Netvigator broadband use to be OK. But for last six months the connections has been slow. Now I find that it simply locks up sometimes and I have to log out and reconnect for a faster connection. It is getting to be a bit of a pain. But I think the speed of the connection is based on how many other users are also logged on in your area. I guess there are too many people using the service around me!?!
ims is slow but stable in general. i-CABLE has insane speed for local web servers. Just like you put a handwound 7T single on your micro.

you cant zapp old cells with too high voltage.

DTM: I see. I also think of the risk of zapping Sanyo 3000 so I did to only one pack for a trial!!

Jeff: By the way, zapping the batt. is nothing specail... Just lanch a cell and press a button! Don't expect sparks coming out and chemical leaking!!! Nothing happened. I nearly forgot which cell is zapped and which is not!

Mars: You'll race YMC this Sunday?? Good Luck!

ah wai, sorry i have overlooked your message.
i am running a LRP Quantum Sport (less then $480) on my RS4 Micro. So far I only see two hopups available in HK : front univ shafts (around $200) and front one-way (around $200). I have them already. But I think I still need the rear ball diff and high grip tires. They are not available yet.

I think they were only using 3x V for the cells.... can you remember KY9?

On my 2400 I used MAX volts.... just to see.... I was going to throw the pack away anyway!
