I bought my Son a stock Tamiya TT-02 (Lancia Delta Integrale) for Christmas which we have almost completed building and are looking at sourcing the parts required to get it up and running.

It will be used for playing around on the driveway/in the garden so we’re not looking at going crazy upgrading at present. I’ve ordered a ball bearing kit and oil-filled shocks to replace the friction ones in the kit.

I’ve also bought a Flysky FS-GTC3 transmitter/receiver and a JX-PDI 4409MG servo.

I just need to sort out a battery/charger. As I understand, the speed controller in the stock kit is not designed for LiPo batteries and could risk over-discharging. Does that mean I need to look at NiMH batteries? Any good current recommendations for UK sources batteries and a compatible charger?

I have been given a TLP Fuzzy Logic AC/DC switching charger, although I have no instructions for it and don’t know how to use it. I’m not sure if this is obsolete now.

Any advice to would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
