Man I cant wait to order my batteries. I charged the factory batteries last nite and then went out after church today and it made a total of abought 3-5 minutes before they where dead. I have had isues with the chargers in the past not fully charging the batteries so I hope I dont end up needing new chargers as well. The one is only as old as the summit, maybee 2-3 month old and the other is maybe 6 months old. The newer one has a digital readout that says howmuch MA it has put in the battery while the old one just has a light that turns green when its done so you never realy know if it is actauly charged or if it just tripped itself out early again.

Balloon LOL. I'm talking about plasti dip for something like that. it's like a rubber or plastic that coats the servo and keeps out water

Ya to be honest Ime note sure its the batteries. it could be the chargers. I have had isues with both chargers randomly shutting off after only partaly charging batteries. either way around the stockers dont run near long enough for my likeing. I do most of my bashing in high range and if I get 15 minutes out of it thats abought it. I want as many mAH as posible. I intend on doing a Dewalt conversion and probobly a duel Dewalt if Ime gona do it. Its just gona have to waite a while. My wife is off work for 12 weeks on maternaty leave and my budget is a little titer than normal. I was gona get the cheap ones as well but I always try to buy quality if I can aford it cause cheap crap is just that cheap crap and usaly causes me more greif than its worth.
