1:15 6.4-Volt Ford Raptor truck from Walmart with working/running time of 15 to20 minutes
Open the truck from Below
Remove the Battery Holder
Open the Battery Holder Battery (6.4V 350mAh)
Remove the wires Remove the battery
Get an additional/replacement battery Remember: We are not increasing the performance of the car, we are increasing its working time by choosing and adding a bigger capacity battery of same voltage. Here I have the original battery of 6.4 V with 350mAh and additional battery of 6.4V with 1600mAh. WARNING: Batteries are dangerous business so before start playing please educate yourself about them.
Wiring the batteries together to increase the capacity to get longer working time The batteries are wired in Parallel (connecting positive to positive and negative to negative). Now the combination have capacity of 1950mAh at 6.4V- roughly 6 times increase. Warning: Connecting the batteries is a dangerous business so please educate yourself first. + + - -
Insulate the wire-joints, wrap the new battery in Watertight bag and mount it back
Truck is ready with roughly 6 times the working time of 90 to 120 minutes. Important: Please choose the battery carefully, please educate yourself before wiring, do not wire the batteries in series (it may burn the electronics). The procedure outlined here will be different depending on the RC vehicle but the idea is the same.
