Biggest battery ? I'm not sure, but 8.4v is pushing the limits of the board. And be sure to gear low so you don't fry it.

the physical size dont matter you could run it on d-cells if you want!, but the bigger they are the more weightier they are, and that'll affect performance

lol can anyone say "epic fail"?

lol i would not go any higher then a 7.2 battery. i kno the cars can handle more but it will really decrease the lifetime of the motor.

not the lifetime of the motor, the lifetime of the EP.
it's not a matter of battery size, its a matter of voltage.

dont go above 7.2v.

if you're just looking to push power through crap, i'm not sure xmods can satisfy the need

If you're changing every few minutes it sounds like your not using rechargeables...alkalines don't have a good enough discharge rate to last very long.

Been there and done that.

Buy yourself a quality charger and rotate through two or three sets of aaa NiMH rechargeables.
