Hello all I have been putting some thought towards building a sparing arena. The primary purpose is to train up my driving skills ( or the designated driver) help develop future ants and let others try them out. I may also use it at our local fete to help raise a bit of money for their charity. My d...

Very impressive.

It did till i added the back plate. Now it dose sit there!

I will be adding some bodywork to avoid this. Or cut back some body to let the wheels roll again.

Thats helpfull to know. I will try a charge later. On that note the battery says charge not more than 2c ( which i assume is 2 amp). In terms of charge setting whats a safe ampage to charge it at. The charger has options up to 5A

Can the battery be charged unballanced?
