tonytiger88 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I been very interested in getting a Mini z MR03, the reason i stayed away and just purchased crappy Wltoys cars is the fact that those uses LIPO. I had an Mini z MR01 like in 2003-ish, and i remember those AA-batteries drain so damn quickly, because of that mindset i havent dared to buy the new Mini z MR03. sure technology has gone forward but AA-batteries feel a bit outdated when everything uses LIPO nowdays. How long runtime will you get and will those batteries drain like in 90s RC cars - slower slower slower dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Everything uses Lipo these days. Including the phone or laptop you probably used to write this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 If they using these batteries i would avoid all together just get a cheap FTX small rally car for a hell of a lot less money little holigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I converted my mini z to li-ion a while back now. Not had any problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSeaRC Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Yes, Mini-Z still uses 4x AAA batteries for the car and another 4x AAA batteries for the transmitter. However, I have been using my Mini-Z 4x4 for quite a few months now and it really isn't so much of a problem. Run time is decent and I can't complain about the performance (although mine is a crawler rather than a MR-03 Racer). You can get higher capacity rechargeable AAA batteries if you wish but I'm just using the cheapo AAA's with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butty91 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 There's a club in Milton Keynes if your local. They would be more than happy to help and give help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
