HI Guys,
I have a question, Can you fit some kind of alternator to a nitro car, So when it's running it can trickle charge the Battery pack? I highly doubt you can but if there was such a thing it would make your nitor car so much more fun when you don't have to worry about the battery pack for the servos being charged.

But from a mechanical point of view it would be fairly easy to implement. I wonder why it has never been done...Maybe they want us to spend extra money on Batteries

So that would be $10 for a chargeable battery pack and say about $40 for the alternator. Sounds good to me and no more worrying about your Car batteries, All you need is nitro gas.....I am going to look into this I am sure if i come up with a solution people would be quick to jump on board. [8D]

its a good idea but will add weight to the car which will slow it down and people dont want that. Most people have rechargable batteries for thier cars anyways, it would be just making the alternator.

You ask for a quick answer and I gave one.........fact is there are charging systems out there that will sustain charges in air planes and are used frequently, but one hard jar and the unit is done most of the time. The beating on the ground that a car or truck take or would give a generator makes it not worth the time it would take to invest in it an that small a scale. Step up a thousand dollars or so and you get into 1/5 and 1/4 class that hold enough fuel to run for an hour or so they have alternators for those that are workable................so my short answer is still NO................lol[&o]No because what good would it do to have something keep a charge for a prolonged period and you still have to stop every 10 minutes??????????????? POP another battery in
