What battery do my use for my RC truck?

Depends on the truck. Mainly 7.2V batteries are used in RC cars/trucks. If you mean mAh wise then the higher the number the better.

How long does it take to charge RC car battery?

DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO BLINDLY TELL YOU TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES FOR 8 OR 10 HOURS OR OVERNIGHT! THEY ARE WRONG AND UNINFORMED!

BATTERIES VARY GREATLY DEPENDING ON A LOT OF FACTORS!! MAKE SURE THAT YOU PLUG EACH BATTERY/CHARGER COMBO INTO THIS EQUATION SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU DON'T OVERCHARGE YOUR BATTERY!!

To figure out how long to charge your battery for:

(battery capacity (battery's mAh rating)/charger output (mA)) x 1.4(for NiCad batteries, 1.5 for NiMh batteries) = time (in hours).

For example:

I have an 1100 mAh battery and a charger which outputs at 180mA (it should be written somewhere on the charger - Output= (X) mA - or something like that). It's a NiMh battery so you multiply by 1.5.

(1100/180) x 1.5 = 9.146666 hours

Note that the result in decimal, so 9.15 hours is NOT 9 hours and 15 minutes! 0.15 of an hour is approximately one sixth of an hour or ten minutes.

Therefore 9.15 hours = 9 hours and 10 mins approximately.

Please share this correct information to everyone you can. I have looked on many websites and this information isn't available. Most people just give the regular ignorant blind answer.

Thank you for sharing this and for doing your part to educate those out there that love RC/Airsoft/etc... as much as I do!

How do you rebind RC receiver in RC airplane?

For older systems running 27MHz no binding is necessary, simply ensure the Tx and Rx are using the same frequency crystals.

For newer 2.4GHz systems binding is necessary by shorting two of the pins on the port labelled 'bind'. Almost all Rx will come with a special binding plug, simply shorting these two wires.

Why does your RC nitro backfire when you run it?

It backfires because if you are going high speed and then suddenly let off the gas the extra gas that is flowing in has to come out some time another way it backfires is that something on the exhaust or carbeurator is loose or is missing something.

How fast will a HSP RC 4WD RTR NITRO GAS OFF ROAD BUGGY CAR ATOMIC WARHEAD petrol RC car go?

A hsp nitro warhead on a solid flat surface will reach speeds from 70-80kph at full throttle. U should never go to these types of speeds though because if u don't have ur motor set precise enough that u need a auto set kit to do it. If its not set precise ur motor will blow and u will never use it again. Good luck

Can you charge a 150 amh battery with a 120 amh charger?

If the voltage is the same you can. It will just take a bit longer to charge than a 150 amh charger.

How long can you keep RC nitro fuel for?

Rc car fuel is a vital component .....blah blah blah! We have heard that all before! Rc car fuel. Can be stored for up to I think 3-8 months when the jug has NEVER been opened! Once it is open I would say one month tops if you don't use a lot of fuel I would suggest that you buy a smaller bottle Also you don't want to store fuel in your filling bottle for a few reasons

1 it will go bad because of the air that's in the bottle and the small amount of fuel in it

2 the fuel bottle is made of a soft compound made to be squeezeable and along with that soft compound comes the more likelynes of the bottle getting weak spots. Hope this helps

Which would make a RC boat go faster a 7.4 volt or a 9.4volt?

a 9 volt battery would make it go faster because of the amount of energy going into the boats main power which turns the propeller so a 9 volt is the one to use!!!!
