Dancing Rider with stock 380 and 3s?

[ncpantherfan71]

Just got my Dancing Rider and was wondering if anyone here has tried a 3s battery with the stock 380 brushed motor?

I wouldn’t. These things don’t like going that fast.  I have a 5500k brushless and running it just with a regular 7.2v nimh.  It ended up pulling a wheelie and scuffing up the body

That's my goal.  If it has a Willy head, it has to pull a wheely!

If you're gonna be pulling wheelies you'll need a stronger centering spring for the forks. The kit one is very soft and just about strong enough to center them when you pick up the trike. You'll need the forks to snap to center and hold so that when the front wheel comes back down it doesn't flop at all. Not sure how that'd help the thing steer normally though! I'm running the standard motor and dedicated LiFe battery for reference.
