Hmm looks like your trying what i did once, hacking two rc toys for a weapon and drive... trust me, it won't survive ONE match unless you got some decent rc toys. I'm not sure about interference, wouldn't think so. Confused

it probably wont work unless you have the same crystals in there. i ran 29mhz tx and 36mhz rx in kang. didnt work too well. got a few matches out of it.

i wouldnt even attempt the two txs on the same aerial. two aerials of appropriate length for each.

Most cheap rc circuits could probably handle that, mainly due to a safety margin in the components.. i've run a microCharge circuit board at 9v for a little while... heated up bigtime but it didn't fry (probably was about to though, don't recommend it!... Laughing )

There is an amp hour rating for a battery. It is a measure of the power of the battery. The current of a circuit is the voltage of the cicuit divided by the resistance of the circuit. You will not change the current draw of a cicuit by using a higher amp hour battery.

Ballina is about 2 hours south of Brisbane!

So about 8 or 9 hours from Blacktown Razz!
