You have to take off the battery arm and you can use a velcro strap or you can do like I did and design a battery hold down that fits in the spot and use it. Best way is just by using a battery strap.
@@davmanlop333 its very possible. Many of the 1500 or 1600 mAh batteries will fit without modification. You can tell if you measure the modular battery that comes with the car, and use that as a reference you should be good to go. They usually have the battery measurements in the photos on amazon.
Thanks I talked to Steve today from Team Junkyard Dog he is planning to do another run soon. I have some upgrades to finish as well to try to beat him. Thanks for watching!
A lot of my cars come set up toe out for directional stability. For speed running bringing it toe in will reduce some drag but they can quickly become a handful. If you look at how toe in vice toe out effects steering dynamically you will see why this occurs and probably is the reason you found a change in the handling. The car probably pulled before but toe out neutralized it. You could look at adding a tooth or two to the pinion gear. There's also the possibility to play with ESC programming to optimize the timing for speed. Basically I would be looking to trade off acceleration for top end speed at this point as that's the challenge.
Thanks for the input. I figured messing with the toe could cause issues but I honestly didn’t think it would be that noticeable. I may reset only slightly toe out to see if that helps as well. Fun trying to figure it all out. 👍🏾😁
I thought I responded. Well I made my cables myself. Everything you need is in my idea list on Amazon. www.amazon.com/shop/altone/list/5JY4TLVNPVH?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfaltone
I made my own extension cord. The cable and connectors are available on Amazon. Affiliate Link: www.amazon.com/shop/altone/list/2NQOS337G3KY2?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfaltone
Yes, and if steering is a problem, might I suggest you undo your suspension changes and level the car back out. Too much weight on the front will cause it to hunt every defect in the road. Why do you people screw with these things when you don't know what you're doing? If you don't know exactly why you're making a change, DON'T DO IT. I don't believe toe in is the issue. You want 1degree toe in tops and if you can hit less than that, you should. Remember bearing slop and try to hit right in the middle. Dirt cheap alignment tools are available. And toss in a stand alone gyro. About 25 dollars. That's the first thing I did before I even ran it. I have the Gool version of your car. The gyro will straighten it out immediately. Also understand is the tires are not street tires and they drift all over the place on the street. The gyro will also correct that. Also, you need to use the largest size battery you can find. C rating comes into play with the larger batteries. a 1600 is a toy. Grab just 35c of a 5000 mAH battery and you'll see what I mean. I realize a 5000 is impossible due to it's size, but your Zee at 2200 50c is your best start for battery power output and run time. 2200 mAH = 2.2 amps X 50 = 110 amps of throughput and is what I use in my Gool, and my Hosim X07. It should have a burst rating of 220 amps and will easily handle an 85amp ESC. Far more than you or my Gool will ever need. It puts out 110 amps of throughput making your ESC the bottleneck by half. Which is as it should be. That's why you're seeing such similar results. If you think batteries are your answer, you're looking in the wrong place. 1 or 2 mph is well within the margin of error. Only adding a larger ESC will give you better performance and then you risk frying the motor. If that thing has a 35 or a 45 amp ESC in it now, (my Gool is a 45) and you put in a 60? I almost guarantee you'll fry the motor. I haven't looked into gearing on my Gool because it'll go 50mph now on 3s. I don't think the car would hold together much more than that. You have to look into gearing and a lot of these 16 scales are impossible to change, as they don't have adjustable motor mounts therefore not adjustable pinions. That's the first thing you should check; more teeth is a larger gear and you need more teeth. With the right gearing, she should hit 50. Isn't it funny how the faster they go the narrower the street gets? LOL Get a gyro and still keep the steering rate turned down. I mean, you DO have the steering rate turned down. YES? @@AlToneRC
Nice 👍🏾 I’m going to order a few batteries for mine to join the fun
How do u fit the hoovo battery? Do you remove the latch?

@@AlToneRC awesome. Thank u. I see the zeee 3s fits without taking the arm off? Do you know if that's correct?

@@AlToneRC thanks for your help 👍
Man that thing is planted tho. Nice lil rig.

❤😮 thats really fast for a remote control car. It rumn as if you have NOS for an upgrade.❤
From what i've been told by a bunch of rc guys is that the tires are Supposed to be toed out to give you better control of the car
👍 yes I have sense heard the same.
where can you get extension cord?

The servo saver may be causing drift in the steering or the servo is too weak.
Improve the aero in the front and try removing the wing in the back.
My battery had more MAH so more power is available at top end reducing voltage drop. Connect 2 of your batteries in parallel.
I'm going to try that! Thanks
that tracking looked bad i wish you left front tires toed out a bit,cool video
yes I have sense adjusted them back toe out but Im adding a gyro. Thanks so much!
WHERE DO YOU GET THE EXTENSION CORD I NEED ONE, I bought it and it came but i need the extension
I made my own extension cord. The cable and connectors are available on Amazon.

Do you own an arrma notorious 6s v5 blx ?
No I do not.
I gotta 5200 ahm 11.4V 50c battery modified it to fit and it be flying got it up to 57mph
You got a picture how u modified such a big battery in that car?
Create a vid of your modifications and send the link, I will review the video and consider sharing it here as well. Thanks
Where do I send the link
@@ticallancaster1860 You can post it here. It will hold for me to approve. If it is a UA-cam Vid I will be sure to add it to the playlist!!
Dang I ordered one its coming with the hoovo battery
They are great batteries.
3s battery size please
1500 or 1600 should fit great!
Does it matter if it’s 35c
I do not trust the Manufactures C rating. That is why I tested different batteries in this car. it didn't seem to make a difference.
Get a gyro for the R/C car's it was straighten up the R/C car.!!!💯💯😎😎💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
yeap.. I have one.. now just trying to find the time to install. Thanks !!
See if you can get a pinion gear with more teeth. That is your next step.
Thanks. I will be working on this one again soon. We will be rebooting the speed challenge this month. 👍🏾
