I searched all over the internet for instructions on how to modify these awesome little R/C cars from New Bright. Most responses on various hobby forums were, 'Spend $50 for a real hobby car, otherwise enjoy it for what it is.' And also, 'Don't expect much for $25. Especially from New Bright.'
I also read that people had issues with the Li-po batteries in these cars dying after only several charges. Warning: Lithium batteries do not like to be jostled around, nor will they tolerate being short circuited.Caution: This step requires using a hot soldering iron.After the protective cover of the main board is removed, you will see a red battery cell. You will want to disconnect the three white clips with wires. Be gentle with them as they are not made of a durable plastic and the wires may pull out of the plastic connecter if you use too much force.Next, pull the mainboard out and gently grasp the battery cell and make the green side of the board face you (as shown in the picture).You need to apply gentle pressure to the battery (as if you are trying to pull it off of the board). Then heat up the solder on each lead of the battery. You can ask someone to help you with this part or just use your fingers to brace against the mainboard as if you're trying to pinch/push the battery away from the board.Then, alternate heating up the solder on the battery leads. You may notice that as you heat up the solder, that the lead will kind of give a little, but only so far-because of the other lead being soldered in place.
Take your time and alternate to the other lead, allowing the opposite lead to come out a little.Continue being patient and repeat as necessary, until the battery is free.Caution: Lithium batteries don't like high temperatures. If the hand that is holding the battery feels warm or uncomfortable then take a break!Do not overheat the battery nor be in a rush. Especially if you want to preserve these tiny, rechargeable battery cells for another project.Note: In the third picture you notice I am pointing at the mainboard and it looks as though something was removed. You are observant! On this board I removed the white plastic coupler because I wanted to use it (which did not work out in the end).
The USB cable you disconnected earlier has a long wire. Once you cut the protective covering you will notice two inner wires. One wire has a plastic shield on it (this is the + lead) and the other has no protective plastic shell (this is the - lead). Note: if you are using your own USB cable, you may want to check post.If you are using the USB cable that came with the R/C car, then + is white and - is the bare wire. If you are using your own USB, then power is red (+) and black (-).You can see in the picture that + and - are clearly marked. If you have any doubts you are doing it correctly, please ask an adult for help. This may only be 3v-5v 1A DC, but again, Lithium batteries are volatile and will catch on fire if short circuited (i.e.
If the connection is improperly soldered etc.). Lithium is a metal and putting out a metal fire is not fun.trust me, I was in the Navy on a Submarine and we had to deal with metal fires.Note: Before proceeding to step 7, I suggest ensuring the power switch is off now (otherwise when you connect the battery it will send live voltage through the mainboard before you're ready).
If your remote has batteries in it-and it was working previously-turn the R/C car upside down (tires in the air).Go ahead and press the buttons on the remote and ensure the tires work. Test the left and right controls to ensure the front wheels can turn and forward and backwards.If everything works, AWESOME! You're almost done!If it does not work, take the batteries out of the remote and then put them back in and press back and forward twice (this will force the remote to 'find' the mainboard's transmitter signal).

You do not need to turn off the R/C car to reset the remote (two remotes can connect to a single vehicle-which is funny for messing with family).If it still does not work, turn off the vehicle, ensure the battery you are using is charged (i.e. Plug it into a cell phone to see if it charges the phone). If it provides power for another device then plug it back into the vehicle and power the vehicle back on. USB cables are made of thin strands of copper wire (in most cases) and copper can tolerate bending.for a time. And since you are going to be moving the cable often while installing and removing the battery bank, for charging, it is advisable to make a small cutout on the mainboard cover.You can skip this step if you want, but I suggest a little 'surgery' if you plan to keep this R/C car for a while, without service.You can use hot glue to seal up the mainboard case if you want an extra layer of protection. But be advised this R/C car was not designed to go through water. The motors are not sealed and neither was the mainboard.
There are holes in the former USB enclosure that you will need to seal with hot glue also. Now you've reinstalled the cover on the mainboard, it's time to make things tidy!If you have a lot of extra cable you can wrap it and store it in the body.
There's plenty of room inside.Once you're ready, replace the plastic body cover and stick the USB through the hood-as shown in the second picture.You're all set!!!You can see that even with my long battery, it fits nicely inside the body. You may have a battery of a different size or shape and your experience may vary from battery to battery, but you've gone from a 3.2v.3A battery to a 5v 1A battery!!!Congratulations!Now that 'New Bright R/C Chargers' car (or whatever body it has) has a bigger battery and more power.Note: I have not tested any batteries that provide 5v 2A, but I have been using this 1A battery and it can run for 4-6 hours between charges. It is a 3Ah battery but if you divide that up that's less than 5 Watts per hour!I hope this instructables was helpful. I scoured the internet before I 'operated' on my own R/C cars, but didn't find any helpful information. So, if you're on a tight budget like me, but like tinkering and have the time and tools-you can have some fun with this project.
