Wow ok thanks, they havent sent me a tracking number yet, and it has been 5 business days.....So the battery is trash and the charger? Good thing i bought my new charger...When i get back from vegas i will buy a duratrax 3800 with deans! I will try different mounting places also.... Does the duratrax 4200 give you better performance then the 1500mah nicid battery pack to? How long of runs are you getting with the 4200mah compared to the 1500mah sport? I want a battery that lasts longer then 2-5mins wow how are you supposed to drive?[:@]i will probably make a discharger and do a couple charges through the batts...I have seen people make a light bulb and connect it to there battery and discharge like that, so i might try that!
