3feet?, thats nothing. I can wheelie mine for an entire straight on an RCP track (20ft?). Comm drops and a peak charger to charge the battery are all it takes

I believe this was the subject of this thread. I have also been looking for batteries like this- my runtime is only about 8 minutes, even with a peak charger (and yes it will wheelie for about 30 feet on concrete).

You can't use one IB1400 cell- that's only 1.2 volts. It would run forever, but only go about 1 mph.

Has anyone out there had any success finding higher capacity 1/3AAA batteries out there?? I really don't wan't to go the Lipo route.

Thanks to anyone willing to keep this thread on-subject.
