I tore out a little piece of foam where the battery cover tag fits in. Opposite side of the latch. About an inch square and 3/8 deep. I am thinking a little gorilla glue and some packing tape?

RE: associated t4.1 brushless rtr

It'll run well and be plenty fast and fun right out of the box but the servo is pretty slow and the stock tires aren't good.

RE: imax b6ac lipo fast charge question

I remember reading somewhere that fast charge mode does not fully charge the battery, but I thought that it went to 70-80%. It would take over 2 1/2 hours to charge a 2600mah at 1 amp,

RE: turnigy li-po batteries

Nothing wrong with them. Great  bang for the buck. I've heard of an occasional bad one, but at $20ish apiece you'd still be way ahead of the curve.

RE: RC10T4 Good truck ???

T4.1 is a great truck. Bought an RTR 6 months ago and have been very happy. I am brand new to this so it must be durable to still be alive.

RE: Truck tyres on a buggy??(new member)

RE: good fast nimh charger ac/dc

With 3 4000mah or higher batteries you should be fine. You'll get 30 plus minutes or so out of each. By the time you get the car checked out and cooled down you're looking at 45 minutes or so. You'll...
