Status: offline 		Using the battery and charger that is included you want to charge it for at least 8 hours.

You can get faster chargers from most hobby shops.

Status: offline 		depends on what amperage you charge at. With most chargers, you can charge it in as little as 20 minutes (depending on pack capacity).

Status: offline 		If you are going to invest in a charger, you should also upgrade the battery as well. The battery and charger that are included in the box are great for beginners where it might be their first RC vehicle. Going with a better battery alone, will give you longer run times and a much faster vehicle.

Status: offline 		Do you think an 8 cell, 9.6 volt, Ni-MH, 4000 mah battery would be good, or could it possibly cause the motor to burn up ??

Status: offline 		it comes with the r/c industry standard tamiya style plugs...... and also comes with deans plugs not installed. I'd recommend using deans plugs.
