Has anyone bought the NiMh from new bright? If so was it worth it. I want more power!

the NiMh battery that newbright sells is a 1250ma battery, i found it on towerhobbies site the one from radio shack is 1600ma so go with the radio shack one, i got the radio shack one and am still deciding if it was worth it

Is the one from radio shack a hard pack? It doesn't matter though, does it?

Thanks

I think its a flat cell pack

I was running through the snow. At times it would get stuck - front tires spining, back tires not moving (other times it was the oposite). The truck itself is ok. Because changing the gear ratio is out of the question, I need more juice.

Will the radioshack 1600 nimah improve this? How about pluging in a 1500, 7.2v nicad (from high powered RC trucks)? The voltage is less, but it may provide more current.

Who has tried this, and what's the results?

yes the cambodian boy himself bought it it does last longer but not a noticable speed difference.

I stole a NiMH off another car i had, and noticed the same results. Longer run time for the same charge. I also do believe that it is a flat cell as charles posted.

I've got the New Bright 1250 Mah Nimh from another r/c. Doesn't do much for the power. Does however give better run times...

well thanks, I wanted more power. The higher run time is good, but i wanted more of a beast.

More power eh Ive been lookin at Tamiya pinions and found that some have the same inner shaft diameter. These are like 9 tooth and smaller. Be on the look out this si where youll find power my friends!

Smaller, softer tires may help as well. Ground clearance will suffer but your gear ratio will be cut down quite a bit. Thats a pretty direct route that i may try.

like i always say, the radioshack charger and 2000mah batt will do the trick. i run it all day long when i take it out
