    Initial EZ Start Charging Time

    hello all,
    I'm brand new into the Nitro hobby and just purchased a Rustler. How long does it take to charge the EZ start battery? I have had it on the charger that was included....plugged into wall....for about 10 hours and still "RED". What upgrade charger should I get?

    Cheers....

    Thanks buddy. I was so excited to try and start it that I actually tried after 3 hours....ugh. I just wanna smell and hear it. I have been reading about break in process including the 5 tank process but so pumped up. If you have any rOOkie suggestions.....feel free to share. Thanks for your efforts!!

    Look for a IMAXb6 charger. Good quality and can be found for $25-30 on your favorite amazon rain Forrest shopping site.
