Progress Report: 1930+18120 Supermaxx

Hello there chaps im making a progress report with my car I hope there is no objection to me making another thread, but if there is you can delete it :P


Today i ran it at the park. Still with 12 cells.(18120, 1930/12, 17/72, 1/8eu diffs)

Within 30 seconds, my tires unglued and the where sliding sideways so they werent properly seated in the wheel half the time. Thats is ok.

Now as i was running it i felt that i still wanted to maybe get some more top speed out of it, so i was planning to get some 18/72 or 19/72 gearing.
After about 10-15 mins of running, the car was loosing signal almost all the time. When i checked i saw that my rx pack had almost completely drained(steering servo was very slow for a 200oz airtronics), which is really weird.

I checked it on a rx pack reader and it read 'high' before running the car. Maybe it is because i havent charged this pack for about 1 year, but still seems weird. Over all im quite happy with the car but i want more power.

Do you think 18 cells will make it much more powerful?

Cheers for the help so far!
