RC car battery upgrade? (any physics major? electricians?)

so you're saying possibly the 8 eneloops are too good for the fried RC car? or the fried RC car is too weak to handle 8 eneloops?
 
Idunno if what came to my mind even makes electrical sense. If it does, it still is no indication for how your car will do.

I wish I can do a body transfer too! I like the Tamiya CC01 chassis!

Yep that's the one I've seen the most, I have one with a Defender 90 body on. I can't offer any more advice on the electric though I'm afraid.
 
Eight AAs = 12V. It's what the hobby-grade transmitters use.


To answer your question, OP, you'll increase it for a while. But eventually you'll just toast the reciever.
 
Just a little update.

I worked on the upgrade for the entire night.

my 9.6V eneloop pack seems to be doing alright

now I just really hate myself because I can't solder for shxt! :mad:

and I'm really mad about myself on that...

I guess the saying "things are easier said than done" is right...

sigh <_<
 
I think the only way you'll get more than that is with a mechanical speed controller, to keep the radio system apart from the motor power system (requiring 2 battery packs). Tamiya cars and trucks have them and they're reasonably robust as long as you don't let the resistor overheat.
