:woohoo: I want to know if i can run my electric rc 18 mt in the snow. i have heard more yesses than nos but i want to make sure and the people on this site are the smartest i know lol. thx:woohoo:

yes you can but you would have to waterproof your electronics. some people use baloons to stick the electronics in.

Yes BUT........in my opinion it's more trouble than it's worth. Worry of bearing seizing from water, rust from water on exposed metal parts, making sure electronics are waterproofed. So unless you are sure you are ready for the maintenance after EVERY trip out in the white stuff, I'd suggest against it. :)

that too lol

ok i really am not worried about rust. only like 8 metal parts. mostly bolts. but i think your right not worth it. I was just wondering. O and another question. I have 3 batteries for it and left them over winter in basement. i left a little charge in then scince they are nimh like the instructions told me and they wont charge now?? My quick charger quits after about 80mAh out of 1100 and 1400. I dont understand??? maybe use trickle charge or was it the cold? (basements pretty cold)??:confused::cry:

Remember plastic is much more brittle in the cold weather.

as for the batteries- it depends on how you treated them BEFORE they were stored.If they were a little abused( overdischarged, over charged, or just plain over used) They will go foul when they are allowed to 'rest' for long periods of time. Try to discharge them to .9v per cel and them try and charge them. If they come back to life then cycle them a couple times over a couple day period. Also if you are using a peak charger make sure your charge settings are correct as far as amperage and what not. I will say this the 2/3A cells are pretty tempermental about being over discharged, so if you have over discharged them on a few occasions they are probally about done for.

do you have, or you need to make a discharger. you need to get heat in em. make a lightbulb discharger. all ya need is one or 2 bulbs for 2/3 cells. let it go to 80mah, then plug it into the lights. wait a few minutes, and charge again. do that a handfull of times and they should come back.

I would have to agree with ovalman.... Way more trouble then it is worth.

can you tell me how to make a light bulb discarger? And my battery is 6 cell.:woohoo:
Can i charge it put it in car use it then charge again instead?
