nimh batterys
 
hey i've just got the traxxas power cell 1 its just a little 6 cell. Should i be discharging every time i use it or not? and if so how do you run it all the way out? thanks

i just run mine till they get weak, not really to the point where the truck wont drive under its own power, but yeah... i run em down pretty far.

if i use it on the front street, ill go till it can barely climb up my sidewalk, in the snow.

No, you dont need to with a NiMh battery.
NiMh dosent build up "memory" like the old NiCd batts do.

sorry i don't no much. But say theres still some charge in the battery then i go and charge 1200mah into it and the limit for the battery is 1200mah won't that over charge my battery?
