very very cool. i have a bit of a thing for yellow trucks cars ect. that would look great sitting beside my max hopper lol.
-
Thanks man,,,i dont recall the mini running this good as a kid with only running 4 AA's its surprising this thing will do high speed dounuts in high gear in the kitchen with ease lol
-
nice little mini ye there fun on a nice shiny tiled or vinyl floor
-
could be the more modern battery's giving it that extra kick ;)
-
thanks scorcher,and yeah didn't think of that,,that was 20 yr old technology lol
-
talk about modern battery ive been thinking about getting a tyco mini if i can get a really cheap 1 to try 2 of these init would just have to rewire the battery box a bit these are li ion and are AA size but have 3.6v power per batttery so 2 would be 7.2v be worth a try i think

whats funny is i have 4 of those 3.6v 900mah li-ion's i bought for a camera awhile back and never used them,,id be to scared to try em in the mini hopper,,i do have a old tyco kraco turbo indy that i just might throw them in and see what happens lol
-
go for it man. i ran 14.4v 7400mah through a speedo that was only rated to 9.6v for about 2 years before it blew its self to bits but that was powering a tamiya bullhead with two cordless drill motors up and down a river lol.
-
i used those camera batteries, i think it killed the car
-
most probs restrict it to 6v but it still will blow the board after awhile but will be fun to see
