    Lightbulb Questions on The spirit

    How long would the stock tires last?
    And how long would a 7.2 volt 1500mA battery last?Also... u cant use a 9.6 volt battery on the spirit... right? Does the motor have a lot of torque so ir can spin its wheels or go on carpet? Last question... is the trigger on the remote transmitter pressure-sensitive?

    Thanks for any suggestions

    the stock tires will last a while till u have to replace them. and a 1500 batt should last around 7-10 minutes depending on driving style and stuff. the motor gives it quite a bit of tourqe. i was driving it in my garage and it would just spin out everytime on smooth concrete. also its real good on 180 spins. and the pressure sensitive. dou u mean the pistol grip controll?

    the pressure sensitive thimg is when you press the trigger a little the car goes slow and when you press the trigger all the way, the car will go fast.

    The front tires will probably last you a few weeks at the most. The rears seem to last much, much longer. i replaced my first set with Bandit tires. They lasted a little longer. I then replced those with rims & tires from an old Tamiya Falcon, which seem to be lasting forever.
