Well, here's my 5 li-on wonder. It's mocked up, all I need are connectors,and I'll wire it up. It'll run, I hope...
The batts sticking out the bottom are your only hint to the true power...

Sorry in advance for the crappy webcam pics..
Asthetic/External mods:
-Repainted w/ 4 coats of tamiya light gunmetal grey.
-Shortened the wingstays to mount the wing closer to the body.
-Cut an opening in the windshield to give more airflow to the heatsink.
-Japanese tuner shop style "roll call" decal layout on the hood.
-Mild bodykit.
-Titanium gold painted rims
Performance/Internal:
-Just about evey upgrade from RS except the light kit and foam wheels.
Non-RS mods:
-TinyRC/P-Zero Xframe Carbon fiber chassis.
-Custom-modified NML S-11 180 sized motor w/ 40 turn diagnal patterned armature, neo-mags.
-Stacked FETs.
-composite drive shaft, front and rear custom ball differentials, and aluminum cup shafts.
-rear tri-shock modification(drastically improves cornering traction, not recommended for drifting because it pretty much makes it impossible, great for road racing though)
-Inline mounted resistor steering servo fix, (3.3k ohm) reduces turning radius dramatically.
-Custom made internal antenna.
Future mods:
-AA size Lithium-ion cells.
-30amp, 30 volt external regulator from atomicmods.com
-Full proportional aftermaket steering servo.
So far performance wise, it can hang with a similarly modifed mini-z, which isn't bad considering it cost about $100 more to do the mini-z equivalent of my xmod(referring to the $150 price tage of a mini-z). But being that I did most of the mods myself would probably make the total even less.
I figure I've spent about a total of $120 (excluding the price if the xmod itself) in hop-ups, of course, having a radio shack employee as a friend helps keep costs down as well too, lol.
