ill try the supermarkets, Argos might have some offers too so ill check there..

as for rechargeable, ive heard these are no good for Nitro cars, as they lose charge quicker than good duracells...how true that is I dont know so we will see!

you have to use the more expensive rechargables

they did a test on rechargeables on the gadget show and found uniross batterys and charger were the best.

If you shop around for a charger you should be able to find one (at no extra cost to standard) that has a car adapter and the usual mains

you need rechargables for the servos, you get better amperage and a better steering response. use the duracells in your controller

my mate races model cars and the problem with rechargeables is there 1.2v opposed to 1.5v, maplins do a hybrid rechargeable and they last a bit longer, or better still use energiser lithium ultimate batteries, much better than duracells, get them from --
