Im planning to buy upgrades for my rc but i currently cannot get a credit card. So im buying the parts by mail and I've never done it before so if anybody can help me. On the form for the mailing it says "c/o" in the SHIPPING ADDRESS Section. If anybody could expain that part for me.

Oh yeah , another question that I have is that i do check on the "My payment is enclosed" right? If its an money order? Im all new to this.

Do you have a bank account? If so just open up a paypal account and transfer money into it from your checking account. Towerhobbies accepts paypal.
c/o just means "in care of". For example if you're shipping it to a business address it would be:
widgets inc. c/o krazykids (just means deliver to widgets inc. and widgets inc. will give it to krazykids) you wont need to put c/o just your name where it says name leave c/o blank.

Happilvania
Check payment enclosed given you will use a money order you will not have any processing delay.

oh i have one more question , i know what "customer #" is because i have registed a account on towerhobby to keep track of an order but i don't know what "Ad #" is. Can anybody explain it to me? Is it like a discount? because i saw on towerhobby theres a discount on items that are over $199?
edit: its on the form , top left near shipping address.

yes there are discounts there have been some posted in the general discussion area.
[link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5460456/tm.htm]discount thread[/link]
If you get the catalog you should find them there too or with a previous purchase.

i know this is off the subject but does this charger work for the vemon 6-cell battery pack? [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJC33&P=ML]Charger[/link] , [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHUJ9&P=ML]Vemon 6-cell Battery[/link]. I noticed they said something about sub-c cells in both of the "Tech Notes". Also i noticed that the vemon battery needs atleast 3-4A to charge , the charger charge 2.5A.

I don't know... I use a Piranha peak power DTXP4000
If it's a matter of money yeah get it, because you'll have to have a charger for that battery, if you can blow another 20 or 30 I'd do it. The charger will be important in your battery care, and if your batteries aren't in shape you're not going to get the best performance from your car.

that battery isnt the best nor is that charger. that charger doesnt seem to be promising. get yourself a peak charger with adjsutable amp rates. like a duratrax pirhana http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXCLD5&P=ML and this batter http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLWR4&P=7. that charger is one of the better chargers and that battery is a good deal. that charger that u linked isnt worth anything you would end up replacing it one month later. so you might as well save up for this one or a better one. that battery that u linked is ok but not the best off. i woudl go for that gp3900
