xmod problems, or is this normal?
first of all, me and my friend were racing, my car wouldnt turn left when our controllers were close together, and had alot of lag from my controller to the car. i tightened all the wires and the antenna and it seemed to go away for now.
second, when batteries die, does your car just all the sudden quit? my car seems like a battery sucker, it'll run for about 15 minutes and poof, it just slows down to a stop. |

but yea 15 mins is pretty normal and when the controllers are close it happens, thats what you get with AM frequencies try standing like 5 ft apart and keep the controllers straight up instead of holding them sideways and see if that helps and any metal objects can also get in the way too

Well, you don't exactly have to buy atomic mods batteries. Go down to walgreens, and purchase some Duracell 1500MAH's. They are purttty gooooooooood if you ask me. More affordable than AM, plus they include shipping.

they are good, but use AAA batteries isn't going to get you anymore then 15minutes.. give or take a five min.
Agreed, go to walmart or somewhere locally and just buy some AAAs in the camera section with a high mah rating.

If you want some good batteries, try Orion 900HVs. They give you good run times, and work better than normal rechargeable. Also, at around $9-$10, they're usually cheaper than other rechargeable AAA's.

You can just to a Walgreens or something and buy a Duracell or Energizer battery charger for around $10-$20. They'll charge **** near every AAA battery you can throw at it.

Too bad I cannot take you serious enough, you seem like a spammer to me sadly. @ Silver 4.6 When your batteries die or are starting to die, you should see a complete power drain. It will not just suddenly stop, it will just slow right down to a crawl and then when the demand for the power is too high, and there is not enough supply for the demand, it will just not even bother moving the motor, it will try. All you can do it see the lights on(if you have the light kit.) and you may just be able to use the steering items. For a battery sucker, it seems to be doing well over normal for 15 minutes. I don't know if this plays a part in the drainage to batteries, I do know it does increase battery draw. If you do not clean your xmods driveline normally, then it will also act slow or sluggish if you may. I do believe it will play a part in battery drain, as it will need more power to move if it does have dirt build up/hair build up. It might not move at all though with dirt/hair also. Blade. |

thanks blade, your description matched perfectly what was happening.
im glad 15 mins isnt a battery sucker, i bought rechargable duracells, 800 MAH, and they are lasting more than 20 minutes per charge! by the way, blade... whos the spammer? i cant tell if you were saying that to me or the other guy... Last edited by silver 4.6; 12-19-2009 at 11:26 PM.. |

The 1000mah duracells I bought at target last around 25-30 minutes on the track even.

i might have to look into those 1000 mahs, as well as a new charger. mine only charges 2 AAA's at a time.. worthless...
i have new electronics problems i'd like help with, too. some reason, no matter how far away my xmod is, every now and then it will have a little lag form the controller to the car, and even less often it wont respond at all. it doesnt happen all the time mind you, only every 500 or so actions i tell it to do, so its very sparingly that it happens is this normal? |

As for the spammer, I was meaning the guy with the email address for a name. Smells like spammer to me, I could be wrong though. If you need anymore help I'll be sure to help you as much as I can. Blade. |
