NiMh...?? use Lipo, you're gonna have much more fun!!!


we use about 5-6.5A to charge a pack of 7.4v LiPo which the capacity is about 7000mah, and it takes about 40 minutes...

and the run time is about 15~ minutes with a 17.5 turn brushless motor...

I bet this is the direction you may go in the future, since it is very easy to maintain, no battery-memory, less heat, and the pack last forever...
