Cools sound like a good idea, recon that would be able to handle the require ments? If so any idea where I can buy a XL from in the UK or do i need to order from america, also any idea how much tht upgrade costs? Thanks for the help

yeh 4 drills easy id say the upgrade for me was about Â£65 and you will need to buy from the us however rick sometimes holds finished models and you can buy one straight from him for the bigger amount

it is worth it though, he lives in the neatherlands so there is a slight postage cost but again worth it

i have pm ed you his email just ask him about it and he will help

Ok think im going to buy my drills today, just before I do though it not worth upgrading to http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.js...isSearch=false or http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...LESS+DRILL.htm is it?

those 12v argos ones are fine the only difference i guessw ould be the life of the batteries, but 12volt will work fine plus you can over volt these motors by a few volts giving extra speed

plus the money you can save here might mean you can get the xl upgrade version

ill second that. YOull have much more headroom for overvolting with the 12 V drills , and there cheaper.

Right well I bought my first two drills today (well when I say bought I had nectar card points saved up so actually free

). Ive emailed rick about the XXL and just waiting for him to message me back. Have also message grant to see if I can get some blue wheels. Just need to sort out a reciever and transmitter now.
