Battery Question
I use nimh in my 1/8th scale. Couple weeks ago i was going to race my buggy and the battery acted like it was dead. So i charged it, went back out and within 5 min it acted like it was dead. So i thought i was the battery. Today i went and bought one new. Charged it, it only took 100mah to reach full charge. I took it off,put it in my buggy to tune my engine, and same thing, within 5 min it was dead. I ruled out the switch,transponder, and both servos causing interference. I check the voltage on the battery and it was at 6.39 volts. I put my battery from my truggy, works fine. Is there something your supposed to do with new batterys or did i buy a fed up battery from the store and my old one was actually dead. or what. Please give me opinions or tell me something i did wrong cause my race is tommrow.
Thank you

We need more information to help you. What kind of 1/8th scale. Are you saying it is an electric conversion if so, what motor, esc, and mah batt. Or is it nitro and this is a receiver pack? Difficult to guess without some more details.

Can you drain the truck batt that worked & try & charge it? Is the charger jacked is what I'm asking.
