Ok, get your laugh'er warmed up 'cuz I'm gonna ask some Duesy Dumb-ones. I just bought my FIRST. EVER. RC Car!! I have ALWAYS wanted one but never bought one. I used to DREAM about the MRC Super Champ when I was a kid and the best I ever got was a GOOFY RC Three-Wheeler that did WHEELIES. So, my Fahter-In-Law bought our 5 y/o daughter an RC Corvette for Christmas last year. She never really gave it a second look but the other day she wanted to take it outside so we did and...THE BUG BIT HARD!! So I started researching and decided to get a Monsoon XTE because the price was right and it looked rather LEGIT in terms of getting me started. I've read all the positive and mainly negative reviews, but it didn't deter me, I went for it and it arrived today. NOW...I KNOW NOTHING about parts/specs/ANYTHING. The charger that came with it looks rather cheapo and I'm bummed that it looks like I have to charge the two batteries one at a time. I would imagine the charger is the first thing I'd upgrade if it makes a difference. Will it? What should I look at upgrading to? Should I upgrade the batteries? Honestly folks I'm totally ignorant but CAN'T WAIT to bust this thing out. There is a local(ish) track I am going to head to later this week with a buddy who bought..."his son"...a Traxxis Truck last year. My wife joked about our "play date" and I'm PUMPED!! Thanks for your help.
