Well, I'm actually quite surprised...it worked better than I thought it would. I put a 6 cell on 2 of our xmods (mine and xmodkeiths) and quickly noticed that the top speed was dramatically improved but acceleration was not all that i was hoping for. This is easily explained as I increased overall voltage but did nothing really for current draw from the batteries. I used a 100 micro farad (uf) cap ($1.29) and soldered it directly to the ep (as I recommended in my sticky) where the battery wires connect. It's not a huge increase but it is most definitely noticeable...especially from a standstill. It definitely has more bottom end (and of course this in no way takes away from top speed). I do recommend that you be pretty proficient with a soldering iron before you try it and as always i will give more details if anyone is interested...maybe even a tut if this proves popular enough.
