- Hi all-
-
- I just read a posting about r/c car questions so I figured I would
- post away. First off, does anyone know where to to get nicads
- cheap? I like to build my own 6 and 7 cell packs and I am looking
- to build more but I am sick of spending tons of money on my
- battery packs. Maybe I am getting a good deal you tell me,
- I can get matched sanyo 1400 indvidual cells for $3/cell (low numbers)
- $4/cell (decent numbers) and $5/cell (good numbers), (when I
- say numbers I mean similar discharge rates, etc.) Where can I get
- cheap cells of 1400 to 1700 mAh??
-
- My next question also deals with nicads, I would like to build a
- peak charger, anyone have any plans?
-
- How can I make my stock motors faster? Can you make them like
- modifieds or what?
-
- Lastly I was wondering if anyone else out there is still using the
- old RC10 gearbox (prior to the stealth).. I use it, simply for
- to avoid purchasing a stealth.. But if anyone else still uses it
- do you have any tips?
-
-
- Well take care and thanks-
