I could try and remove two of the cells, but I don't want to risk draining the batteries in the middle of a fight. Reducing the amount of cells will be at 4,8V and still 120mAh. Voltage = Fast/stronger the bot go Ampere = The longer the bot can go So you will only have less power during a fight, no...
