Finally got a chance to test my eFest IMR batteries in C-shell converters. I first tried four of them in my Swarmfire with two dummies, and then later three-plus-one in my brand-new Rapidstrike replacement (white stripe).

In summary: WOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's even more of a PITA to squeeze the batteries into the trays, but is it ever worth it!

I just need to replace the spring in the Swarmfire, without which the range will stay the same.

To expand the story a bit, I had earlier tried eFests in one of my Stryfes (3+1), my Cam (3+1) and my Speedswarm (6), being that these run AA's natively and didn't need converters. Sadly, the Speedswarm was entirely underwhelming, even though the improvement was significant. But the others were fun.

Next stage: using D-shell converters to test Stampedes and Vulcans! And installing spring upgrades for each too!
