theguthrie4 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Is it the one that sells for $100 at wal-mart? I tried doing a search but, I couldn't find anything. Thanks for any info D
Ladybug Mom Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I was wondering the same thing...I'm in Canada so I can't check it out in advance!
Guest Deals4Me Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 No...Not at all. its a small version that goes for about $50 normally.I bought one 2 years ago for my son.... still gpoing strong.
elena_398 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 My son got the $100 one last christmas. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't hold the charge very long. Lasts about a half hour then you have to charge for a few hours!
theguthrie4 Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Darn! Oh Well, wishful thinking Thanks for the reply D
Ravenseye Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 *smiles* I work at a hobby shop where the majority of what we sell are radio controlled vehicles. If you do not like the charger that came with those toys, check your local phone book for a hobby shop and check out the great chargers that are available for these things. There is one company in particular that I'd reccommend. Duratrax. They have two chargers that are particularly good for first timers: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUF43&P=0That one is great! It can to a lot of things that will help lengthen the life of the batteries you have like discharging, cycling and charging it at a rate that will not kill the battery. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD548&P=0This one is it's super-simpler cousin. It is only good for a type of battery called Nickel Cadmium, or NiCD. So, please check your batteries before you purchase this so you can determine whether or not the battery will be ruined by it. If your battery is a Nickel Metal Hydride, or NiMH, it will be destroyed by using the improper charger. If you have any other questions, please ask!-Mike
Gporter34 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I bought these same ones 2 years ago for my 2 youngest sons. I would NEVER buy them again!!! Well, maybe the Jeep. They were good for the price, but they tore up my heels and feet with those things. I suffered more for those than anything else. And before I could get them to the checkout, people were trying to take them off of my flatbed. I'm not sure why I am even considering those again.lol
