Rich888 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hi. Ive a ripmax Dingo & Jackal. Ever since new the batteries seem to last only a few minutes. I have 6 battery packs .. all the same. The R/C just beeps and twitches on bith cars after a few minutes. Moror will drive when held in the air& not on the ground... but as soon as there is any resistance is stops. Frustrating as the kids have now disengaged as they only get max 5mins play .. and often its only 1-2 mins. Tried slow charging & fast charging batteries .. no difference. Help/advice appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 is that a standard size nihm or a smaller type ? if it is standard size then you can get up to 5000 mah 3-4 times as long a run time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich888 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yes .. standard size. I couldn't find anything larger that will fit in the car. ? I'm still concerned that I only get 2-5 mins out of the standard battery Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich888 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 thanks May try it as will get 10-15 mins out of one of those 5000mAh. Surprised the car sucks that much juice .. but guess thats how they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 what charger do you have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squarecrumpets Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 They are NiMH 1300mAh 7.2v (6x1.2v cells) Picture below Thanks These are 2/3 AF size. Unfortunately you can’t get much larger capacities (the highest I’m aware off is 1,600 mAh) however your run times don’t sound right. What make and model is the vehicle you’re using to them in??
