left my xmod on all night

[silver 4.6]

after messing with my xmod i put it in the box and left the car on all night, will that do anything to the car except for drain the batteries?

[TheB1GDude]

Your just using AAA batteries right?

Should be fine.

[taiwanesekid05]

It might have drained the AAA's, but otherwise, it shouldn't matter (It might still run actually, but with reduced power).

[silver 4.6]

yeah it runs, i was useing alkaline aaa's.

[zippo855]

yeah, it just killed that batteries, and word of advice ditch the akelines and get some nimh rechargeable batts.

[Action B]

Nimh will make your car faster and have a longer run time.

yeah i got some duracell nimh, they ran for almost 30 minutes straight, to bad i got a worthless charger though. it only charges 2 aaa's at a time and needs 5 hours... BS

i dont know, i might be wrong but if u have NiMH (if u do (eventually) use them) idt u should leave ur car on, micro t's use'em and ur not supposed to leave it on i think (correct me if im wrong)

It's like leaving a light on in your 1:1 car. It will, yes, drain the battery dry.

Now, with any battery for xmods (aaa) you should remove the batteries, when you turn off your xmod. The battery acid inside of the batteries will leak out onto the Postive and Negative terminals on your xmods battery trays. Though it is very easy to clean it off.

Leaving batteries in your xmod, while it is turned off can shorten the life of your terminals and your batteries also. Well, not really shorten the life, but it will seem like it as the acid will become a sort of resistor, and cause a resistance and will result in a power drain.

Best advice, turn off your xmod and then take the batteries out. Only advice that can be used by any member, even if they are somewhat annoying.

im annoying :O

i can see that. though.

Cheap and easy to do ebay and get the ps2 packs with the charger. They work extremly good made me happy next thing im going with after this is some upgraded axels then thinking upgrade motor and fets or v2 board. What happens if you leave Li-ions all night?

[mr.hotrod]

they die pemanantly, you do not want liths if you will be running the car in say, a bedroom. they are overkill

I like the insanley fast cars in small area lol. Took it out to school and was jumping over 3 tables haha full speed onto a ramp gets crazy. Hard to control its crazy once it goes fast enough.
