Hi all-

I just read a posting about r/c car questions so I figured I would
post away.  First off, does anyone know where to to get nicads
cheap?  I like to build my own 6 and 7 cell packs and I am looking
to build more but I am sick of spending tons of money on my
battery packs.  Maybe I am getting a good deal you tell me,
I can get matched sanyo 1400 indvidual cells for $3/cell (low numbers)
$4/cell (decent numbers) and $5/cell (good numbers), (when I
say numbers I mean similar discharge rates, etc.)  Where can I get
cheap cells of 1400 to 1700 mAh??

My next question also deals with nicads, I would like to build a 
peak charger, anyone have any plans?

How can I make my stock motors faster?  Can you make them like
modifieds or what?

Lastly I was wondering if anyone else out there is still using the
old RC10 gearbox (prior to the stealth).. I use it, simply for
to avoid purchasing a stealth.. But if anyone else still uses it
do you have any tips?


Well take care and thanks-
