Hi nice video. Just bought an RC for my kid and uses AA batteries. Besides voltage what should be taken into consideration before swapping to rechargeable batteries? Does mah has an effect on the circuit board or should be just fine if replaced by >700mah?
Thanks for stopping by Steve mate, yeah definitely gives these cheap store bought toy grades a boost and better run time.. I made a similar video to this a couple years ago.. This ones aimed towards maybe some new people in the Rc hobby and can get their kids involved on the process of easy DIY mods too :)
I looked up the car you mentioned and for that i would stick to a 7.4v lipo or lithium battery, a 11.1v lipo would possibly fry the electronics, remember AAbatteries do not have the same power out put as a lipo battery, its much less
I love this idea of improving a cool to the eye cheap rc ! I want to take it up a few notches and see if I could make a sharp looking Kids RC and probably with just what I have laying around make the Super Sleeper! Rebox and open around some folks with the cocky ATM killing cars Your on to something here don't know how I come across your video but it's planted a seed. Now let's watch it grow! This will be fun Except Kmart sad went the way of the dinosaurs in the State's Wal-Marts Believe eat them like a free sample cheese stick! The video of Rc toys in the store looks better than Walmart s Keep up the creative thinking and Kmart Keep up the fight
Yep you can still slap in a red jst 2s on that same nicad connector...no 390 motor for this one Paul lol. This is just a quick tip video, for anyone that may be interested in getting a bit more out of these cheap toys for their kids :)
good conversion vid mate 👍🏼 this works for methanol gas cars too... my servos chew a lot of power. i am yet to try it on drone controller 6xAA or wildlife cam 8xAA, but they're next. chat soon
Can you run higher voltage on toy grade receivers? I want to grab one of these new app and rc controlled toy grade vehicles from the big box store so that I can use its controls for a 24v/48v ride on car. That way I can always control it even if I forgot the remote but have my phone.
You can't run too a higher voltage than what is recommended for the toy grade receiver otherwise it will fry the board. For example i only have used a 2s battery which is 7.4v on a toy grade that might have used 4x AA batteries which equals to 6V, or maybe one that uses a 7.2v nimh battery. I would not try use a 11.1v 3s lipo or anything like that cause it will fry the board instantly. Thanks for watching David
@@PERTHWESTOZRC if the inputs and outputs are non proportional, then should we be able to take the output from the toy grade receiver and activate a relay with high battery voltage?
Yes lipo mod on the transmitters is a great idea also for sure. Its funny Dan cause we were talking about this conversion the other day and I filmed this video last week haha. Have a good day bro, thanks for watching
They are easy to find everywhere online, just type in red jst connectors male and female, you buy em in 20 pair bundle for a few bucks, very cheap cheers for watching
I just did this to a 6v rc before watching this. Cool to see how you did it and know that I'm not breaking the toy. Edit. Now after watching just did it to a very small truck that ran off 2 AA batteries. It's amazing how much better it became and more fun. Just to comfirm what worked for me. 2AA =3.7 VOLT conversion. 4 = 6v.
Great minds think alike I guess John 👍 haha yeah as long as you don't volt it up too much, going from 6v to 7.4v I have found works with no issues on these toy grade RC's. Thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍
Yep if there was a car in need of that mod, that was it..As you know I do the same thing with some of my toys, also have done this with TX's that require up to 6 AA batteries..
Wow i made mine with a old power bank battery and my rc car went crazy fast and lasted long
I recommend subscribing 😮😮😮😮😊🎉
Great job nice mod another great video thanks Patrick
thanks mate
Another useful video. Many thanks. I'm learning, slowly 😜👍

Nice! it looks like a Camaro... I always used to use rechargeables in the toy grade RC cars it always gives em a performance boost!!

I have a Revell 24554 rc car which uses 8xAA batteries. Do I need 12v battery? Which is better to use Lipo, nimh or li-ion?
I looked up the car you mentioned and for that i would stick to a 7.4v lipo or lithium battery, a 11.1v lipo would possibly fry the electronics, remember AAbatteries do not have the same power out put as a lipo battery, its much less
Great job buddy. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Ray
Nice job Dave, I did this mod to several of my toy cars and they work a lot better.
Yep good quick mod to do, thanks Gregory

Nice battery mod Dave, nice job.
thanks Ron
Nice little mod.👍
Cheers Dean
This is a super helpful video for anyone with a car that has the removable AA/AAA tray. I''m surprised you didn't swap it out for a 2s lipo :) lol
thanks for watching Ryan
Thank man now my rc will be fast😅
Thanks for watching
Looks great, nice job bro👍👊
Thanks for watching John
Aw c'mon Dave, swap out that motor for a 390 and throw a 2S in lol.

Great Mod David I’ve done similar mods on my channel with stock transmitters replacing the the AA batteries with Lipos.
Yes lipo mod on the transmitters is a great idea also for sure. Its funny Dan cause we were talking about this conversion the other day and I filmed this video last week haha. Have a good day bro, thanks for watching
I guess you could say great minds think a like. Have a great day David
Where did you get the red and black wire to solder to the circuit board? Do you have a description on what it's called? Hard to find on internet.
They are easy to find everywhere online, just type in red jst connectors male and female, you buy em in 20 pair bundle for a few bucks, very cheap cheers for watching
Very nice DIY project Dave!!! 👍👍
Thanks for watching Robby! :)
Hey can you pls tell me where I can get the charger for those Ni-cd AA 700 mAh 6v??
You can look them up on ebay try that out, just type in Ni-cad charger thanks for watching
@@PERTHWESTOZRC iam surprised that you reply on me fast when the video 2 years ago + you helped me
I try my best to reply to everyone that watches my videos 👍 regardless of how old the video may be, have a good day mate
@@PERTHWESTOZRC oh I can't see any charger can you put the link (I need my charger because I got back my car that I lost from 6 years )

@@PERTHWESTOZRC I've tried 7.4 in toys that had 6v rechargable systems. But you mean it's ok to use in the ones with 4aa?
Nice mod for bumblebee! Speed test? 🍻👍✔😆🙋
Haha no speed test :p Cheers for watching SP!
How’d u charge the ni mh battery?
With a hobby grade charger, you can also use one of those USB chargers with the correct plug
How many volts do you use on the batt?
Think it was a 7.4volt
Where can i get the battery to buy and female end
you can find them on aliexpress or ebay
I tried throwing a dewalt 20v on mine.. didn’t end well lol
Lol 😂
Not the same as rechargeable aa batteries?
how do u charge the batery pack tho?
Take it out of the bottom tray like normal
im having trouble taking off that kind of battery ( 1:14 )
Yep if there was a car in need of that mod, that was it..As you know I do the same thing with some of my toys, also have done this with TX's that require up to 6 AA batteries..
