Charging

[Spongebob]

im a newb, and want a rocket racer. i feel stupid saying this, but does the stock DRR use alkaline batteries, or rechargeables? how do you charge them if they are rechargeable?

[irc]

The stock DRR can use either battery type. If you buy rechargables get the correct charger at the same time.

It can use either/or. It takes 8 AA for the transmitter and 4 AAA for the car.

I use alkalines in the transmitter because they will last a loooong time, but I use rechargable AAA's in the car. I just bought the cheap Raovac 700 mah ones from Walmart and the Raovac charger from Walmart. The car batteries last almost an hour before they need recharging. I've got 2 sets. One charging, and one in the car. It's really up to you as to what you want to use in the car, but I think replacing alkaline AAA's in the car would get expensive after a while.
