Hi John, 2000mah means 2000 milli amp hours which is 2 amp hours. so if you charged at 2 amps it would take 1 hour, at 1 amp would 2 hours , at 4 amps would take 1/2 hour etc. with a new pack its recommended to trickle charge for the first charge, this allows the voltage of the individual cells in the pack to stabilise ( if there is any individual instability) and the pack to 'bed in' on the charger(or in the supplied document) it will say the trickle charge rate. for example 100ma which is 100 milli amp i.e. 0.1 Amps , at this rate your pack will take 2000mah / 100ma = 20 hours minimum to charge. i say minimum because the losses at such a charge rate are significant. if this is the trickle charge rate leave it for 24hours, any longer will do no harm at such a low rate, excess charge will be dissipated as heat. with your charger there is no readout of how much charge you are putting in to the pack. i am not familiar with the charger you have, i have just read that the fast charge is timed limited to 30mins , then it auto switches to trickle charge. some websites say it's fast rate is 2 - 3A. i dont know how the charger determines a full charge? some chargers use heat/delta peak etc but are not senstive to such for the first xx mins. Also various websites recommend this charger for packs up to 1700mah only. i would NOT recommend fast charging for 30mins then fast charging again for a full 30mins at all. Never fast charge a fully charged pack whatever the chemistry. the method james suggests is possible but do not leave unattended on the 2nd charge!!!!! personally i use a Schulze 330d charger which has an LCD display of how much charge has gone in ( and also how much out on its discharge setting). i have been using it for years for electric flight wilth nicd's, nimh's and lithium polymer batteries. its ultra reliable. tough as boots and fully upgradeable if need be. for example if i were to charge your pack with it, i'd set it a say 2amps ( its selectable between 0.1amps and 5.5amps) and it would take 1 hour to charge, it automatically stops when its full and displays the exact amount of charge 'put in' , this is helpfull because it allows you to monitor the packs well being, for example if id run it to 'empty' and it only put say 1346mah back in id know the pack was dying. it also allows you to select 'auto charge' and it will ramp the current up to whatever it detects the cells and charge leads can handle, and tail the charge off once the pack is nearly full. it also has multiple charge/discharge cycle programs which are good for wakeing a pack up this hasn't been used for a while, or for prepareing a pack for storage. (storeing a pack when full will cause very significant loss of capacity holding ability) wah! abit long winded, but its all usefull [] Have fun!! Alex

wo there, do you really represent time tunnel?? brain in gear b4 mouth( or in this case fingers) in motion? if your for real do you honestly think that post will help you?? perhaps uk traders should take a more US style stance of more volume less profit per item, that goes for all retail trade, increases productivity also. isn't it better to sell more items at a lower price than few at a higher price? . when you see an item such as an Mtroniks truck viper esc which is made in yorkshire retail here for £54 (= £46+vat) when you can get it from HK for £29 + vat, or the tamiya F350 which you can get inc fast post(ems) from japan inc all uk taxes and handling charges for £212 Alex

http://www.308hobbies.com/ on the Holloway road in north london is a good knowledgeable shop. they sell cars ,helis , planes. tamiya, picco, italian nitro r/c bikes, losi, hpi, parma, os, spektrum, ko-propo, futaba, sanwa, hangar9, kyosho, technokit, fg, etc etc. its got alot of things for its size tube station is holloway road on the piccadilly line, 2 min walk Alex

depends what your using it in. how many amps does your setup pull? or rather whats the average amp draw of your setup? 4300 mili amp hours, in other words if your setup average amp draw was 4.3 amps the pack would last for 1 hour, and so on Alex

Tamiya instructions are brilliant, enjoy the build with your son!

Tamiya, thank you for the High-lift, it's re-ignited my interest in rc-cars, im about to start the build [] I'd really like to see an all metal truck. Metal gears, casings, links, arms, shocks, connectors, wheels, everything! with the 3-speed gearbox, optional 4WS, a detailed cabin/driver(as option), front powered winch(maybe as option), lights kit(as option), include a Polycarbonate and Lexan body( for that fresh from the jetwash showroom look!) and give it a purposefull beefy look! oh and blister packs would be nice [] and!!! [] A 2WD ALL metal Baja/Dakar style buggy with a 2-speed or 3-speed driver selectable gearbox. and again blister packs for that great presentation/collectability factor! Alex

thanks Joel !
