| Does anyone know a good ESC and motor to use with 7.2v 3000mAh to 3600mAh battery packs for a basic setup as i have been looking on modelsportuk, but i don't know what motor to use with what ESC as i have only ever had the mechanical speed controllers and standard 540 motor in my electric cars.
And this is the first one i have had that needs a ESC and motor to match so any help will be grateful as i need it big time,also does anyone know a good charger to use with those batterys above as the charger i got only charges batterys upto 1800mAh so i need a new one. | |

| Dynamite,
You don't need a new charger. Nicads and NiMi's charge at a constant current so you just need to leave them on charge longer.
Do you know the charge rate of your present charger?
(or how long it takes to charge a know capacity battery)

| I need a new one as one charger works off 12v and the other one is a mains charger but for only 1300 size batterys so i need a combined mains and 12v charger,and i am now going for 8 cell battery packs instead of 6 or 7 cell battery as i want more power and longer run times.
