USA-1 electric - what is biggest batt?

[Andy in WI]

Lets face it, after 48hours of trying to tune the USA-1 I am realizing that it is a dog. If I get a higher voltage battery will that
make it faster? What is the biggest one? Please don't ever buy
one of these trucks. They are very poorly designed.

What sucks:
No torque
Steering Sucks
Batter Dies after about 6 minutes
Motors weak
Tires too massive

What rules:
Well, I got it for free.
(however I'm already aching for something with bigger balls)

Thanks,
Andy in WI

Apply the knowledge I am about to give you to your USA-1, and you will have a beast in yours hands.

Its a different truck, but the ground rules are the same.

i think if you have a battery with more mah.
i think there's a clod battery that has like 4400 mah, that will give you maybe 10 or 12 minutes.

Speaking of that, what kind of packs are you running now? Maybe a fresh some of batterys would breath some life into your rig, for the batterys you have (you got them free right?) could be old and worn out.

Could be time for some new motors as well. Old motors tend to suck more power then they put out.

Also, those 4400mah batterys are "D" size nicad cells. BIG PACKS.
