      I was thinking…since charging once with the stock charger on the remote won t fill it up(the battery in the car), how many times should I actually recharge to fill up the litle battery inside? BTW, the battery in the car is stock and no mods have been done to the car whatsoever. (don t wanna wreck it)

      well, on my new Fairlady chassis:D, I got about 20+ minutes of running time…is this normal? cuz I assumed it would be normal for it to run that long.

      Off one charge? If I put mine on the charger 3-4 times yes you should get about 20 mins or so

      The newer the batteries in the TX, the longer the run time, and the more torque the motor seems to have, especially with Energizers I’ve noticed, though I remember reading that one model of Energizers should be avoided because they put out more than the standard amout of power for a AAA. no idea how much truth there was in that though.

      Replacement battery for in the car sells for around $5, so enjoy a little overcharging I say, just don’t let the battery get hot!
