      I cut the wire connecting the charge panel and the remote control, then directly connect the battery port to the charge panel? is that correct?

      or I must use a 3 or 4 battery charger to chare the car???

      by the way is there a possibility that the 2.4V (I use Charged battery) from the remote is not high enough to chare the 2.4V in the Bit Char g?

      i just unsoldered the charging dock from the circut board and kept those wires and then soldered the black to black and red to red on the battery pack charger.

      You all seem to be headin’ in the right direction 🙂 A 4 cell pack connected to the car seems to work best, keep it connected for about 2 minutes and you will have a lovely long runtime :smiley16:

      Conraha—don’t use Rechargeble batteries for a charger. if your controller is only for control not charging then it’s fine. But if u charge the Dual Cell cars they won’t charge because the rechargeble batteries only have 2.4-2.5V when Alkaline batteries has 3V.
