i personally dont like any thing more than 4 cells, the extra weight will diminish the the extra voltage by a lot, if you have 40 bucks to spend on batts go for lith ion

i got the 6-cell on my chassis and the power totally out weighs the weight (no pun intended). i just picked up to 6-cell upgrades for less than $3. now i agree liths are more powerful, but if you are looking for cheap way to increase power 6-cells is the way to go. i wouldn't recommend anythigs above 7-cells. its too much power for even 2x2 stacked FETs to handle.

i thot most you can use is 8.4v, so the voltage of a 7 cell wont fry the FET nor ( i dont think ) the current. correct me if im wrong. also lith weight like half as much as 4 cell and give you 8.4 volts, thatll take your motor to the highest rpm in the safe range of voltage, in the case of the motor im ordering itll go 52k at 8.4v. just get lith its worth it in the long run, you can also get some more money from selling your old batts.

Ight, just picked up some 900mah energizer AAA rechargeables today. Can't wait to see how much longer they last on one charge.
