Really confused what you did
Please could you help and explain
He basically made a dummie cell to complete the circuit. he canât use two cells due to increased voltage

Hi, you have to use the Mini Remote receiver or the Redcat Racing E710 âRedâ receiver. I donât know of any other that will bind to the Mini Remote.

what @Mikenopolis said. Also, I came across this which might be the best solution of them all.

Wow, now that is a good idea. BMS and charge port, built right into the cell itself
Instead of a dummy cell you could also solder a wire across the other battery slot, it might be lighter and more reliable.

Yep. Would eliminate the need to take the battery out and put in a separate charger. Just open the back of the remote and put the cable in without taking the cell out. I wonder if you could cut a hole in the back door of the remote and align it to the charging port of the cell.

I wonder if there is a Qi wireless charging solution that would fit in the space of the other AA slot

Oooh and if you could get one of these in the cell so it could use a magnet charger set flush into the case.
Pretend itâs micro usb please

I wonder. Havenât seen a wireless charging adapter that small though. But wireless charging would mean you never need to open it so if you wire something like this by making a slit in the battery cover and connect to the battery and have the pad outside the remote and cover it with tape, it could work nicely.
@Venom121212 thats a legit good idea. Could use double sided tape on the cell to not have any rotational movement inside the case too. reduce stress on the port.

Ironically, that exact tiny adapter component has been lost in my house and is driving me absolutely nuts

I use this microUSB to magnet converter and heat shrink to cheap microUSB cables so I donât have to pay their proprietary cables. Been working fine for two years now
Also the nub that plugs into your device is TIGHT, I wrap floss around it a few times and pull them out. DO NOT use pliers or youâll break the magnet

Great idea. I have 14500âs around for flashlights but never thought of this lol.
Normal 14500 IMR cells are about 700-800mah, so thereâs no way with that charge port and circuit, those cells are 750mah.
Iâd recommend a normal 14500 with a Nitecore i2 or i4. Probably charge once a year⌠I guess one downside is you have to watch for overdischarge.
Thanks, maybe I will once I get my own 3d printer, but @Venom121212 printed the case for this one.
Edit: I wonât because @avX already sells them, and has a non-commercial license on it. BTW, fantastic mod @avX.

I have this remote and instead of controlling via trigger it only lets me control using the wheel how do I change that?
Youâre plugged into channel 1 on the receiver (the wheel). Move the wire to channel 2 (the trigger).
