finally collected car

a week late but got team associated sc4 instead of 3. two x 3700mah
batteries for £40. car was £200. ripmax prodigy 2 charger was £60.

Tyres are only street going instead of carpet ones so another £20-30 to fork
out for.

Batteries are vapex tech. I've never heard of them either!

As for charging i assumed there would be something in them but i set the
charger for 2 amps. It charged at 8.67 volts and after 115mins had got up
to 9volts. I stopped it when 3700mah had been delivered. Battery was
barely warm to the touch.

I'm not sure if this charger has an auto cut out or if i have to select it
as an option so i didn't let it run on. I'm assuming a 2hr charge for the
1st couple of cycles will be better than 1/2 hour charges at 5 amps.

Using a 100amp hour gel battery rescued from a 4 wheel mobility scooter to
drive the prodigy along.
