You'r doing well. The most I can get out of my latest ZZ SE is about 8 feet on a charge. Its am Aston Martin DB5 chassis with an Escalade body, lights and music. Any easy way to change out the battery or should I just take it back?
He's talking about charging with a peak charger. This fills the battery slowly so it gets a full charge. The standard TX charger is a quick charger that doesn't even fill the internal battery by half.
When you say you have the newer chassis that comes with the DB5, then I assume you'd have good run times, but you also mention music, so I'm thinking you've added some circuitry to the chassis that is drawing a lot of juice. I don't think you have a reason to take it back if this is the case. You just need to add another battery in parallel to make up for what your music circuit is using. If your music circuit is hooked to another battery seperate from the internal one, then I'd check the batteries in the controller before exchanging it as they may be to weak to give an ample charge. You shouldn't need to replace the battery in a new chassis.
