Hi
I dont do alot of reviews, but here it goes....
I bought mine used, in near mint shape. It was complete in it's original box.
It ran fairly well, for about 20 minutes. The speed was ok, on the NiMh battery...
In an effort to get more runtime, I decided to forgo the 7.2v NiMh 1100mah battery for a
7.4 2200mah LiPo....Now this move absolutely requires a Lipo Specific charger, hopefully
one that balances each individual cell as it charges. I happen to have one for another car
so this switch was not a problem.
I bought a few Zippy lipo's from Hong Kong (one for this car was $12.79).
The difference was staggering. The car now runs at darn near 20mph, which is what it was supposed to do
with the old battery. But the real difference is runtime, even with 3 5-6 year olds taking turns they get bored,
it's on the order of 60 minutes+ !!!!
Overall this thing is just simply a blast, it's got speed , and now awesome...Read more
