they use 4 alkaline batts?
how fast are they, they look sweet..
can they take lipo?
They cannot take lipo with the current pcb, but we will have a modified pcb available in about 60 days. They take AA batteries and depending on if you are using good ones or rechargables you should get at least 12-16 MPH stock out of them.
I think we will see some crazy mods done to them by users to make them go much much faster.

I'm glad to see you're investing in improving these RCs. However, I have posted before, warning people of the Achilles's heel: the drivetrain. This includes the: pinon, spur, diffs, tiny internal diffs gears, outdrives, and universals. I was attracted to these RCs because of the 4WD and hobby grade parts, however the drivetrain holds it back in so many ways, ruining an otherwise great product. All this talk of LiPo and brushless motors is useless without a drivetrain that could even think of handling it. I sincerely hope something is done to rectify this.
