Hi! Is my first post in this forum, and first of all, sorry about my poor english, because I'm from Mallorca Spain. I recently buy two Mini Rio, and first thing we made was to change the stock motor to a Duratrax VR3, using stock electronics. Also we use 2S lipos 1200 mAh, but until we change the motor, we broke the electronics in the two boats. At the begining, one of the boat went faster than the stock, but we lose range of the transmitter or reciever (I don't know why). I dump for two times, but the last I lose the control of the trottle, and all the electronics inside begin to burn, and the wires was fries(no water inside). At the end we don't lose the boat.
The other boat with same motor and electronics, but without lipos, lose all of the range of the receiver, and only run with the antenna of the transmitter very near (about one feet) from the receiver, and it was impossible to run.
Now, for no lose all the money we pay, we are thinking to change all the electronics, and run with the VR3 motor. What do you thing about this parts? I think is better an FM transmitter than a AM transmitter, then:

I have a question of the receiver: Can the receiver of this pack run with the same battery (2s or 3s) voltage 7.2V or 11.1V?
Or I need this other tthing?
