[stompjrkz400]

Hey everyone, i just picked up a nylint crawler, its the 1/6 scale, scorpion body, not that it matters, and i dont have the charger, so im using a normal car charger and it seems that even when i get a full charge after about 3 minutes the truck starts to pulsate, all at once it kicks on and off, ive had alot of rc trucks, i usally dont mess around with lowergrade ones this this but i have alway wanted a crawler so, does anyone have an idea, before i get a new battery i wanted to know if maybe there could be somthing else doing it, thanx everyone in adavance

More than likely the battery is deplenished, I have around 5 of those batteries and they've all lost their omph over the years.

so then, it kicking on and off very fast is normal, generally when i have a bad battery it just slows down alot, but thanx for hte reply

You say after 3 min. Does it work normal during those 3 minutes?

to the best of my knowledge it works normal, i got this and a rc sled off the curb, i have to charge the battery for 8 hrs on 2 amp to get it to sustain an ok charge of 13.2 volts, after about 3 or 4 minutes it starts glitching,

ok well i took a quick video for everyone, it took about 3 minutes to start doing this, please excuse my crawling ( its hard with a camera in one hand ) but this gives you the general idea

my buddy has a nylint and his did the same thing, that battery would take and hold a charge but would go all funky after a few min of driving, it was a NIB battery, but the battery thats seen a shit load of charges works fine untill it dies. it eventually worked it self out after the NIB battery had been charged 5 or 6 times

My advice would be to get a "hobby grade" crawler......

i would love to get a good truck, i just sold my tmaxx 2.5 and an omni a while ago, i cant afford rc vehicles, the only thing i do now is my airplanes. today i hooked this up to a powersupply and it seemed to work fine, im going to run it for 30 minutes or so tommrow of that and see if the same things happens, if so, it will probably see the trash becuse im not going to take the time to diagnose the crappy eletroincs

haha i miss the old nylints. those things were fun to play around with. If it werent for those things i wouldnt appreciate my hobby grade crawlers nearly as much
