WOW!!! Eventful day...got the car out for it's first spin and SCARED THE CRAP out of our 5y/o. Have to say I was a little frightened of the thing myself. Speed was crazy, range was great, crashes were...many. Some were HARD. In fact...broke the ball that threads into the upper suspension arm and connects to the wheel. Car is OUT right now. So my FIRST upgrade purchase was replacement ALUMINUM upper and lower suspension arms for the front of the car. I figured it looks like this is an area that takes a beating so let's beef it up a bit. Then, I started thinking about our conversation here and just purchased a Thunder ac680 charger (thanks for the recommendation FarBeyondDriven and Nitro) and ended up with two Gen Ace 5000mah 40C batteries (seemed like really good batteries and they used my connectors). REALLY wanted a charger that would do more than one at a time but...I was spending TOO MUCH for ONE DAY as it was. I think I MAY have wrecked a shock as well. Oil all over it and seems a little...flimsy. Where do I get into a shock discussion that I won't understand?

THANKS FOLKS!!
