AA has a higher voltage then AAA, also the capacity is much higher. 1100mAH compare with 2700mAH. We will also be releasing the battery pack for it. The pack will be in NiMh and will host a much higher Voltage output for the chassis.
I think the difference is that AAA has a lower current output than AA. But AAA is lighter than AA, so I suppose we should all see when the AA holder comes out and we can have a proper review/comparison.

I'll win next time, just you see!
Yes, it is true that the 05 is current out of stock in our store due to burning demand.
We will be restocking it in early March due to production delay from the Chinese New Year holiday in Mainland China.
The new set will come with AA and AAA battery box in the set, and we will also be launching our battery pack upgrade options. I had just tried it yesterday, I can tell you that the car both Torque and Speed has an noticeable increase.
AA has higher capacity than AAA but this is slightly offset by AA's weight.
AA and AAA has the same discharge rate. Discharge rate varies with different brands.
AA advantage would be run-time.
How many cells can the stock Iwaver 05 esc-rx handle?
This is the same from what I understand, there is actually different discharge rate for different battery, but this is decided by the type and not AA or AAA.
Also the capacity is much higher with AA then AAA.
I'm not too sure about the cells, but the battery pack that we are going to release soon will consist of 6 pcs of Intellect 2/3A-1400 High-Drain type. The speed and the Torque changes dramatically
I actually don't have the official spec, but I guess it really depends on your output voltage, if it is the same as a AA/AAA battery(I forgot the actual voltage) then it should not harm the PCB.
When I find a volt meter in the office, I'll actually take the output voltage from the battery pack itself, but I believe that the discharge rate really does help the torque and speed of the chassis.
Unfortunately our factory mistakenly glue the spring set together for this batch.
We have talked to the factory and asked them to never make the same mistake as this one.
We will be releasing the metallic upgrade for it very soon. That version can change spring set.
Does anybody knows what happens with the iwaver05?
Iwaver promised to offer an AA battery holder and an NiMH battery holder, but I can't find them in any place. The same for an upgraded motor and the same for the spare parts.
And the rtr kit seems to be out of stock everywhere.
I want to upgrade my iwaver05 but I've only found some chassis-aluminum parts manufactured by 3racing.
Does anybody knows if Iwaver is going to restock this car and its parts?
iwaver 05 will be coming back in stock this month.
The original parts would also be available then, the long hold up is due to the production cycle of the factory. Upgrade battery and Charger will also be available then.
The chassis aluminum parts are all available right now, the upgrade motor would be coming next.
I don't think fangel is still active or connected with Iwaver.
If in any consolation, maybe you should try contacting Longsun Toy company in Shenzhen, China (do a search in Alibaba) to get some assistance.
Otherwise, you are on your own on your project
I also have two of those... but I swapped the electronics with a 2.4Ghz controller and a Moped V16 ESC and a micro servo of iwaver to make it work on my rc rental... now they are semi-retired... the 1/28th cars have better future on my rental than those truck.
