No problemo -

I dunno what it is with my Zaps, but I've always had good runtimes with them. None of them have any mods at all, short of (if you could even call it a "mod") using the XMods battery charger that comes with 8 AAA NimH batteries.

One thing that may attribute to the longer runtimes, is that all of my Zap racing I do out in the circular driveway out in front of my house (WAY too damn many dust bunnies inside the house, I shudder the thought of runnign them in there LOL!). Most of my runs are full throttle, with smooth turns (mostly oval-like) due to the large driveway. I'm thinking that maybe my longer runtimes might be due to this, although I usually run them at full speed, there aren't any sharp turns... it's all smooth turning with very little de-acceleration. Maybe this could be why.

Anyhoo, check the pic of my driveway at my Zaps Stuff web page, link is in my sig below -

P.S. Sorry for sounding so smart arsed in my previous post, been kinda stressed out watching Ivan for the past week and a half (I live in Miami), as well as watching the previous one, Frances.
