is that a dead battery? do I have to charge this battery at very low amps for like 40 hours?
or do these servos do eat up power?
because I ran this battery full charged for like 30-40min 1 weekend it sat for 7 days ran it again after a 45min charge on the traxxas revo charger and it seemed the battery was dead.
yes it could be from a weak battery in the remote or the receiver.
yes, charging it takes a long time, not 40 hours though.
yes, servos eat up power like crazy, I have a 1600mah battery pack for the receiver and I need to charge it every hour of driving time. in the remote I have 8 rechargeable AA batts, those last about 6 hours driving time.
what charger are you using?
