What rechargeable are people having the most luck with?  How long to

I'm really happy with the Energizer NiMH rechargeables - 2500mAh - 4 for $18 at
Home Depot.  I have 2 sets of 6, and I use them in my digital camera as well.
I use a normal recharger - 5 hours.

I'd estimate 30-60 minutes on a charge - depending on traction, weight of car,
how often you go full forward, then full reverse, etc.   I've usually gotten bored of driving BEFORE the batteries gave out.  Or, I came up with an improvement, which required a rebuild of the car :)

Derek, can you bring the instructions on friday?
DAve, I'll bring the instructions for the yellow car.
Rob A., I'll bring the "stuff" for you.

Ok, so like the first time I take it out for a spin and I break a piece. Derek (20 years ago, 11-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
