A MUST UPGRADE FOR NEWBS

[New Era Xmod]

well as some of u may know i was trying to run on alkaline batteries LOL what a waste that was. well i just got back from RS and purchased there rechargable battery upgrade :o this xmod flys now like BAM!!! such a diffrence. plus its for starters, so then u can start using lithium when u get use to high speeds!!! im telling u please purchase these they will save time and money.

Lithium all the way that is srot of a stupid question lol..

[New Era Xmod]

when u think about it it is. lol how nub of me, although some silly people out there prefer other than lithium.

rechargeables!! cause i can't solder for crap

[VietDraGoNE]

lol, lit-ions are rechargeables -_-", if u got money get lits, they are WORTH it, if u got money to spend on like a 30 dollar charger n 20 dollars for 4 of them 15 min rechargeables jus get lits

[BlackSky909]

Yes taht is true u spend more money on taht crap when you just could have go lions

my charger + 8 batteries cost me 24.99 =P

yes they're the green RS ones that are in the xmod section

i bought 7 sets of Lithium batteries off ebay for $7 a pair. brand new.
lithiums are that expensive if you know where to look an youre patient

[Xmoder284]

i got one set of rechargeble (4) and i'm good to go. (they charge in 15 min.) They make my car hell of alot faster. :roll_eye: :nod:

The IC3s rock (they charge very quickly), but the only thing that can handle the draw from the motor I have are lithium polymers.

[RodsRUs]

how many times can lithiums be charged like 1000 charges like regular rechargibles??

They'll last longer than the xmod craze. It's around 1000 charges.

[shockmatic]

correct me if im wrong, but arent there 2 types of lithium batteries?
lithium ion and lithium polymer.

lithium ion are the blue "A" sized batteries that most of us use in our xmods and lithium polymer general come in packs and are used in r/c ariplanes and stuff like cellphones.

one of the guys i work with put a 7.4v 2000ma li-poly battery on his xmod, from one of his planes, just to see what it would do. it went extremely fast. maybe even twice as fast as the lithium ion

Lithium-ion's come in more than just cylindrical cells, but yes those are what the majority of the Xmodders use, (also used in cell phones)

Lithium-Polymers are commonly used in airplanes, I have not seen any cell phones that use this type of battery.

Lithium Batteries- Non rechargable, Waste of money

Also, No one 7.4 Volt Li-Poly would not go twice as fast as a two cell Li-Ion setup.

The only reason a li-po-equipped xmod is faster than a li-ion xmod is because a li-po is lighter than a li-ion (the li-ions used in xmods are in a metal case, while li-pos are in a plastic case that weighs nothing), but it would still not be twice as fast.

[Brickmodder]

I personally use lithium polymers. You should change your poll to include chioces for the 2 mainly used types of lithiums...

[drmodman]

I HAVE THE RADIO SHACK RECHARGEABLES AND THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD

[viperdout]

First, turn the caps lock off. Second, the RS rechargables are not very good. Go with the Rayovac IC3s and IC3 charger, as they charge in 15 MINUTES!!

[arron07]

i got my li-ions today i find that the handleing is much better than li polymer because of the increased weight

[viperdout]

:-? :lol: I don't know what the hell you're talking about, since not only does less weight mean more speed, but li-pos are light enough where they barely affect handling. BTW, where YOUR xmod?

[jpringlephoto]

I ordered a 7.4 Lith P and am waiting for it to arrive, However, when I first received my Lith Ion batteries, The car was giving me handling problems. I thought that it was too light but was confused, bc, lighter is indeed less attenuation on speed. so, I had to look elsewhere.
That was when I did the whole study on suspension handling and weight distribution.

Some think XMODS is a toy, but I will tell you that it handles just like the real thing.

If you cannot solder and want Liths, the atomicmods guy can send you a ready pair.
Just drill and strap it in.

Also, like in CART racing, pulling off the line is not always what racing is about. Handling throughout is.

[viperdout]

Atomic Mods is too overpriced. Stick with another vendor, such as www.teammnm.net , someone else, or wait until the store here reopens.

sleepyzze110 same hear i can soldder 4 crap

[EVOVIIImaniac]

yo guys im thinkin of buyin some lit's but i want to know before i get the are they that hard to install i mean how to??? :-?

[subarukid05]

i had a cordless phone and took the batteries out of it i havent put them in yet but i stuck the ends to the batteries and it worked good just need to charge them.i need to kno if it is a good idea to do this.do you need to install fets with batteries or is that just motors.
:-?

rechargable 1000 nihm enigizer makes my car a little faster
