8x AA's for the buggy and a 9volt for the controller, had a turbo switch on the gearbox if you ran it in torbo the batts lasted about 1/2 the time but man it made it faster
then I moved up in the world and got a hornet and I've owned so many since then I coulndn't write them all down.
So I guess it's like losing your virginity.....
no matter how many you've had you always remember your first
.....no matter how bad it was
