after some practice sessions and 'testing'

summer school begins tmr =O

but thats ok, i have a pretty lax schedule so i should still have plenty of mini z time
one thing about having your own track is that you can practice whenever you want, and generally your skills improve faster...or in my case a lot faster than before. the MR015 is getting to be really fast...so long as you dont flip it cutting the corner dots too aggressively. oh yeah, ozite leaves your car relatively dirty...and i have a piece of who knows what jam my servo, so i had to service my car, no big deal though. still need to put a steering pot from my F1 into my MR02RM, to fix my RM, later i will order a bunch of those pots online and replace one into my F1. just the other day, i ordered a new Lacrosse BC-900 (V33) battery charger/conditioner for my mini Z batteries, the price was right, and i am growing impatient with my current Rayovac ps3, which either overcharges or undercharges the batteries...it blows

those GP850's mentioned earlier are not bad at all, their pretty good actually. im not really sure if they are better than the GP850's that i got long ago, if they actually have more punch, or is it just due to them being new cells that aren't broken in yet. i can only really tell after i get my bc-900 to properly charge and cycle the cells. however the cells are pretty good was my first impression, good punch, punch lasts long, and the cells dump (lose their power) relatively quickly so you aren't left with a set of batteries that aren't really drained, but are insufficient to drive the car at a decent pace. the runtime is certainly not bad, especially if the cells are to be race packs, even for practice they have plenty of juice.
