As for about how many times you can charge it im guessing at least 200 (I really have no idea). The batteries last for about 30-40 minutes each run. They take about 2 hours to get fully charged.

1000 is very common for NiMH batteries. If you buy NiCd in the future, though they have their certain advantage as RC batteries, they don't last nearly as long (I THINK, i thought they last ~500 times) and must be fully drained before recharging. Rechargeable alkalines last shorter than NiCd, significantly less I believe around ~200 times I think, and don't have the same steady output under load.
I could be wrong though...

I've seen some at my local wal-mart not too sure about the price though. I think that the charger and the batteries together cost about $30 to $40.

It seems like Rayovac has built a good reputation among the small car crowd, and Sanyo built a good reputation among hobby RC racers in general.
