Rough Rider Re-release

[macmeniac]

Is it possible to use normal 7.2V stick battery packs or do I have to buy the new 6.6V pack from Tamiya?

[WillyChang]

you cannot use 7.2V stickpack subC batteries in the radiobox, there is just no room

there is only width for a 5c 6.0V ladderpack or 6c 7.2V humppack which occupies the same footprint

modern alternative would also be the 6c-1700 shorty nicad that came with the Tyrrell 6-wheeler

if you don't want to use the LiFe A123 pack that Tamiya is pushing

For those that have the new re-released BC and corresponding new Tamiya battery pack...what sort of running times are you getting running the standard 540 motor?

I have been wondering over this too since I didn´t want to go down the LIPO road and I have a shorty pack in the mail from Jason. Little worried about run time though since it 1700Mh ???

Be very careful here, if you plan to use the radio box with your new BC then not many batteries will fit. Measure accuratly to aviod dissapointment. One easy option is go to your local model shop, or indeed enquire online and ask them to build you a 7.2v NiMh pack from 4600mAh sub Cs in a hump format with the hump cell between cells 2-3

Niether will any 7.4v LiPo packs designed for RC cars, softpack plane LiPos will fit but not recommended.
