Just purchased 2 3700mAh hump batteries off ebay for my Ranger runner. Having charged one on Saturday using my Ansmann delta-peak charger I was amazed how quick the car was and how long it lasted.

Today though after a charge it seemed alot slower. The car is standard using vintage radio gear etc. I asume its to do with the charging of the battery. Any ideas anyone?

Anyone got any ideas?

I'd cycle your cells and check your motor. I swapped my stuff over to a ESC so I don't have to worry about old stuff dying.

The batteries are new so they should be ok. What could be wrong with the motor? Have thought about changing to a ESC. Have a new Tamiya one which came with my shelf Lunchbox. Could that be used? I believe the vintage receiver plugs are different so I assume I need a new modern handset/receiver etc.
