My Feedback: (2)

Got my revo a few days ago, wondeing how often the car needs to be charged (receiver batt.) and how often using regular duracell AAs the transmitter will last??

I ran my car a few times, the reciever seemed ok but charged it after so I dont know if it needed it or I was just being paraniod that it was going to die.

Any suggestions on a cheap solution for transmitter batteries, perhaps rechargable or a pack of some sort that I can charge with my 7.2 peak charger?

Thanks!

as long as you remember to shut the controler off, the batteries should last a good long time. and also the red light on the transmitter will blink when they are low, so look at the light before you shut it off.

the revo has a couple of l.e.d.s the blue one indicates something about the tranny, but the green one indicates battery condition. it has three colors, green= good, orange=half,
red=dead.
the optidrive also acts as a failsafe, if you ignore the led's, and the voltage drops too far, the optidrive will shut down all servos, and the truck will no longer respond to your commands and its time to recharge.---------- i hope you enjoy your revo as much as i do mine, later, chris

I bought a set of 4 Energizer NiMH AAs rated at 2300 mAh. I charged them and put it in the truck and forgot and left the power on for about 46 hours. Took the truck out the third day and the batteries were still good. I ran the truck for about an hour and quit and the batteries are still O.K. (I assume so because the truck still repond to the transmitter).
BTW, I have the T.
