Power to the Super Rebound

Step 3 Modifying the charger

As you can see in the picture, the charger is a really cheap module. A real batter killer! The only thing that is worthy is the case, because the special battery pack for the Super Rebound fits exactly into it.

To be shure that no one ever puts the charger into the power socket ... I cut of the pins. Now I can lay it on a table beside of the new charger.
I removed the cheap charging parts and soldered some wires on the contacts to connect the new charger.
The new charger is connected via a small power plug. On the picture you can see a test setup. I did not have a power plug by hand ...

After charging I put the new battery pack into the car and ... whow ... more power than ever!

I have one of these cars too.  Unfortunately, I lost the remote.  Any advice on how to get that project off the ground would be good.

Buy another RC tank, rip the control circuits out and transplant them...

That, or look for someone selling just the remote. These usually used only one or possibly two different frequencies (that's why you could never race your friends with the same kind of car), so buying another one would probably work.

Also if you are after a few cheap parts you can contact some of the main RC sites for spares. I got some parts for RC Tanks here. Good luck!

how much does it last without recharging?
