My Bondi Surfer Girl has arrived and I have been busy waterproofing it following all the advice on this forum. There sure were a lot of leaks! The best tip was blowing air into the water intake to test where the air bubbles came out! She is all sealed up now.
I am about to take it out for the first run. None of the Radio gear has been changed yet, but I plan on getting some new stuff from somewhere like Hobby King shortly. In the meantime, I have a 7 cell 8.4v 2000mah Nicad and a 7 cell 8.4v 3000mah NiMh. Is it OK to use the 7 cell 8.4v batteries in with the stock standard radio gear. I am pretty sure the standard 7.2v 1800mah that it came with won't last long enough to satisfy me
My understanding is that the motor will spin faster, but everything else should work fine. Is that right?
Is there any harm in running the standard motor that little bit faster?
Cheers for the help,
Mark
