Hi there good fellas,

Some queries:-

1) My MRC seems to have less than a minute of running time even after charging the stock batteries for 6-7 hours. Is this normal?

2) Did everything, like binding the electronics, changing the 04x AA batteries for the receiver, charged the NIMH batteries.

3) Did not face any problem on the first day of playing. Problem started after charging the NIMH batteries, the very next day.


What's the delio guys? Anyone can help this poor soul?

Regards - Jo (From the city of Singapore)

Bro,
Are you implying that I need to change the stock NIMH batteries to a lipo one?
Thanx for replying on my queries though.

not in the slighest....i switched to lipo to get my cg down low....im running a 800mah 2s on the rear axel...when i was running the stock batt i charged it on my mrc super brain 959 and it took about 2 hours to charge it on .05 amps...if you plan on using the mrc for comps then ya lipo is the way to go but you will need a low voltage cut off and a lipo charger.. but if u just gona use the mrc for bashing then the stock batt should be fine..if you run other rc vehicles make a adapter for the mrc pack to use on your charger and see if that helps you out any..
