You can either use a separate 6v battery pack, or you can get/make an electronic voltage regulator kit to convert 18v to 6v. I think the experienced tankers all recommend a separate battery pack to remove the chance of interference from the motors through the control electrical system. Ben

You can buy a small AA battery holder from Radio Shack or Frys or someplace similar. If you buy one that holds 4 batteries, that is 1.5V in series which gets you to that magic 6V number (1.5V x 4 = 6V). Derek On Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 11:02 AM, Ben Holko b...@holnet.net wrote: You can either

I did not know that you could get those, that would probably be the best way for me to go. However I don't know how much the C6C uses for power, so I will probably go with D batteries. Even if AA batteries are sufficient, D batteries would just last longer. Also for wheels I was thinking of wood

I was thinking about using a paintball pistol. I found one that uses a 20 round and a 10 round magazine and a 12-gram CO2 cartridge. It also has barrel threads, for an extended barrel. The 20 round magazine goes out to the end of the extended barrel, so i am not for certain i am going with that
