I have a few loose cells I thought I could easily build up and use, would save a ton of weight, but can't think of any downside to using them???
Well, we've already tried it (about 18 months back).. It doesnt work. The car tips over, at almost every corner. Seems that the extra weight of the normal size Sub C cell is an important part of Mini design. Without that weight the thing just rolls......
