I think you need to take a picture of the plug and post it.

From the link it looks like the car runs on 12v, 10x1.2v nicad or nimh AA batteries. Not sure about the plug though. A 11.1v lipo would work great in this application assuming it would fit in the battery slot. Otherwise, you can just build a battery from 10 AA rechargeable batteries.

Go to cheapbatterypacks.com and order them in the attached configuration.

yep thats what i figured but i need the electrical layout i have guy in an rc shop that will build me a bad ass battery for what i need but i need to know where to tap off the right wires. Any one else own one of these. it not the best like some ive seen it doesnt have the suspenyion but heck it works for me i more into tanks my self but seen this and couldnt ressist also got a truck cheeapo to but looks cool, it has broken suspension on it i need to fix

what electrical layout? They all have to be in series in order to get 12v from 10 batteries. If your guy doesn't know how to do that then I'd suggest you not use him. As I said, I have no idea what the third wire could possibly be for, if you look at the picture of the charger you can see that it only has two wires (+ and -). Where does the third wire on the plug in the car go to?

now thats the answer i need the 3rd wire where does it go and what does it do. we kinda figured it was for the rcvr of the car servos and stuff a tap to power up the cars electronics. oh and what color goes to what. the red black and blue and what voltages are the red and blue wires i figure the black is ground. i like to see how fast this thing goes. any one that has pne please reply it would really help then.
thanks for the replies so far they have been helpful and keep them coming.
