I was thinking of going to Epoching but now I'm looking @ mini Z. The community isn't dead, I see people in my general area to race, they cost about the same & they don't take a 9volt. I have a few Qs.

What would I enjoy racing by myself better? Mini Z or Epoch

How long would 700 mah Nimhs last in in a Mini Z. I got into mini r/cs cause I liked the concept of quick charge & I'm not an individual who owns a 1 hr charger ($35-40! Maybe AFTER my car!) so I want really good runtime. I honestly don't get WHY they don't use AA's in the car too.

I'd be alone most of the time. What would I prefer? I'm leaning towards the Epoch becuase I can race it indoors but the community is deader than well *kicks box of assoted cards*
