Which cheap toys use standard AA or AAA battery cells, for both motor and RC, instead of 9v, special batteries, or battery packs?

Thanks a > > lot. > > Radio Shack Xmods, to name one That uses 9v in RC. They all do! AA's seem to be the cell of choice for any electronics these days. What takes a 'c' size battery besides(ya know) womans best freind? And it probably takes 'AA's' now a days. Unless she is of the 'd' cell variety and i do not want anything to do with that! LOL! Designers of electronic devices are in a conspiracy with cell maufactures.They want to sell you more batteries over a period,so they design a item for the AA cell.Most cheap appliances that run off AA's would (if designed) for 'C' cell would in fact run 3-4 times longer.At not really be as cumbersome as the add wizards make you beleive.We are facing a very serious polllutin problem in the futer beacause of this (micro light weight) tech.Most larger (so-called) inieffiecient products have stand by formulas have worked for years if not decades, have been dissmissed for its (high tech) battery munching counterpart. For an example? The new mach 3 razor by gilette? Do we really need this? Or is it just another device cashing in on the geek factor? People who care about the future should care about this?(I do not care,no kids=no future) > What takes a 'c' size battery besides(ya know) womans best freind?

Not many people know that there are rechargeable 9v batteries. I hate using the disposables myself. > > > > Which cheap toys use standard AA or AAA battery cells, for both > > motor and RC, instead of 9v, special batteries, or battery packs? [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > what's the prob with a 9V battery in the transmitter? I just don't want to buy 9v rechargeables and new charger for that. I already have tens of AA and AAA rechargeables and a good charger. I'd rather put the money of new batteries and chargers into other aspects of the car. Anyway, it should be easy and cheap for them to put in a voltage step up circuit and use AA/AAA instead of 9v. Isnt the Losi Mini-T able to use AA to power it? > Isnt the Losi Mini-T able to use AA to power it? the OP said "cheap" RC vehicle, the LMT is 150 bucks quote; From: kenji@ripco.com (kenji) the OP said "cheap" RC vehicle, the LMT is 150 bucks :quote Well he really didnt put a price tag on cheap. To some $150 is cheap. Might find a used one for under $100 though. It would be a relatively cheap yet quality rc toy. |
