If youcharge your batteries multiple times then they give a longer run. Thisdoes not mean doing the ritual ten-fifteen times but two or three timesis sufficient. Most of the micro remote control cars come with NiCadbatteries but it is better to go with NiMAH batteries as they don’t seemto have memory problems that typically plague the NiCad batteries.Moreover, they also accept multi-charging better. This is the reasonthat micro remote control cars get a longer run time. | | |
