Hobbico 910

does anyone know if i can charge the battery with my hobbico 910?

and if so how long/what rate?

approximately what is the run time of these?


is there a good place to buy after market bodies on teh web?


has anyone taken the plastic inserts out of the tires?

i'm debating putting them back in...does it improve traction at all?

im not posotive on this but im pretty sure that the hobbico 910 is only meant for 7.2 volt batteries... charging that huge 12 volt motorcycle style battery could cause bad thing to happen... id just stick to the factory charger. I have actually bought a grip of batteries (they are only $7.00 a piece) and charge them all up and you will be able to wheel till you break something.

well at first i thought you were wrong....


it says you can charge the 7 cell battery packs or the 6 cell packs... i think those are different voltages... anyways there is a switch on the side, one way for 6 one way for 7.

i wouldnt think it would matter that much if anyone can give me a 100% positive answer that would be grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAT!

also just got finished wheelin at the neighbors hoouse on their pile of concrete...definetly gonna pull the skid plates. they were getting hooked on so much crap.

after i run it once without the skidplates i'm gonna flip the tires bakcwards...so i have a frame of reference between each mod


whats this fast and furious battery i've heard about?

Just use the stock charger, it's a lead acid battery. You can't use a normal charger for it. 6 cells = 7.2, 7 cells = 8.4 volts. This battery is 12 volts.

The FF battery is at walmart, for a large scale ricer car - its smaller and lighter and less run time, same voltage.
