they go on the actual car yeah? and they are better than using normal batterys? if so ill get one of those for mine and put that ont he car then i only need to buy 8 recharables and a charger for the control

[howie87]

yeah that would replace the four aa holder in the car

i use 12 duracell rechargeable batterys in mine. never run the car one flat yet.

what are you running at the moment?

batterys or car? just cheapo throw away batteries morrisons home finest haha and its in a nitro ho bao pirate mt sport 1/8

[howie87]

the morisons batterys will be your problem. there crap mate. get a name brand. they may be expencive but saves changing them every five minutes. i went through a cheap pack of 20 in 2 hours oncce.

i use 12 duracell rechargeable batterys in mine. never run the car one flat yet.

is that about the same size as the 4 aa holder? so it will still fit in the black box on my car?

so you use 8 in your control and 4 in the car and they never ran flat?

cuz just lookin at prices n if i got a charger n rechargables already for the control it be cheaper to by 4 aas for the car instead of forkin out for the msuk charger and hump back

[Fl1p S1d3]

[howie87]

they should be good. there a higher capavcity than you can get in a reciver pack so should last ages. a 4600 lasts at least 5 hours in a baja. tho it wudnt fit in your truck
