Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / January 2004RC Chevy Avalanche
Where is the best place to get an Avalanche? Can these prices be beaten: http://shop1.outpost.com/product/2837034 http://shop1.outpost.com/product/3133720 http://shop1.outpost.com/product/3412953 Most likely one of the smaller two. Are these appropriate for a 6 year-old? Thanks. >Where is the best place to get an Avalanche? Can these prices be beaten: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Thanks. Mot sure about the Avalanche but I own a Nikko Buggy "La Nera" in scale 1:14 and this is fun even for a big kid. The charger and battery (6Volt) solve the power problem and allow around 10-20 minute runtime. I would not recommend the Avalanche in 1:20 due to the AA batteries. Not saying they are bad, just the charger is more convenient in my opinion. best regards Olaf > I would not recommend the Avalanche in 1:20 due to the AA batteries. > Not saying they are bad, just the charger is more convenient in my > opinion. I run NiMH AA batts in the Mini-T and other models, and they do just fine. Much more throughput than alkalines, in my informal cube farm testing.

Install a Trinity, Kan, Dynamite, Venom (I'm sure there are others) 1100-1200 Mah 7.2v 6-cell pack in your Mini-T, and you will really see it come to life. A well charged 7.2v or 8.4v pack will blow away even the best Nimh AA's. |
