I ordered a good Lipo balance charger and some 5C rated batteries so they should charge at a decent rate. Being the VXL model the stock ESC has a lipo cutoff and a brushless motor. So with the new batteries it should scoot. I was playing with it tonight after only charging the NiMh for about 45 mins with the wall wort. Its wanting to stand up on the rear wheels a ton, so I'll have to learn to drive out the wheelie or get a bar on the back of it.
