Thinking about doing some mods to a SE.

Actually, I was thinking about removing the light system from one of the SE bodies and transplanting them into another like the new Camaro or something. Also, I was thinking about possibly trying a Laymans 4 cell since the original battery is longer, if it will fit. I've got some questions for the more tech minded people out there. How do you think the extra voltage will effect the motorized steering? Will it be too much for the PCB? I know not much is known yet about these yet, but I don't want to be the first to blow his up! Any ideas?

And yes...for those who know me, I am looking into a wheel mod. It appears to be fairly simple. You remove one screw on the bracket above the knuckles and they look like they will just lift out.

I have done the Modifiers wheel mod on one of my regular Zips and while they look really good, they don't do to well for performance. I'm going to go with something a little more solid like the KIT Racer wheels. They are probably one of the best wheel mods that don't sacrifice performance IMO.

I have one question about the se ....like the 150 other guys on this forum(I think you reached celebrity status here) but is that epoxy or something on the pcb to keep us from messing with it?

Uhhh....Off Topic? Just a little bit.

Awwww, man! I loved the Ahh5hit name! I thought it was funny and creative at the same time. I'm still laughing....
But how did you change your posting name?

There is some type of coating painted over the PCB. This will make mods a little bit harder now.

Yeah, the top of the PCB board has some kind of coating, but the bottom doesn't. Maybe it's just for appearance, or maybe to prevent interfearence.
