i got a 9 volt revvy with my e99 when i bought it off my friend. and we all know that the 9 volt is like shakeing a standard hopper. well instead of going out and buying a 12volt i just putzed around with this one and made it feed like one. all i did was connect two 9 volt batteries together. take out this black plastic spacer and shove both the connected 9 volts up there. now it performs like a 12 volt revvy and it didnt cost me any more. just somethin i thought id share, no big deal. only thing i have to do now is change the paddles from the 2 paddle to the 4 paddle and then ill be set.

hm, you'll probably burn out the motor unless you put in a 12v regulator. right now you've got 18v running into it.

Same thing I was thinking.  Plus its probably loud.  Correct me iff I'm wrong.

Just buy an egg2, and upgrade it to a z board, and don't play around with it, it will be better than the dead revvy you will have in about a week.
