i have been using the same hobbico w/meter for 2 years ....i think its taking a dump right now ....i got a long reach patriot rc brand ...it came with an 1800 mah battery ...but i will run a maxamps 4.4k 4400 in it ..thats what i ran in my other one and it will last months without charging .....the racers edge is nice and for that matter i was gonna get a long reach hotshot2 but it was like 7 bucks more than the one i got ..... sometimes the contact in the head gets out of wack ...my buddy put a piece of heat shrink on the inside of my old one to straighten it out and it worked like a champ for a long time .....just get a decent nimh high cap battery for it ....best thing you can do for a glow ignitor ...put some juice to it ...inmho
