i think you will be ok...i have been for 2 years...thats all i can gaurentee

well my car is pissing me off now when i give it gas nothing happens once in a while it will move but when i stop it dies again and when i charge the battery it gets really really hot. it say to charge for 24 min well i go for 10 min and i stop cuz it get so hot.

still using the 9.6v??

make sure the battery is completely drained, and completely cooled before you recharge it. i charge mine in my minifridge, and keep them in there when they are done. batteries hate heat.

also what kind of charger are you using?? 24 min?? the slower the better, mine is 4-5 hours. get a few batteries, few chargers, keep em cool, and you will have fun until you get sick of it, not the car dying on you

I'm a nitro man myself.

i really like the rs4... but i dont really want to spend money to something that i only do when im bored.

all you need now is the bonneville body for it

im useing the battery it came with 7.6v 1500mah or what ever that thing is.

what charger did it come with

you will get more use out of a higher mah battery, such as a 3000mah...

its a tower hobbies charger.

i have never liked those chargers...i had one that i plugged into my cigarette lighter, and it got the batteries so hot i couldnt touch em. i would invest in a slow drain charger

well right now im useing my old quick chager to see if its the charger or the battery. hopefully its the chager ill send it back and ill get a better one. are those intellapeak any good?
