Following!!

PS: I have a repop R59 cut apart but can’t find a cost effective small battery to put inside. The PC925 Odyssey is 75% of the cost of a new repop....

Ideas?

Thread stealer?

The F.A.S.T. guys were doing it for years. Even some of the P.S. guys were doing it until they cracked down on it.
I used to have a pretty good write up on how that was done, as I experimented with it myself several years back. Have no idea where that is now but there are bound to be forums for the F.A.S.T. racers where this question could be answered. I don't surf the internet much.
Great way for weight savings though. I got to the point I was carrying my bathroom scale and weighing various brand batteries. It's surprising how much difference there is among brands.

I remember Tom Shaw writing an article about this for MCR back in the day! When did the pure stock techies crack down on this??
