What Batteries
Hi Guys
Just starting to work on my tanks again and was wondering what batteries are you guys using these days? I have dug out 3 of my 3000mah Venom packs which havent been used in a few years, Im hoping that I can get them back working again.

RE: What Batteries
Im having a great time with a pair of 5100 mAh NIMH packs from the local hobby shop, last for days of casual use and fit stock HL battery boxes just fine.

RE: What Batteries
At the least, 2.5-3 hours of 'running around', and likely more. Now if you're doing jumps off hills or doing a power mud climb all day, it will be less.
Ive never had one of these batteries run dead during use, I always charge them before that happens. Even on event days.

RE: What Batteries
In a tank they wont last quite that long because you have a lot more rolling resistance. But 1.5 to 2 hours should be about right for a good Nihm 5000 pack.
Your Venoms are most likely no good now especially if they are NiCd packs. You can try cycling them a few times but who knows.

RE: What Batteries
actually I charged up the venoms ( there NIMH ) and they are working fine, I might not have to buy any now.
I had the tanks running around for a hour or so on each pack today.
