    I'm not really into R/C ....yet....but my wife bought me a Tamiya R/C Landcruiser FJ40 (to go with the real one in my garage). It's partially done.

    Well, I was running the mamba monster at 6s with proper settings.. so I'm not exactly sure. It just stopped working.
    Castle was pretty helpful, and said all I need to do is ship it to them and they'll replace it at no charge.

    Anything but Lipo's are really a waste of money now that the technology is here and had time to develop to the level it has. The difference is unreal.
