Hi, Some n00b questions
Hi
Im from Australia, Been visiting this site for a few days caching up on all the info. There are still a couple of things i would like to ask.
1. With the stock battery, how many times can you charg it on a stock remote. Ive heard you can do it more than once and i did it on a friends twice and got a good 15 mins out of it. Does this harm the battery. eg. give it a memmory and will only charg so much next time, or is it like the battery in your mobile phone which you can charg anytime.
2 The NiMH battery. I am thinking of getting this battery
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....tem=3105522846
How many times can you charge these ones untill they are full.
3. If there are any other australians out there, where do you get your parts and cars from. I cant find an australian onlineshop or normal shop that sells them. I dont have a credit card so i cant get them from OS.
Thanx for your help.
See you around

umm probably chaging 2x is efficient enough to run for like 10-15 minutes..and if u cant wait for a minute and a half of charging..u got a problem 
with a new Nimh id still charge it 2x, and then one time after each charge..but i wouldnt buy it off of ebay

Ill ring the battery shop and see if they got one.

well the pic they show is retarded, because u cant see how much Nimh it is....and they dont even state how much...
also if a bit can handle 3 cells at once.....u know that even one upgrade wont kill it....
rest asure that the one way to fry your bit is to put it over fire

Thanx Shypo for the links. Been to AusMicro before. Its the only good australian one i have found. The only reason im here not there is because it seems a bit slow there.
Thanx MTL for the help.
