Got my power dash and installed it today! it about doubled the speed of the little guy. put it in a Thomas (I think we have 3 or 4) and then put the Thomas Paint body on him.
I think that I made an error and ordered the AA not AAA cases for making battery mods. It seems like, in general, that if the unit takes an AA or AAA battery, then swapping out the motor makes sense. If it takes the C battery then changing the battery from C to 2XAAA (or even 3XAAA) makes sense. Does anyone have any other thoughts/opinions?
Also, I was watching a you tube video where the guy showed a battery case that held 3 (i think) AAA batteries and the case was the same size/shape as a C Battery, that is, one could use this and just pop it in where the C goes and suddenly have 4.5 Volts.
Cheers!
