Battery Life
 

hey guys, im gonna go out and buy a supra tonight but i was wondering how long do the batteries last on the stock motor?

thx in advance

about 10-15 minutes, RS is soon to release the IC3 rechargeables, they are nimhs that recharge in 15 minutes and are more powerful and longer lasting than current nimhs, so be ready soon...

would you recomend just like regular rechagable batteries wile i wait for the real ones to come out. . .

yeah the xmods nimhs are a great deal, 4 aaa nimhs is $20, so 8 and a charger for 25 is a great deal

allright thx for the info guys ill try and find those when i buy the supra tomarrow.

hey is it posible to use just normal AAA batteries
the ones that dont recharge

yeah the only way to have it worth while is in a sanctioned race that u need extra power to win

why not use it daily?

a 4 pack is like 3-4 dollars, imagine replacing alkalines every 15 minutes

alkalines are slower any way

rayovac already makes the ic3. very nice batt.
-speaking of rs though, i went there tonight to get another starter kit (red supra) and some upgrades. the guy that sold the stuff to me said rs is going to be releasing the stage 3 motor soon (he had a space on the wall for it). you work at rs, do you know if this is true? and if so do you know when?

i heard rumors about it being one motor and higher rpm than the stage 2. also from what i heard it was a bit pricey

s2000, i think that you heard about the nml stage 10, a total rebuild of the stage two which seems to be the best right now for xmods, this guy tried miniz motors, says that his beats the living snot out of them, he is well known in the miniz forum, so i would trust him. a couple of vids are around show how flipping fast it is... looks like now the only problem is handling... oh and money... i believe he is selling them for 47 bucks, only seven he has made for the time being....

havent seen anything in the saturday morning videos, online, or anything, i may take a look more in depth today, but i havent seen any confirmations

ok... thank you for checking on it
