I am on my phone so typing is not the easiest. Has anyone made a LiPo mod on the alkaline pack for the ctx? Most of the batteries I find are either not going to fit or not enough power. I ask because 13 hours runtime is just not enough with the stock rechargeable battery.

While we are on this. Why is the lithium battery 7.2 volts when the alkaline pack ends up being 12?

I thought you were mentioning LiPo suction? ;)
Seriously though, I don't like the stock rechargeables on my ETRac and have read others state that ML could do a better job.
Their rechargeables don't seem to last an entire day?

The stock lipo of the CTX are 2200mah "direct from China" with a very poor quality.

You can upgrade them with Panasonic 3250mah batteries 18650. HAven't done it yet, but I will when the stock batteries will be dead.
