Well I've now tried the Dirt Crusher out with a 3000 mAh battery and it
works fine, and lasted for just under 50 minutes!
It turns out the batteries are pretty standard NiMH or NiCD 6 cell 7.2V
packs with the standard Tamiya connector.
You can also get fast chargers that will charger what will charge these
types of batteries in much quicker times that the one that comes in the box.
I've now picked a second Dirt Crusher, time to go racing.
