Battery & motor Question...

[Goodie1994]

Hey guys. I just bought 2 new batteries for my Evader. Both are 2000mah Nicad. I was wondering how long to charge them for? I have a 15 min quick charger for them. I know it's a noob question, but I have been out of electric for a long time. Back in the day when I used electric all we had was 1800mah for our best battery,lol. I have heard that these bigger batteries need more charge time, but im not 100% sure.

Now for my second question. I'm going to be putting a Speed Gem2 motor in my Evader soon. I have read that motors need to be broke in. We never used to do this way back in the day. we just ran them. How do I break one of these in with out damaging it?

Thx for any help guy :D

oh btw. Do any of you guys know where I can get an aluminium chassis for my evader?

Well first off i wouold highly reccomend buying a peak charger. But when I used to have a timer charger and 2000's I charged them for 20-25 minutes... anywere in there is fine.

WOW!! That long eh? That kinda sucks. My charger is about 15 years old with a dial timer on it. It also has a needle apm gauage thing, lol. It's old but it still works, lol. I was thinking about getting one of those peak chargers with 2 battery connections. Then I would go buy 2 more 2000 mah batteries and have non stop RC Time :D

I was looking at this charger

I also like this one, but it's not a duel charger.

Ok I have another quick question for you guys as well as the questions above. I got a Team Orion Core Stock motor in this Evader right now and I was wondering if the timing can be set on it. If it can how do I do it. I have tried losening 4 different screws but it still won't turn :(
