Front and Rear Dog Bones For Evo Xmods
$4.90 (Feb 2006)

Funny after I had ordered the Front Dog Bones I went back to get a photo of the Rear Dog Bones and I couldn't locate the item, I'm not sure if it's just out of stock or not available anymore. I'm not really sure how different the front and rears are they look like they should be interchangeable but I'll let you know when they get here. The difference is that the rears have a full dome on both ends unlike these front ones.

I've seen these in many sites but for some reason they seem to be sold out most of the time I'm not sure if it's because they are really in demand or if they are just short on supply.

Silver Steering Plate Stock For Evo Xmods
$5.90 (Feb 2006)

I ordered this even though I had one from another site mostly because this one appears to made from two parts (notice the screw in the bottom of the plate) and the other one I purchased was cast in one piece.
Which is better? I'll soon find out.

Sanyo 1000mAh AAA
$15.90 (Feb 2006)

It's a secondary battery capable of charging and discharging that can save twice as much energy as an ordinary CADNICA battery. Twicell uses hydrogen absorbing alloys in its negative electrode (anode) and nickel oxide in its positive electrode (cathode). Since its release, the 1st in the world in October 1990, the "Twicell" sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery has developed a strong reputation for high capacity, high performance and high quality. In November 1996, Sanyo was the 1st manufacturer in the world to achieve 300 million cells accumulatively.

• High volumetric energy density well exceeding that of Lithium-ion batteries.
• Double capacity of standard CADNICA batteries.
• Can be used over and over (more than 500 times with a specific charger).
• 1.2 to1.6 hour quick charge with a specific charger.
• Compatible with Nickel-Cadmium batteries (almost same discharge voltage).
• Produced under a ISO9002 certified quality control system.

I suspect these will very quickly replace my previous favorite which are the Sanyo 900mAh

Update March 9 2006 I fully charged these and proceeded to perform speed runs with my two Evo's one had the Sanyo 900mAh and the other the Sanyo 1000mAh batteries. The Evo with the 1000mAh seemed to run faster so after about 5 minutes we swapped the batteries and observed to see if the swap would cause the previously slower Evo to run faster and changing to the 1000mAh did improve it's performance! Now this wasn't exactly a controlled test but if this statement is true "High volumetric energy density well exceeding that of Lithium-ion batteries" it would certainly account for the increase in performance. Just think the performance of Li-ons with no modifications, OK I get that part of Li-ons appeal is the increased voltage, 7.5 Volts of power compared to the lowly 4.8 Volts with 4 AAA's but with the right motor (enter the 35T Hand wound in Atomic Can) you can pass other Li-on Cars that aren't set-up correctly. To be honest we quit before batteries did, after 20 minutes we were still running fine and the motors deserved a break (a wee bit warm).
