For starters there is not Exceed Electric forum so I'm posting it here like the rest.

I just put in my order for one of these 1/10 Exceed Dynamite electric trucks this morning. I've been researching all friggen day on electric RC cars and more specifically, the DETAILS about this truck.
I've read every topic/thread on this forum pertaining to this brand truck. Some answers were found, lots of insight was uncovered, but I still have some nagging questions I need answered before my truck gets here. I know for the $99 bucks I paid I shouldn't expect top notch quality and I accept that. I can spend $10 here, 5 there, 20 there on random parts just fine. What I really want though is to ELIMINATE the problems before I even begin my journey into RC electrics. I have had an Associated RC10 nitro truck in the past so I know all about them but the electrics elude me. I'm pretty much going to list a series of questions and hopefully you fine folks can help me out with some advice and/or answers. Lets get started shall we?

1. Compatibility. I've read that other Exceed trucks (mostly nitro) and cars share similar platforms with other brands like redhat. What, if any, other brands/models are identical to the Dynamite?

2. Batteries and chargers(2 part) - I've already ordered (2x) 7.2V 3300mAH NiMH RC Batteries from radio shack based on numerous accounts of the battery that comes witht the truck is a P.O.S. Can I go higher? I think I saw some 4000's and 4200's somewhere but where a bit more expensive. Chargers - the kit comes with one but I was reading that it takes 12hours to charge a battery?! I want something that will charge my batteries in the least amount of time possible. Can someone help me track down a good charger for NiMH batteries? I'll end up getting 2 or 3 more batteries anyway.

3. ESCs and Motors - Ok i've been reading a lot on these 2 items but I just can't figure it out. Other than trying to find non-brushless ESC's for the last 2 hours I just don't understand what they mean in their specs: Motor Limit 12 turn Motor limit 27 turn... I understand the turn part, and I can tell by shopping for motors that they have turn #'s and such but limit from where? a turn 1-12 for a 12 limit? What is the actual range these things mean? . I've ordered a new motor already also, Trinity Speed Gem Pro nitronite 12 Turn Double Modified Motor. Based on my researching sounds like the right power to speed ratio I'm looking for (More torque/power than speed). I've hit a roadblock though. I can't seem to find ANY info on the ESC that comes with the truck. All I know is that it says: SP-03018 on it from the pics at the website. I was looking for info on it to find out what turn it was rated to, basically can it handle the motor I just purchased? If it can't can someone point me to a decent ESC to get? I'd like to go brushless like most people suggest but all the brushless motors I searched for were for planes and helicopters. None said they were for RC cars/trucks. Also, if I can find a brushless motor to use, what ESC should I choose. Suggestions for combo's are greatly appreciated here!

4. Radio - Has anyone had any issues with these? All I know is they are pistol grip style and 2ch. Can't find any info on what exactly the controller model is for this package or I could find out the range these things have and whether or not I should go ahead and get a new one.

5. Gearing - Yah so there is something with this whole gearing thing I reckon. Something about speed/accel differences. GREAT! Less teeth is better accel/torque I think. This kinda fits into the compatibility question, but what other brands gears fit in this truck? Are gears universal?

So ends my list. Not a very long one really. I haven't recieved my dynamite yet of course since I just ordered it today but I'd like to get my parts/upgrades shipped to me so they arrive around the same time as my truck does. I've come back to R/C after a very long time. Can anyone remember Raider ARR's from the 80's? Lol thats how long it's been for electrics. I've always enjoyed R/C cars but a lot has changed since my day and I'd like to catch up a little bit. Thanks for any suggestions or answers you guys can give.
