Best way to learn is get some cones ( can be milk jugs or coffee cans ) go to your local ball park and practice . Do ovals with left turns then do them with right turns , do figure 8s , shalom , and esses . Just anything to get used to turning left and right . When I was 1st starting out I was told the one thing that made everything fall into place . ALWAYS PICTURE YOURSELF IN THE COCKPIT . No matter what HAVE FUN

Sorry guys,
Got stuck in back to back to back meetings.
I friggin hate meetings.
Anyway i am sure I could get hooked pretty easy and I will try to keep you informed.
I am outta here for today though.
I went snowboarding yesterday and after 53 years on this planet the way I spent the first 35 years my body is getting tired and don't recover quite as well as it once did.
Take care and thanks again.

What I need is extra/better batteries and a faster charger.
8 hours to charge and ran dead in around 20 minutes.

Just played in the front yard and street.
Pretty easy to roll it.

Just to start out get yourself a good nicad / nimh / lipo charger . I suggest the Duratrax ICE INTELLIPEAK . At $ 110.00 it's relatively cheap and you can charge any type pack in RC . NiCad batteries are your low end pack and good to start out , Nimh packs are alot better and offer more run time and better performance . Finally there is the top of the line Lipo packs they offer the best all around ( one word of caution with LiPos DO NOT OVERCHARGE OR THEY CAN AND WILL CATCH FIRE ) . As for battery packs for basic Nicads I'd get Duratrax ONYX 6 cell packs . They're around $12.00 each . For Nimh packs Associated WOLFPACK packs have always been a good choice and cost around $ 30.00 - $ 40.00  . For LiPos I'd suggest the Traxxas POWERCELL packs they cost around $ 50.00 to $ 60.00 , No matter what packs you get buy at least 3 . Then what you do is cycle them , while you use 1 the other is charging , and other is on deck cooling . Then repeat use 1 cool 1 charge 1 . Hope this helps and continue to have fun .
